What I can easily notice here is how this was digitally altered. Look closely at the light spill. It's a blurred copy of the image, down to the girls head, shifted heavily down and slightly to the ...

Technically, the removal is not destructive, but you'll have to go trough lens disassembly process to put it back again. One has to beware: there are two mechanically different versions of 7A 7.5 ...

I have some experience shooting through mist filters and glowy lens, and I'm pretty sure these are digital alterations. Gear involved is therefore irrelevant. First image is just too small to ...

While I agree with you on pretty much everything you've said, I think you are wrong about the price. I've witnessed a number of 18-20mm lenses to be sold on eBay under $100. Here are some full res ...

Yep, I've mentioned the need to dismount the hood. I had to make my own DIY front in order to fit a custom protective cap too. For sure. I've noticed there isnt a reference "fisheye" projection, ...

I have Pen-F 38/1.8 and 40/1.4. Both are excellent on APS-C sensor. https://www.flickr.com/photos/curry-hexagon/albums/72157709094159071 https://www.flickr.com/photos/curry-hexagon/albums/721577161 ...

Speaking from memory, I was cautiously conservative. Looking at the past shots, it does fully cover FF with a steep falloff at all focus distances if stopped down to F8. Nevertheless, I think it's ...

Olympus Pen-F 38/1.8 fully covers FF up to a meter or two. 7Artisans 7.5/2.8 fisheye does not deserve a green flair. One has to get rid of the built-in hood before using it on FF and the very ...

I found my ball sitting squarely in the middle of the room... three months and many wet and dry cleanings later. My best sane idea on how this came to be is: the ball got stuck to the sole of a ...

The part missing is the small ball bearing sitting on top of the spring. It is customary for said bearing to do a rocket jump once the aperture ring is removed. Some lenses wont spit it out (like ...

The answer mostly boils down to "no", I think. To get an aperture ring coupled equidistant replacement is highly improbable. Sometimes there are exceptions when prior or subsequent models have ...

Canon FDn 50mm F1.2 (non-L) is at lightweight 314g. My favourite APS-C pancake Meike 28mm F2.8 tips the scale at 121g. PEN-F series are lightweight APS-C lenses for what they are, though not quite ...

My chances of meeting NY with no raw debt are not looking good. September:

>Will the Korean, Taiwanese and Chinese lenses kill the 'MF adapted lenses' market? On the whole, doesn't seem like they will. These manufacturers mostly attempt to transition to higher-margin ...

Rear Element Collision. When attempt is made to focus lens to infinity, the rear of the lens collides with the front of the booster. This is not *that* common of incompatibility, but since the ...

Yes, it does. If difference in flange distance allows for an adapter between different mounts, this will work in case of the focal reducer too. I've personally adapted M42 and Nikon F lenses to an ...

I second that. Like Aoi said: if you don't know, in 95% of the cases you need v2 with a lip. It's going to lock aperture stop down pin for you. However there are very few lenses which wont fully ...

Blurriness comes from camera and subject movement. In the shot above you've had a room for safely doubling your shutter speed at the expense of ISO. This still wouldn't fix this much of a blur, ...

There is none when adapting anything to anywhere. Focal length is a characteristic intrinsic to the lens itself.
