+1 to that. Single lens; as many or as few cameras as you feel like

It has arrived and has been shot for today's thread

Thank you very much. It looks good and feels good in hand. I can't wait to chop something in kitchen.

My lens of the month, the DA*55, may need a little adjustment. When AF drives it to infinity, I cannot focus manually - neither by switching to MF (lens and/or camera) not by manual override. Workaround is to first have the AF drive it closer. MF still feels a little stiff ...
But I'll first finish the month. What do you think about switching cameras mid-month? So far, I've only used it on the KP, considering the K-1 for 2nd half. Or should I rather do a separate SIC? Same lens, but it will be different for sure ...

I'm forever swapping cameras. I've used the K1, KP and Fujifilm X-T20 so far this month with the M 100/4 macro. I think you need to try different options to really get to know the lens.

Another very busy day so I unwillingly skip it ... There was a very nice sky with pleasant clouds - perfect for the polarizer. No time, though. Hopefully tomorrow.

Well, I have finished with the old leica for now, so, no distractions, and, armed with catch in focus (thanks to the patience of mini monster) its macro time. I have had the Takumar 100mm f4 on my KP and on my K3, I haven't done the Fuji thing yet though, and, now I have cif, I probably won't

There's an other raffle starting today. 7 posts a day. Grand price is one of the new HD limiteds. Gotta keep on posting

7 posts a day? it's hard to come up with that much quality. This is also a time when posting in groups is a detriment, it seems like Group posts do not count towards the 7 daily requirement.

No, group posts don't count. Unfortunally. But these conversation thread posts certainly do

Well timed question, as I need one more post today

My life with zoom has been much more pleasurable than the last time. I gave up tracking the focal lengths and just set something and shoot with it. I have mostly shot so fast that SR won't be needed anyway. Also I've been happy to work with M series rendering again. There's something that pleases my eye, but I can't really point what it is. So all in all a month with M40-80 has been better than I expected or feared.

**Cerebum** · 06-15-2021, 05:01 AM

So, posts in this thread count? Brilliant
