Public Holiday in UK today, good motorcycle weather - so into Mendip Hills with new to me
Contax 35-70 3.4 (Flipped my Angenieux 35-70) Walk in woods and Priddy Village green.
A7RII A change from my usual Cathedral Pics
Village green
One with Voightlander 15mm MkII
And one of the original Hurdles I took in 2010 with D700 and Sigma 12-24 - before it was burnt down.
Variation on the same theme (Samyang 24mm f/1.4 for Sony FE).
It seems like I got a good copy of that lens (balanced sharpness from corner to corner - left to right), but it not useable IMO at f/1.4 & f/2.0. It starts to be very good at f/2.8 (as shot below):
After two weeks in Split for a summer school then 3 days in Dubrovnik, 1 day in Zadar and a couple of days exploring Sali & Zaglav I've near 6,000 shots to work my way through. Though half of them at least are probably for panoramas...
Still going to take a week or two to sort them all out.
I really like this thread - I don't shoot Sony any longer (because Fuji's more fun to me) but there's no denying the talent in these images and I'm happy I get to browse them
We had an awesome rainbow before sunset earlier today. Went outside and fired off a few bracketed shots with my Loxia 21. No time for the tripod as the light was fading fast. This is the result.
Has anyone found that the Voigtlander 10mm with the Techart Pro is more temperamental in focusing than other lenses? My experience is that with good light and sharp edges it works very well but where there is less contrast it can fail to find infinity focus, especially if on f8 or f11. over the weekend i often found myself looking behind me for a building or some other manmade object to get infinity focus, and opening up to 5.6 just to focus. It was important to check the focus on each picture after taking it. Manual focus is difficult because you need to get the adapter parked in just the right position, which is hard, and i am tempted to get a manual LM to E-mount adapter too, just for when i want manual focus.
But overall, i am still very happy with the way it works. it still seems amazing that it does autofocus as well as it does. and with "long" lenses, like a 21 or 24, it seems to nail focus every time except for when there is user error.
