Originally posted by erwinsie hi all. i have the photodiax adapter with lock<->open slider and just played around with DA10-17 fish eye and M-50mm 1.7.
both looks "ok", here i give one with the fish eye (at 17mm, handheld at room lighting, iso 400) but there are couples questions i want to ask:
1. on the adapter i have to keep the slider to "open" is that correct? if i move slightly to the lock direction the picture will be darker.
2. has anyone dare to bring Q and only pk lens (or lenses) for travelling/holiday? or too risky and better put the original Q lense (i only have the number 1 lens)?
if so please recommend which one i have to bring:
M-50mm 1.7
DAL 18-55mm kit
DA 18-250mm
DA 10-17mm
Sigma 17-70mm 2.8-4.5
thanks
1) the slider is to control the aperture, darker means closed. Normally you mount open and then you might close just a little bit to get more depth of field. Closing a lot (going to lock) will probably ruin the pictures on the Q, however I guess we are just waiting till someone uses this creatively to create better art then others.
2) It will be easier to work with the 01, seeing what it can do, I would take it. It depends what you want to do, for the others:
10-17 is still OK for walk around, covering the normal range in 35mm FOV equivalent.
Above 17 you will be in telephoto, so the subjects and the technique changes, you will need to keep your camera more still and go for small subjects on larger distance.
