Tamron CCTV 16/1.4 on the genuine Q

Great light!

I'm a bit late to the Q party but for reasons I won't bore you with have recently ended-up with a Q, a Q-S1, and 01, 2 x 02, 03 and 07 lenses. My usual camera/lens/film testing subject is the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Tavistock Square, London. I shot a few images yesterday using the Q-S1 and some of the lenses. Here are the results.

Welcome to the Q party, Kris! Nice images, I like the picture of the base of the statue.

As for the shield lens, I don't own one but some are using it to great effect. If you don't like that the fixed focus is too close, forum member 2old4toys has a thread for modification so you can achieve infinity focus!

Awesome sky (and cows)!

Hmm nice, would you consider cross-posting to the adapted lens reference thread? There are two posts about the same lens (?) but your pictures are a great demonstration of close-up ability of this lens.

This was taken with Q7 and Borg 55FL. Clarity of the air was OK but the turbulence or something was bad, I took a bunch of shots on a tripod only to find that I didn't have any that was good across the frame. Each has sharp area and blurred area but fortunately these were different from picture to picture. I let photoshop "focus stack" 7 shots so it picks the sharpest parts and stitch them together, and I'm kind of satisfied with the result.

Did you use the 06 for this?

Yes 06 at the 15mm setting.

I love this, what a great idea. I think it turned out really well.

I am new to the Q party too with a Q10 and 02 and 06. Unfortunately, my Q10 has the problem many other Q's have had where it will refuse to turn on after a while until you do some rituals to get it back going again (in my case, let it sit for a day, take the battery out and fully charge it, then try again.) I'm learning to get around it but still not a lot of fun.

Anyway, the plan is for it just to be for fun anyway, so I 3D printed a k-mount adapter and did some macro. I want to do some of the vintage lenses a lot of the users here have done, just keeping my eye out on local deals to see when I can snag some cinema lenses for cheap.

Fun stuff.

Great start with the Q. It's a fun system to use. Printing a Q-PK adapter is impressive. Do you have any other gizmos in mind to print?
Thanks,

Thanks Snapppy. You have some interesting stuff on that bench!

Baling.

We were digging archaeological test pits as a training exercise for Young Archaeologist's Club members. Unfortunately, we had heavy rain overnight! Q-S1 with the 01 prime.

More adapters as I get a hold of some vintage lenses that are famous to adapt to this camera. I don't think they take the place of a string metal adapters you can buy (and inexpensively, I might add) but it's just a fun hobby, and I guess it does save me a little money. Haven't thought of anything else to print for it.

Thanks Snapppy. You have some interesting stuff on that bench!

Haha, yes, although my wife uses a different term than "interesting" to describe my mess and it seems to stay messy no matter how many times I clean it...

To be honest, she is very supportive of my little camera adventures, just encourages me to keep my "creativity" tidy. Which, helps me in the end, because I can find things.

The big drawer is my answer. Or two. Or three. In fact 4 works to some extent (until now).

Just picked up a used Q7 off fleeceBay. Dew covered dogwood berries and a roadside money pig.
