HOLY #$%& WOW!

Duuuuuuude. I've only ever seen 1 Great Horned in my life, and for a brief moment when driving a work truck through a back-lot on a golf course I worked on years ago. I spend a good amount of time, out of doors during the summer. I have seen many a rare species, but the fact that you caught a GHO on camera... truly impressive.

p.s. this makes me horribly jealous now, because I've been trying to take a pic of the two racoons that occasionally roost in the oak behind my place, and they have evaded me several times now.

Sad part I only had my G1 and FD 85L attached. I couldn't get any closer as I had my dog on leash with me and she wouldn't stay put she wanted to continue and track the deer. I have seen them a few times in Fish Creek this was only the 2nd time I was able to photograph. The most memorable without camera was several years ago at twilight when two of them glided about two feet over my head that was an awesome experience seeing them full wing span and hearing the sounds as they glided over, then landing on a tree in front of me.

sounds like a great deal. bokeh looks pretty good and i've certainly seen worse vignetting. how is it sharpness wise?

Kahren, is there no brand name at all printed on that lens? I also wonder if it covers the sensor. The image look like a 16:9 format image. Are the corners all black in 4:3 format?

Edit: FUJIAN CHINA, TV LENS GDS-25, is that what is it says on it?

sharpness is not the best, but i haven't really used anything else m43 wise, except an ep-1 with oly 17mm 2.8 which was sharper. this ebay lens is also not that great for farther objects.

there is really nothing else stamped on it that i could see. just says "25mm 1.4 tv lens"
it covers the sensor ok, but not fully it does vignette its more obvious if you are shooting something that is equally bright throughout the frame, the image i posted earlier is 3:2 i don't really shoot in 4:3. i can snap a few next time i get a chance.

here is another in 16:9
the second image is 3:2 with more obvious vignette
and the last one showing not so great performance with further objects, it also has a very weird ellipsoidal focusing field that is not always obvious
if you guys want i can make a dedicated thread for this lens, and show more pictures

(this is all wide open btw, as i actauly have removed the aperture blades from this lens

, while i was modifying it to get it to focus closer and to move the focusing ring from being closer to flange vs being out closer to the front element, since having this on the m43 mount makes it annoying to use the focusing ring.)

Thank you for elaborating. The first image was indeed shot in 3:2 format. I wonder if the swirly bokeh will be tiresome in a short time... I have a Pentax CCTV lens, also 25/1.4, and I sometimes use at pubs and such places. An OK party lens, not that good for anything else. Some of these lenses render the background better than the in focus parts, lol.

regards,

A bit offtopic, but as far as I know owls don't make any sound when flying (that makes them so successful hunters). Nevertheless, great experience!

Sorry these are near MFD, but that's 1m so no biggie

f/1.5 50mm wide open. Not bad for a 70+ year old lens design.

More impressive considering the lens is the size of a golfball

Thrice: EXIF data says 2.8 for the first pic and 1.7 for the second.

That all depends on if they are gliding, or flapping their stubby wings to support their relatively fat body. I have experienced both

I have an adapter for my zuiko 50mm 1.4 but I'm reluctant to use it because the exp. meter isn't very accurate with it. Any advice? Robert
I don't have the 17-85 nor the 55-250 anymore but I thought these were good for those lenses.
1. 17-85 @ f5.7
2. 55-250 @ f6.4
3. 17-85 @ f5.7

What lens?

Zeiss ZM C-Sonnar 50/1.5, the aperture is guessed as there is no electrical/mechanical linkage between aperture of the lens and the M9. It guesses using a sensor on the front of the body in combination with the light meter in the camera. Easily misread if you exposure lock/recompose or if you get fingerprints on the little sensor on the front etc.

That's some busy background, absolutely. May I guess this is the Nokton 50/1.1, not the 50/1.5?

Yes, the f1.1 - It has been really fun seeing what this lens can do

Burningheart - I swear we frequent the same areas often..... I took this quick snap probably of the same owl in Fish Creek near Sikome Lake. Not a great pic but pretty cool to see.
