Adapted lenses tested on the Q : the reference thread

**GUB** · 09-24-2014, 06:40 PM

This is a heavy lens and combined with the 200mm focal length I chose to use a loosened off tripod and standard shutter so as to retain SR. A frustrating but rewarding technique on the manic birdlife having the first nectar feeds of spring.
And each flower the Kereru (NZ Wood Pidgeon) eats is one less coes golden drop plum for me! The lens was a modest performer. Most images at f8 , the waxeye at 5.6. Saved as jpg, pped in gimp.

Elgeet cine 7mm f/1.9 d-mount. Len fully cover pentax Q on 16:9 mode and video mode, and mild vignette on 4:3 mode. Very sharp len and good colour contrast.

Sample image at f/1.9

LBA is fun ^_~.

Pentax Q + Kodak Projection Zoom 15-25mm @ f/1.5 . Ridiculous resolving power. Low light night shot

Again with the 110 20-40 Zoom with the front element removed.

this lens also had the "ring binder aperture" coloured black and stuck to the rear element stopping it down a little bit.

Subject is just a remote metal cable release

With Colour
Sans Colour

I like the silver looking one best. Hardly makes it more then a technical exercise mind you :P
