One more from the testing of the Loawa 17mm and GFX 100.

Not only was I testing the lens I was testing a custom black and white setting on the GFX100. Shot at f/8 1/160 ISO 50 processed in C1



I'll be keeping this lens :ROTFL:

I've decided I might try my hand at some stitched panoramas - the files get to be a tad large

This is a sort-of 'fun with' post. I needed to do some close up shots of a Monopoly board and per usual I started out with the X-T3 and the superb XF80/2.8 macro.

This is the result of focus stacking 25 captures using the X-T3/XF80.


I personally think the XF80 is the best macro lens I have ever owned (and I've had a lot of them over the years). I am 100% confident in using it for product, object and even portrait work.

But then I had a thought.

Hmmm. I wonder what it would look like using the GFX50R and the Laowa 17mm UWA. It focuses down to a ridiculously close distance (18cms) and that includes the 15cms between the front element and the sensor!

This is 20 captures, cropped to 6x7 (about 80% of the frame).


I know which one I think I am going to use! I can't wait for the summer and bugs and bees on plants. If I can conquer the manual focus I think I will get some wild macro shots.

BTW, this is what the set up looked like and you can see how close I am to the board. Not all the lighting I used is turned on in the photograph.

Fun with, AND behind the scenes! :thumbs:

The rainbow trout were on their annual spring spawning run in Fall Creek, but they were not buying whatever these anglers were offering. Fuji 50R with 50/3.5

X-H1 and 10-24 @24mm. Sometimes I think even this is too much resolution.

OK so this is the obligatory cat photo...whippets are after all the cats of the dog world :D

One of our local camera chains is showing every sign of turning up its toes and had a very compelling deal on the 90 Fujicron. It's a big lump.

Low light, high ISO. This bloke was eating his carrot which is his dessert and he's inordinately fond of carrots.
