Nice ducks and hummer shots!
I've had my feeder up for 2 weeks, and still no sign of the little buzzers.

I received my Nikon -> Q adapter and did some test shots with the (notoriously sharp & cheap) Nikon 50mm f1.8 AF-D:

I did some test shots on static objects (simultaneously flaunting my wealth):

I think it looks quite nice, now onto some more animate objects...

Nick Siebers · 04-28-2013, 08:00 PM

Handheld, through a dirty window - not bad. Proof of the concept, anyway.

This Pentax 110 24mm f/2.8 is a little softish, but I like it. Can't wait to try on people.

Shot indoors no flash ISO 320 from a tripod mounted about 20 ft away 2 second timer.
I tried hand held but no luck. Maybe some of you a little younger and steadier can manage because the lens is very light.
1st shot is using the 01 prime as reference
2) 50mm
3) 80mm
4)135mm
5) 200mm

Sdyor · 04-29-2013, 04:24 PM

I should have mentioned in last post - using a Fotodiox adapter same subject, same as above shots with DAL 50-200. I stopped down to F8. There was some minor PF on the stem to the left which I removed with Photoshop.

**crewl1** · 04-29-2013, 04:44 PM

Thanks Sdyor, Graus, Nick, Amy et all. Indexes updated.

**Lowell Goudge** · 05-07-2013, 04:49 AM

worst subject to shoot with any vintage lens, black bird against the sky

shot at 210mm, but with FL set to 150 in the Q because I find that the SR (at least for me) is over reactive

Resized to 30% of original in PSP for uploading

**Lowell Goudge** · 05-07-2013, 04:52 AM

i have been working quite a bit with this lens as i find the focal length still hand holdable.

**crewl1** · 05-08-2013, 03:11 PM

Just able to get back on a normal PC. Good contributions everyone.

Hans, thanks very much for maintaining the index !

Nick Siebers · 05-10-2013, 05:05 PM

A couple of shots, hand held.
