Anyone have any updates on the nifty is it on the move again and stuck in customs somewhere?

EricT · 08-02-2010, 10:40 AM

I just received the lens from devisor. It's a beautiful little lens

Hopefully I'll get some decent shots taken during this week and then pass it on. Looks like Viliam from Sweden is next in line, if not one of the people from Finland?

devisor · 08-03-2010, 03:28 AM

happy you got it in time

I'm insanly bussy and missed the post office with some days :S

Since I didn't understand this list to be a democratic thing you can put yourself on, I asked if I could be added to it a few pages back. So I guess I should just go ahead and do it now

My own A50/1.7 will be excited to meet a sister for the very first time!

Due to this display of enthusiasm, I've just sent the lens to ovim

It would be great if someone could send me the account details for the Flickr account so I can upload my pictures there. I'll post them here in a short while.

EricT · 08-09-2010, 09:49 AM

Ok, so here are my shots. Since devisor documented the beautiful women we have in Norway, I tried to capture some of the beautiful nature

I struggled a bit with the 50mm focal length, so this is actually 4 shots stitched together, a typical mountain landscape:

Full resolution here.

The red building in the distance is part of a mountain pasture that was active until about 40 years ago. Now it's rented out as a cabin. Here it is from a different angle (HDR with three exposures):

Full resolution here.

I also tried some close-ups. This is an almost-ripe cloudberry. We use the berries in jams and in desserts.

Full resolution here.

And here's what we call "swampwool", which I believe is called cottongrass in English.

Full resolution here.

Hope you like the pictures, it was a pleasure shooting with the lens and I look forward to following the rest of its journey!

**rparmar** · 08-09-2010, 11:52 AM

Nice to see. Thanks for posting.

gokenin · 08-09-2010, 11:54 AM

Very nice shots Eric I liked the HDR picture usually not a fan of them but that was is good. I sent you and Ovim the info about the flickr accounts if you wanted to post there as well.
