The 30mm sigma is significantly sharper wide open than the Zuiko 28mm. Still the Zuiko is OK. You'll like it if you can find a copy at a decent price. What i am trying to say, i guess, is that if...

I have the OM Zuiko. I find it very, very good. It was cheap because it was bundle with several other lenses when I bought it. I you find one at a price you can afford, you will not be...

Great shots and nice first tries ! Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of an old Tom Paxton song, "Going to the zoo…" See the monkeys, scritch, scritching…

I have a f:4.5/300mm Makinon, in M42 mount. Big, heavy, and really cheap (got it for 10 euros !). I didn't expect much, but was pleasantly surprised at how it performs stopped down to 5.6 or 8. Not...

OK, OK, I agree with that. But you can also see the question the other way round. For the same price that buys a coolpix A,you can get a Nex 5n with the new 20mm lens (just barely bulkier) +  a few...

Thanks for sharing. Still, I am not that impressed. It doesn't look any better than my Nex 5n, from what I see. If I may, real life examples, like in a restaurant or a pub, or a little lit...

Thanks for these informations. Very interesting and very inspirational. Please do post pictures taken with your set up.And congratulations for your blog. Very good job …

No better !There is also a 2.5-3.3 / 35-70mm  that's supposed to be outstanding…

Just wondering.Did you take a look at the Nikon1 system - or are you just willing to keep going with the Nex?Nikon 1 seems to be just what you are looking for. Quick autofocus, great crop factor on...

Sorry if i expressed myself improperly : the flash setting has to be OFF, because, since the camera doesn't see there is a flash hooked to it, you cannot set it to ON, or FILL or whatever (these...

I have a WanSen hot shoe. It works perfectly on my Nex5N along with the 2 old flashes that i got. I have been using it with an old Sunpak auto 220 (probably 25 years old i think). It works...

The sigma 30mm is (at 30mm) roughly 2 stops faster than the kit lens (f 2.8 vs 4.5 at 30mm). Also, the 30mm is very good wide open. So you get a huge difference (at 30mm) both in iso and dof...

I have a Zuiko 3.5/135mm. Nice and light. OK even wide open. Kept it from my Olympus OM1 days. I guess you can find it for a few - € or $ or £.But you could also be interested by small zooms :I...

Feelin' groovy !

You mean, you took the front element of the industar 61 and replaced it with the rodenstock ?

Very nice shot, with a very unusual lens.Isn't that originally a lens for retina camera ? Just wondering what mount you had to convert to m39. Thanks for sharing.

It's an nice picture, but it is iso 50 - not exactly a low light shot.

Thanks - that's pretty much what i thought from what i've been seeing here and there. Once again, yours are beautiful pictures.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.Can you please give your personal opinion on using the 808, and how you feel the results are, not only on sunny days, but also on low light shots ? You see, i have a...

If I may…1 - Legacy lenses are fun when they are unexpensive. Expensive ones can be disappointing, especially wide open. I mean VERY disappointing, that is low contrast, strange colors and weak...
