You got a damn fine lens. I hope you got a 6x7 too to let it really shine!

If Sandy could single with the GRiii could I try a month with the Ricoh CX3 that just arrived? I'm interested to know if I can live with a few year old point and shoot and see what I can get it to do.
It is just one lens so why not

It is a fine lens, I just looked at the month ahead and my timetable looked not very 400mm friendly, so I backed off a little. I have 5 6x7 cameras and lenses from fish eye to the 600mm f4. One day I will get the 800mm, but I will need to save for a porter to carry my gear......
The SIC doesn't really work with film, but one month I plan to try

Looking forward to seeing what you get with the 24-70

If you can live with a Theta the CX3 should be a breeze

Dont ask me numbers but I feel our set is almost similar. In this group I am only missing the 400mm Star lens and the 600mm Star lens. So If you feel like singling the 6x7 with a certain lens, I might match up. Shoot me a message before then

Wait, is it October already?! I'm undecided of yet but I'll be sure to pick something later today... Perhaps something WR as we enter the rainy months (though Wales is renowned for being damp year round)...
I've inadvertently abandoned the WR capabilities and instead opted for the SMC-M 135mm f/3.5. I'm apparently a couple of steps behind the crowd as a few have used this over the last couple of months. I won't be able to hold a light to some of the pictures they've generated but I'm interested in seeing what I can do with it, or how my vision changes with respect to subjects.

As I have just finished my month with this lens, I'm very curious of the results of others using it. I have the feeling that I haven't used it to its full capabilities. So... I'm watching you!

September past over very fast. Or maybe its life?
I still need my shot for today and to catch up with commenting for past two days.

It did indeed, too quickly for my liking. I've far too much catching up to do with respect to commenting... I need to find a better method of processing photos, uploading them, posting them, commenting on others...

That's what stops me from joining Daily-In challenge - I'm afraid I won't keep the pace with both challenges

Let's see 35 45 55 75 90L/S 105 120 135 150 165 165LS 200 300 M400 500 600 1.4x 2x T6-2x
Missing a few expensive ones still, the 75 2.8 and 100mm macro are on my radar, the longer telephotos on my I wish list . Shift and zoom lenses only if I find them at a fairly cheap price
I was lucky enough to pick them up during the move to digital by many professionals, still love the look of pics from the 105

Great collection, I had never considered adapted lenses , a new path to explore for me, Now I need to ask, is the 75 2.8 really a big step up from the others or just folklore?
With the 600mm it took me ages to find the outer macro tubes, however I finally did and they make the 600 much more usable up close,
I also needed the short one to mount the bellows on the 67II

I can see a single in with one of these ahead............

Hey, it's October. Don't live in the past. Don't take pressure from last months comments. There's work enough to keep up with current month.

And I'll be watching too. I had a great August with M135. Excellent 3D rendering it has

Well in honour of the 100 year anniversary and the need to get 100 posts I have changed lenses and gone for the 60-250 DA as it doesn't have a 100 anywhere in the lens title
You make it sound like M100/4 was a good choise for the month.

Ismo, you are right, 100 is a great choice for this month, I cant believe I never thought about it before! I will try and move the zoom to the 100mm mark rather than the 250mm end more often
