Yes, your right Gary...But thats basically what I meant ;)

But there aren't many Sigma SA manual focus lenses!...Most are full time AF lenses, with a manual focus option. This often means the focus dials have to be turned a lot further than full time...

The Sigma SA mount can actually take a wider range of lenses than the Nikon mount. I use Canon lenses, Carl Zeiss lenses, Nikon lenses, Mamiya 645 lenses, Tamron lenses, Tokina lenses, MTO lenses,...

Not necessarily Sigma ones! Depends what you call a standard/normal lens on 1.5x crop...My Carl Zeiss 28mm f2.8 Distagon T* is about 48mm equivalent on my SD14, pretty close to a classic 50mm...

I think you will find your FX filter is simply the shadow/highlight tool in PS. ;)

Hi Lea, great subject matter but it looks a little dull and lifeless to me...I had a quick go on it with PS and after a couple of mins it looked far more colourful and interesting, artistic even,...

Yes.

Thanks Rick, glad you liked them. :)

Thanks for the glowing prasie Richard!...With references like that on my CV I would probably have a job by now. :)

The only thing that worried me was knowing that if I dug the cutting tool in too deep the lens might get damaged or possibly even fly out of the chuck!...So I took many shallow cuts, which took...

Thanks.

Thanks Norm.

Thanks Pete...I often find the crop format of the SD14 to be a severe handicap as more often than not its simply not wide enough to get the whole subject in with the particular lens I'm using at...

I did it with the lens intact...After I removed the FL mounting plate I covered it with a thick cloth rag held on with PVC tape. The rear element tube was covered in some thick paper cut from a...
