Holga 25mm?

[mh2000]

REally enjoyed your set Jonas! The some with the distant figures were really good and emotionally existential.

Really interesting stuff. Makes me want to start shooting with my Holga again.

Just remembered that I have a ton of those Holga lens shots in LR. Of course, that was before my last hard drive debacle. Wow, where to look?

Thanks for the comments. I ought to go update that Flickr set with more recent ones...

My Olympus EPL3 usually has that lens on it in my bag.

As always, I like the way you see and shoot things and places!

 

[mh2000]

Thanks petronius! Likewise! 🙂

Good stuff, mark.

Did another batch of pinhole stuff with the E-PL1 yesterday, will post a couple soon. Last for a bit as I'm switching to the M9 for a few weeks, going on vacation ...

Thanks Godfrey! I appreciate the compliment!

Can't wait to see your new pinhole stuff! Let us know where you post it.

Have a good trip!

Best!

Mark- enjoyed seeing your work/i appreciate your eye.... daniel.

Thanks Daniel! Glad you stopped by to look! 🙂

Mark, I love that first shot on the page you linked to. Very Eggleston like.

Petronius, love your work as well.

Gives me the insane idea of buying a micro 4/3 just to use with a $25 lens but I think I'll stick with the film holga's I already have.

Out of curiosity, many of the shots posted are not square. Is the image circle on these good enough to cover the entire micro 4/3 film plane or are you cropping from what is essentially a square?

Keep 'em coming.

 

[mh2000]

Certainly they are "good enough!!!" 🙂

Thanks!!!

Godfrey was on a while back saying he only has m43 for shooting funky lenses on.

An EPM1 at $299 is tempting...

Not only, but mostly... Yes.

I promised you a new set of pinhole shots up above. Didn't have time to finish them yet (I'm traveling in the UK at present), but here's a 'proof sheet'...

fun eerie stuff Godfrey! 🙂

Thinking this might be a nice lens to shoot in Venice for a impressionistic effect.

Just saw the John Singer Sargent watercolor show at Brooklyn Museum and was thinking about that sort of rendering as applied to photography.
