you're killing me, Wouter!, you leak information :ROTFL: Enjoy your cam Cam :thumbs:
you're right -- for zone focusing they're absolutely brill! it's in the regular focusing that drives me nuts. the Epson patch is more finicky and difficult to see than the M8 and that tab just makes it more frustrating... for zone, though, i imagine it's king of the hill.Cam, if you're at all like me, you will come to love the focusing tab on the CV lenses. Especially if you zone focus at all.
Now, I would think that having a firm little knob to grip would make finicky focusing easier. Just give it time.you're right -- for zone focusing they're absolutely brill! it's in the regular focusing that drives me nuts. the Epson patch is more finicky and difficult to see than the M8 and that tab just makes it more frustrating... for zone, though, i imagine it's king of the hill.
Doesn't that make EVERYTHING easier? :ROTFL:Now, I would think that having a firm little knob to grip would make it easier.
I don't know about easier, but I've heard that a little knob makes some people buy a BMW M5. :ROTFL:Doesn't that make EVERYTHING easier? :ROTFL:
Ahhhh! That would explain why I don't have one of those!:ROTFL:I don't know about easier, but I've heard that a little knob makes some people buy a BMW M5. :ROTFL:
Terry, LOL! i know my photography isn't your cup of tea normally, so i'm quite pleased you like these. the camera does indeed bring out another side and i'm enjoying exploring it all.Cam this is a whole new you!!!! I like them both but will say the first is just fabulous!!!! :clap::clap:
I was wondering when you were going to post! The computer geek is traveling without connectivity or processing power. What a great laugh!!!!!
Sorry the 28 turned out not so well for you. But it sounds like you had a fine time at Sean's.
thank you, Jono! and, yeah, it was the 50 Sonnar (because of you) that i had to try before i pulled out the CC for the Lux. it was pretty brutal and just didn't sit right with the Epson, IMO. the Noctilux, however, was luscious!!! not that i tried it at anything other than wide open :grin: even the Cron seemed too harsh... it just mated with my old Lux like it was made for it. dreamy and glowy but beautifully sharp. it may have to do with the contrast on the newer lenses which makes it harder to pull the detail in the shadows on the R-D1.HI Cam
Lovely photos! - I'm so glad you're enjoying it - it's a joy to behold and touch isn't it. (I still miss mine).
That guy makes me want a smoke!
Was it the Zeiss 50 sonnar you didn't like? I use mine a lot, but it can be a little brutal (lovely and dreamy at f1.5 though).
