As long as the viewer is compelled by looking at a photo to create a story in their mind the photo has done it's job and it needs no caption. A photo tied to an actual event that most know about...

Bump, anyone?

Because there's a tab on the Elmar 50's focus mechanism that has to be depressed to lock it into infinity. If the flange on the adapter is in the way you have to file it down in that spot to allow...

Thanks, so there's plenty of room for the Elmar 50's infinity tab to clear the flange on newer adapters?

Not only are they light and small, they are virtually...

I inherited some gear recently, and in the box was a Leica Elmar red scale 50mm f/3.5 and Elmar 90mm 3.5 in LTM mount. Would it be better to get a Leica Screw Mount to Leica M Mount adapter along...

I've inherited a few boxes of old camera and film gear including a Fujica kit with the following lenses all in M42 mount and in excellent condition: EBC Fujinon 19mm f/3.5 EBC Fujinon 28mm...

Seems to me anyone who takes the position that the 35/1.4G lens is somehow crap and demands that others prove them wrong is the one who is actually measurbating. I personally would kill to have...

This isn't focused at you specifically EinsteinsGhost, just responding to yours since you were the latest to mention it... I still don't get the animosity toward focus by wire. I understand it,...

I have the 5R and EVF, and the EVF "case" is just a piece of plastic that slips over the contacts. You would have to buy a small aftermarket case for it that fits on a strap. That said, I don't use...

There is a pretty active printers and printing forum on this site that is not camera brand specific. While waiting for answers from Sony users you may want to cross post to that forum as well.

My new theory is Makinon who unlike the others made their own lenses. All the Vivitars and the Tokina are all 6 blade apertures where mine is 8 blade which is kind of impressive on a 24mm lens. The...

Fully agree. (I'm talking effective FLs here) There was a reason to the madness back in the day, and 85mm made sense in a way 75mm didn't and hence the scarcity of legacy primes between 58mm and...

I'm a proud NEX-5R owner, and I would absolutely say GTFO if a photographer showed up to my wedding with a NEX. NEX's are awesome cameras but in the end nothing more than a tool, and I don't care...

There's a pretty big difference between 50mm and 60mm on a crop sensor body like the NEX. 50mm is an almost but not quite long enough make-do portrait length where 60mm is a just right portrait...

I rather like focus by wire when used in conjunction with DMF, especially the fact that when you turn the focus ring it automatically turns on MF assist, and I'm guessing it's the focus by wire...

Famous last words. Looks like you're getting irritated with all the judgmental comments toward you doing this. That's good. Hopefully you'll channel it properly because it's good advice whether you...

Agreed. All things equal, I would take an OSS f/1.8 lens over a non-stabilized f/1.4 lens any day of the week. There isn't much difference in DoF between 1.4 and 1.8, but the ability to confidently...

I personally like the sleek look of the lens. What bugs me though is that silly marketing name "Touit" sitting proudly right there on the top, front and center. What's next, a line of lenses called...
