What have you just BOUGHT?

210 f6.6 Kern Arau Apo-Repro on Makiflex Standard.

210 f6.6 Kern Arau Apo-Repro on Makiflex Standard.

Here's an interesting one. Years ago I bought this Kern-Arau 210mm f6.6 Apo-Repro lens, and mounted it to a Sinar Norma board. Decided to re-mount it to a Plaubel Peco Jr board, as it will get more use on my Makiflexes. Quite a bit of metal cutting was required to build this unit. The 210mm f6.6 Kern-Arau is quite rare, and I'm really glad that I have it. Here it is, with the Makiflex Standard focused at infinity.

Last month I upgraded my old EOS 450D to a brand new 6D. While I usually favour primes over zooms, I kept a Sigma 70-300 handy for occasions like spying on neighbours or the odd super moon shot.

But that one's really doing me no favours on the 6D, so I figured I'd upgrade. After a month of reading reviews, weighing pros and cons, I settled on the affordable Canon 70-200 F4L lens, non IS version.

Since it's only an occasional use lens, I didn't want to go full out with the expenses. It does what I need during the daytime and while F4 isn't the fastest, combined with the good low light performance of the 6D and the fact that I'm not afraid to use a tripod… it'll be sufficient. It's one heck of a bargain in regards to the build quality and sharpness of the glass.

I'm expecting delivery tomorrow.
