p.1 #1 · Alt Lenses/Alt Bodies Picture Thread


We used to have an amazing thread of pictures of our favorite alt lenses on various bodies but they have been shelved into the deep archives. I know the lenses on NEX thread have been an active thread. But there are newer members who haven't appreciated the fine engineering of this so lets start a new one+ new camera bodies have been released! (Only one general rule: camera body + lense must not be of same manufacture, but you can break it if you feel your stuff is obscure enough!)

GO!


edit** keep it high rez enough for us to enjoy!

Nothing recent, but a couple of golden oldies follow. First is the lovely (and cheap) Yashica ML 24/2.8 as taken by Lumix FX150 and hand-synced studio lights. Second demonstrates my crazy Visoflex obsession, with unnaturally situated Elmar 90 M taken by D30 classic.

Neither a tiny lens on a huge body nor a gigantic lens on a tiny body, but still one of my favourite combos.

Apparently this is going to be the Jordan shows some pics of his EM5 thread.

Took this shot for another forum since there was some discussion on grip...this shows the relative size (small) and how I grip, which also avoids the strap lug.

I no longer have either of these, but I thought the silver XT and the 105/2.5 Nikkor-P made a handsome combination...took nice pix too...

...and recently my 40D died...waiting for repair...here with the 180/2.8 Nikkor-ED
