One Lens Challenge: Want to join my LBA Therapy?

Blue · 08-30-2010, 02:09 PM

For this event, I'm going to use a Auto Takumar 55mm/1.8 Zebra. In fact, I'm contemplating actually shooting with a Pentax Asahi K but don't want to develop a roll of film every day. Perhaps, I'll put one Zebra on my K and another on my K200d.

Edit: Album created!

I think I will switch to my SMC-M 50 1.4 for the challenge.

icywarm · 08-30-2010, 09:34 PM

Ok people are doing my lens... quick switch to 3M-5A-MC 500mm... there hows that for rare, odd, lens that there is nothing in the internet about...

patolds · 08-31-2010, 03:12 AM

Bloody Aussies...OK I'm in!

Been pondering this for 2 weeks or so..which lense..a shot every day for 30 days!!

Ah well, it's spring in Vic now, and I suppose...what the hell....it's a challenge that may unlock what you illuded to.

So I'll go with the Sigma 28-80 Macro zoom...why??...well years using Pentax primes on film ......ah bugger it, because I feel like it!

Cheers.

Okay...EEK ---->

I'm goin' in!
Using my 18-55mm kit lens with assorted accoutrement of filters. Should be interesting....

jaieger · 08-31-2010, 04:20 PM

I might as well give this a try too...With the M50/1.7 that I'm just about to go out to buy today!

shame that I'm buying it with the M200/4, I really would like to try that one out...

VaughnA · 08-31-2010, 05:36 PM

I'm in. But since I have a limited lens selection I have a limited choice. I do a nice spread between my 10-20,16-45 and 55-300. The only other lens is the A50-F2 that came with my freebie K1000. Since I have to post one a day instead of waiting until the end of the month I'll throw the 50 F2 on my K-x and see what happens instead of using the K1000. Why not see what I can do with the 70's entry level lens on the 2010 entry level camera. I just wish it was a bit wider so I'd have a 'normal' lens.

That's a lot of pics of lenses, so far?

Funny...I have an urge to go out and blast off as many shots as I can tonight with all my lenses before midnight!

**jheu02** · 08-31-2010, 08:08 PM

Well, I couldn't wait til tomorrow as there was a cool mushroom that sprouted in our yard, and I didn't know how long it would last. There was another one also yesterday, but I hit it with the mower and it released a huge cloud of spores. Shrooms were about 4-5" across. This morning it was completely off-white and looking like a brain, but by around 2:30 it when I took this shot, it had already started off-sporing or whatever that phase is called. By 6 pm it was completely dark brown and when I hit it with the hose it completely imploaded into brown mush. So, since these don't count, I thought I'd give a preview:

SMC-K 1:2.5 135mm @ F8, 1/125", ISO 100, C-PL (2nd pic a 100% crop) taken just shy of min-focus distance.

yeatzee · 08-31-2010, 08:18 PM

still set on the F 135mm F/2.8.....

but quick question before we start. Can I reverse other lenses on my chosen lens???

axl · 08-31-2010, 11:04 PM

Looks like we are starting guys. Good luck to everybody! And I hope we won't hate our chosen lenses by the end of it

axl · 09-01-2010, 12:04 AM

**jackassp** · 09-01-2010, 02:55 AM

Cheers, John

patolds · 09-01-2010, 03:31 AM

Miserable day down here in Mexico (read Victoria)!

Good luck to everyone taking part...hope we last the distance.

Cheers
