Post your best photo that has come from your alternative blended gear. It would be nice to found out something about your set-up and equipment used. This is a great learning experience and a great way to experiment with alternative lenses and gear. The first few posts are copies from the end of Alternative Image Thread 2.

My first post on this thread, I believe. E-1 with OM Zuiko 100mm f/2.8

Canon D30 Carl Zeiss Planar 85/1.4

Here are some, shot with OM 35-105

Jorgen, wonderful angle on that shot, very nice!

Cambo 4x5, Aero-Ektar 7" f2.5, Tri-X 320 developed in HC110 and TF-4. Shot wide open with a red filter to darken the greens of the Christmas tree and let the lights stand out more. A little abstract, something I don't do very often, but I enjoyed it :-) First run with the Aero-Ektar.

Amazing, Daniel!

Awesome... I love the distortion, actually.

Beautiful and unusual images Daniel, some sort of multiplying prism filters I assume ?

Here's one from today, using a highly alternative camera, at least for this thread.
December morning fog.
Canon IXUS 860 (a p&s I'm currently evaluating as a pocket/take everywhere camera)

The only filter was the red filter on the back of the lens. That might have added something, I didn't look through it at the tree without the filter. I'm not sure if this is the how the lens originally performed or not, it's been opened up at least once, so it's possible that some of the elements aren't in the correct spots. It doesn't produce those odd flares unless there are hot spots (like the lights) it's creamy unless there is a hot spot. I have some more experimenting to do with it

M8, 90 mm Apo summicron.

Just for fun. Rollei 6008AF, Sinar eMotion22 digital back, 150mm f4 lens at f5.6, iso 25, 1/500.

Go on Graham, spoil us with a crop of the eyes... ;-)

Frozen landscape.
M8, 15 mm C-V.

Here's one for those who like pink

E-1 with OM Zuiko 100mm f/2.8

Jorgen: love the riot of pastel colours in that shot.

Graham: pixel perfect as usual.

We've had much frost lately. Can give some nice effects. Here are a couple.
M8, 90 mm Apo-Summicron.

Again M8 and the 90 mm. Seems that the M8 can take 10 degrees below freezing better than me...

Olympus E-1, Zuiko 11-22mm f/2.8-3.5 @ 11mm f/9.0

Canon 5D with Contax N 70-300mm @ 300mm, 1/1000th @ f8, ISO 400.

MF gear is really larger than 35mm slr gear. but boy, it is much more fun too.
