Hmmm, never noticed before how much Flickr sharpens images. That shot had a nice softness to it, but it's gone in the Flickr hosted version.

Received my copy. The QC sticker is a nice touch! :)

Amazingly, it is delivered with two caps! :thumbs:

Hmm. I should get another one of these lenses in Sony E-mount, I think. I like using the A7 to shoot with oddball things like zone plates, pinholes, etc.

Ah me, always another toy (lens) to acquire. ;-)

Not long at all Cam, this is the finished image after processing it first in C1 then over to PS-CC and Nik. I forgot to add that this was taken with my A7r converted to full spectrum...

Okay, I got one for the Sony A7 too. Thought some might like to see this ... Jack's modification is necessary for full frame.


Fun fun fun...

G and everyone, there are two more discs that can be removed plus the rear baffle for a good measure, resulting in a lens faster than f/4.

Hmm? I see the aperture disc, looks like a bit of work to remove it. Also the baffle. But f/8 is fine, or maybe f/5.6 with the baffle out. I'll play with it like this for a while. It is, after all, a $15 toy to play with. ;-)

It is not the speed enhancement or even the vignetting but the color shifts that is mitigated to a great extent (especially on the A7r) after the removal of the two plastic "discs". Will post a photo soon.

If you can can you post which ones to take out (if you have images of them) as well? I don't have the lens yet but I'm kinda curious now.
