Re: Pentax-110 18mm @f/13

It's an excellent lens and I only "know" it at f2.8 so this f/13 shot really makes me drool - how'dya do it?

I put the 110 lens mount into an old compur shutter that had been gutted. I think it was a shutter for a Rolleiflex, so the aperture was setup for a 75mm lens. At its smallest opening it provides 1/3 stop more than f/11 for the 18mm lens.

This post is where I origionally described it.

ChrisJ also has a post about using Waterhouse type stops on a 110 adapter.

I should read my own post. The Rollei shutter was my first attempt, the finished product was a KoniRapid (for a 50mm lens).

Matt, I'm sure this is what Cartier-Bresson was referring to when he spoke of the "Decisive Moment". Right up my street - pun intended :D

On our walk this morning. I live in a city of millions (Toronto) but, fortunately, there are some lovely parks. This is the Rouge Valley, situated at the edge of the city, but still easily reached by city bus.

M3photo: Thanks for commenting. The size of the MFT cameras and the compact zooms lend themselves to snap shooting. a little visible cigarette smoke would have been good; and, what are they talking about? Cheers.

The Fuji 50mm is not bad when it is raining and people are not very mobile.

Brian Mosley: The middle portrait's charming. I like the angular distortion. The detail-less black furniture strengthens the composition and focus the eye on the girl's face.

Vivek: I really enjoy your street photography. Teddy bear photos's cool. What's a Fujinon-TV 50/1.4? Is it a lens off a television camera?

Thanks for both of you sharing your work. Cheers.

Matt, Fujinon-TV lenses are in c-mount (I use 25/1.4 and the 50/1.4- both need modifications in order to be used with a c-mount adapter on a m4/3rds cam. I am supposed to show how those are done but haven't gotten around to it yet. :eek:) I bought them for ~$20 (25/1.4) and ~$35 (50/1.4).

Here is one snap from today using the 50/1.4 (similar weather now in the Hague as to the pacific north-west.).

Vivek, Thanks. Really good value for your money! I'll look for you "how to" ost. Another nice shot. Oh, it was 65 deg. F. and sunny in Seattle today. Cheers.
