Ever see the movie "Boxing Helena?" I had the same thought.

Nice set. I think the last three would work especially well as a trilogy. Then they could be larger, too.

However, this is the best coffee cup image in this thread.

Thank you Blue,
and agreed on the best one!

I was trying to do something similar at the coffee shop and my wife was gladly posing... 15mins and not a single keeper

Okay, I'm really warming up to my 43mm again; I was having a helluva time trying to get AF to perform spot on and it was only after that debug adjustment that I think I've found my happy place; and to think I was *this* close to just selling it out of pure frustration! Now I'm really going to have to think about what to sell off to help slim down a bit...

How do you do AF adjustment for FA43?

legacyb4 · 04-25-2010, 09:48 PM

Sorry, wasn't the FA43 that was adjusted, but my K20D (see link):

Well I finally managed to join this club a little while ago

I bought the 31mm around Easter but didn't have a chance to go out with it until yesterday.

This is made from 3 shots x 3 exposures, all taken without a tripod so I spent quite a while on the computer matching parts up

It's the first time I tried a "strong" HDR effect as well - what do you think, too much?

axl · 04-26-2010, 01:28 AM

beautifull shot!

gtl · 04-26-2010, 01:42 AM

DaniRo · 04-26-2010, 04:07 AM

I'd be more than happy to take that FA 85mm off of your hands!
