eow_1: Nice shots with the hexanon, could you perhaps post some crops from the lens wide open and stopped down a little as well? Im quite interested in converting one.
Also, maybe you would be kind enough to make a thread with some pictures of the converted mount and how it was done
"We" have became better! Still, aimed at nobody in particular. Just some nagging again because I'm a grumpy person:
This thread has been a joy for the most part of it. Now it can either be forgotten and dropped - or improved?!
May I kindly ask you all to hold back on your macros and extreme close-ups? Background blurred to beyond recognition isn't really a problem for any lens capable of close enough focusing, and a task for any P&S as well as for an SLR camera.
Instead, now let us focus on quality rather than quantity, OK?
Background OOF highlights or strong contrast are of interest
Subject isolation and background rendering is of interest (subject somewhat bigger than a bird at least then)
Rendring of areas going from the focal plane and out from it is of interest
...and some more I have forgotten.
I hope you macro guys don't take any offence.
Please also remember to tell us what lens and camera (sensor size) you used when taking your admirable image. And remember, an admirable image here is not necessarily a piece fo art - but an image giving us an idea about how the lens handles OOF areas.
Model: Canon EOS 5D
Lens (mm): 17

Tamron 17-35 2.8-4.0 (slight cropping top and bottom, ca and distortion correction)
A truly astounding lens, Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH wide open. Sorry for the quantity Jonas, I don't see any other examples from this lens so I figured why not share
