    FS: Contax 645 Zeiss T* Distagon 35mm lens and Kipon SHIFT adapter for GFX

    G'day, Would you be willing to sell this lens to someone in Melbourne? I'm not sure I need the adapter though, as I'm looking at the kipon 0.8x AF adapter. Cheers, Dan

    SOLD - Cambo WRS Schneider-Kreuznach Apo-Digitar 35mm XL in Copal 0 including Center Filter. Superb lens!

    This is such an amazing lens, I used to have it on my Alpa and nothing has ever come close.

    Voigtlander 21/1.4 VM, 75/1.5 VM. Loxia 21mm.

    Hi folks, Lightening the lens load since I'm aboard the Fujifilm GFX train. Both Voigltander lenses are like new. The Loxia I would class as excellent, with flawless glass but a couple of marks on the barrel (see pics) and one bright spot in an inconspicuous place on the side of the hood which...

    Nikkor Z Mount Lenses

    On the topic of focus motors, they have gone with linear stepper motors. These are not in the same ball park as USM/SSM when it comes to speed/silence.

    Leica 50mm ASPH Summilux vs. Zeiss 50mm f/1.5 Sonnar

    The Sonnar is a hugely flawed character lens. The 50 Asph is a very well corrected lens. If you're after the Sonnar 'look' which is typically more painterly out of focus areas and a general softness then it's great, otherwise the Asph beats it in every concievable way except size. The Sonnar...

    KIPON AF adapters for Contax 645 lens on Sony E/FE mount

    One of those adapters has a focal reducer (aka speed booster) which is very interesting!

    Tech cam shoulder bag

    Hi Frank, I shot with my Alpa STC, 35XL, 50mm and 110mm living in an ONA Leather Brixton for a year or so and I think I have Scoliosis as a result. Is there a particular reason you don't want to consider a backpack? Or a (much less fashionable) hip pack? If you are set on a shoulder bag then...

    Any suggestions on good adapter for M lenses to E mount

    I also use the Hawk's adapter. Especially useful if using PCX filters per my reply to Victor below. Absolutely agree. The sensor coverglass stack is more than double the thickness resulting in smeared corners for all but the most telecentric lenses. The way around this is to mount a specific...

    xpan lenses on x1d

    Will probably need a front PCX filter and infinity adjustment similarly to Leica M and Contax G lenses in front of Sony sensors for optimum performance.

    Help Understand What I'm Seeing - IQ3100 & a7rii Star Photos

    Hi Craig, I tested every firmware which offers uncompressed RAW and they all have spatial filtering (star eater). For some reason everyone thinks it was introduced in 3.30 but it was there since 2.0!

    It's that time of the year again

    I gave up the Alpa and P45 for an A7RII. I miss the deliberate nature of the Alpa, and the SNR of the P45's bigger chip. The convenience and compactness of the A7RII is a boon though.

    A7*2 Resolution Drop with >3.2s Exposure

    Unfortunately that isn't how smooth reflection nor stacking works. You still need a reasonable luminance in all your subs, lots of dark images don't magically make a bright image. If you want to expose the galactic core for example, you need a long enough exposure for every sub that the...
