i'm gonna have to try some music performance shots soon.. since i've been using a better lens.. its all manual, but i'm up for a challenge

 

[budda]

Ooh what kind of lens did you get?

Those photos were shot with a 50 1.4 around 2.8-4, all manual focus lol. Mostly because my camera's buggy, and the autofocus doesn't really work anywhere besides sunlight anymore. I'm really needing an upgrade from my well abused K-r, but I'm waiting until Pentax releases their next gen cameras.

i shoot an Olympus E-330, recently picked up an Olympus OM 50mm f/1.8 film lens.. been looking at the OM 28mm f/2.8 film lens, would go with the f/2.0 but its much more expensive.. film lens are so much cheaper for quality glass since everyone uses digital now-a-days

 

[budda]

Yeah I still use film lenses. My favorite is a 30 something year old sigma 35-70 2.8-4 i've been using. It's a zoom master series. If you ever spot one on ebay, get it! lol

 

[eg6sir]

this one? lol

Yes that's the one. Mine has a slightly different lens barrel, probably just a newer/older version, but the optics are essentially the same. It's an excellent bargain lens. Even wide open it's really sharp, but if you stop down, it's absolutely ridiculous.
(shot with it at F8)

thats a cool shot.. still havent picked up anything.. watching a 24mm f/2.8 Vivitar on eBay.. gonna end in less than a day

few macro shots i got messing around in the front yard one morning

and of course i gotta throw in one of one of my dogs

 

[eg6sir]

[lostsoulzprophet]

what lens was those macro shots from

 

[phunky.buddha]

just ordered a Vivatar 28mm f/2.5 on eBay for $35

this lens

Wow that cheap? Time to start hunting eBay for lenses...

 

[eg6sir]

macro was done with the 50mm f/1.8 and the full extension tube i picked up.. one of them was all 3 pieces(12,20, 36mm sections totaling 68mm extension).. that leaf w/ the water drop on it was only about an inch wide

and the reason so cheap on the lens is because its a film lens.. requires being ran in manual mode

i love film lenses now.. only thing i'll buy unless i get a super deal on a digital lens
Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 OM - $40
Vivitar 28mm f/2.5 OM - $35
Vivitar AT-21 Ext tubes - $10
OM-4/3 adapter - $10

 

[lostsoulzprophet]

yea i got extension tubes just used them the other. day.. stuff looks good. i need to upload pics but my usb and card reader went out on my laptop so no real way to do it yet

 

[eg6sir]

i need to get me a new body.. i hate the 2x crop on the 4/3 cameras

 

[BodyDroppedNikes]
