What have you just BOUGHT?

[kidblooze]

Wow - I have the same camera, meter and lens! I love mine, I suspect you will love your's too (cause it's a very lovable camera!)

Excellent! I'm looking forward to this combo for the Spring and Summer ahead...lot's of wintertime blue light these days

I bought a Fujifilm XF10 camera yesterday.

I got the black one, the champagne gold with brown skin was a bit much for me to handle.

The way I justified this unnecessary purchase was:

b) I bought it for my wife to use.
c) It fits in my pocket!


All the best,
Mike

You can fit both your wife and her camera inside your pocket?

Just ordered a Canon 5DS for work/less personal work. I am really excited to pickup a macro lens and do some film scanning with it. I can't image Portra 400 or Tri-x in 35mm actually has 50MP worth of detail but we shall see!

Carl Zeiss 135mm f/1.8 Sonnar ZA, plus a Sony LA-EA4 adapter.

After three years of ownership my A7ii finally gets an autofocus lens with which to play.

I am so glad I stumbled upon a review of this lens. What a wonderful hunk of glass. Beautiful results unlike any Nikon lens I have ever shot with. Just a beauty.

The 105/2.5 is indeed a legendary lens.

Is your lens indexed correctly with the head (via the aperture ring twist-twist ritual)? The head's indicator in the photo shows a setting closer to f/1.2 than f/2.8

I just placed it on the camera for a photo op, without the twist lol

If a couple of weeks ago counts as “just,” I just bought another crazy 7Artisans M-mount lens, the 75mm f/1.25. Results so far in my limited shooting are ambiguous... need to find a patient model who will sit in front of it while I experiment with cameras and settings.

I did just post a somewhat discursive video about it: https://youtu.be/7VM_eZwBApg

A hard plastic case for my stuff from Harbor Freight- had a 25% off coupon. ( if you check their wedsite it's on there)

Near perfect condition FM with the best zoom lens Nikon ever made - the 43-86.
Actually this is the second, improved version (you can tell because the text is on the outside of the lens ring) which is meant to be decent.
Found this at a Goodwill.

No, man, you can't do that. You gotta build that auto reflex muscle memory. 12 times an hour, 24 times a day, 365 days a year - for a decade. Like an elite soldier, performance follows practice. Don't skip the twist ritual - not doing it has gotten photographers killed.

That is nice! An excellent walkabout kit.

A couple months ago, I AI'd my second one of these, but I lost the little nubbin with 2 screw holes that transfers the f-stop setting from the ring to the aperture mechanism! I'm gonna get an AI version next. I hope that doesn't make it lose its MAGIC! Heres pics from the last roll before I broke it:

I just bought a Laowa 15mm f/4 1:1 macro lens with a plain Nikon F mount. It doesn't do any kind of electronic or mechanical communication with the camera, it just focuses light. One thing that has always bothered me about wide angle lenses is that they don't focus close enough - I have screw in close up lenses and extension tubes, but they never seem to be in my pocket when I'm shooting. With this lens I can focus as close as I want, all the way down to 1:1. That's about half an inch from the front element though, so you need to be VERY creative to get light to your subject. Half life size (1:2) though is about 5 inches away, so you can get real close without any specialized lighting equipment.

Here's a toy admiring the Christmas tree it's under, shot with this lens a couple inches from Thomas's face:

Nice.

I bought one about a month ago. Ultra-wide macro is great, and when you add the shift function (and despite what Laowa say, it does work pretty well on full frame as long as you remove the hood) you have quite a unique combination.

Nice. I like the never ready cases as I just toss the top half and use it as a half case which protects the camera, and does not effect its readiness.
Way waaaay cheaper than buying a specially made half case. And fits better.

Just bought a new Leica M246 Monochrome for $1600. That was a weird Black Friday deal.

You've got to explain that one.
