Game Single In April 2021

**robgski** · 04-08-2021, 01:58 AM

I'll need to break out my TakBay 135mm soon.

I have been using the FA 77mm every day, but been to busy to DL, post or comment.

I'm working offshore until the middle of next week, so I'll be AWOL until then. There should be internet access so I'll be able to keep up with everyone's pictures.

The A* 135/1.8 arrived at my office today (nearly a month after it was sent), and I have just gone in to pick it up. It looks mint

So if it's OK with everyone, I'll be going back to plan A. The K 135/2.5 has been a worthy substitute in its stead, but I must confess I won't miss having to use the green button for metering

Congrats on that! Looking forward to the photos.

I've had to work this weekend, so I haven't had time to edit and upload stuff (and skipped shooting on Saturday altogether, oops...). I'll try to get back on track throughout the week...

Bring on the A. The little I've seen from the lens it's supposed to be fabulous.

Welp, there goes a week. One co-worker (not in direct contact with me, but still) has tested positive so we're all quarantining this week. I'll try to get some more product shots, I guess...

Made it to the overlook just before sunset. The FA 77mm is a good landscape lens in the right situation.

I’ve taken photos most days, uploaded to Flickr but stopped there. Hopefully I’ll find a little bit of time to do some posting and commenting soon.

April thread hasn't been very active. So far, as it's about to chance with DFA*50 giweaway raffle entry postings starting tomorrow. You may consider this message as a warning, as I do need those 6 posts a day

**pepperberry farm** · 04-15-2021, 06:53 AM

today being the midpoint, I was going to ask how everyone is faring with their lens of choice....

I'm out of quarantine today, so I will restart tomorrow... so far, the 43 is a very interesting lens.

Been working out of town all week, long days. Too tired for photos most days (just enough time to squeeze in some breath of the wild though). Getting back into it this weekend. Stoked to see some shots with that 135 1.8!

I love mine.
The Super-Takumar is MADE for black and white photos. Beautiful rendering.

The GR iii is just a brilliant little camera. I can't believe how good the shots are turning out to be.
