What kind of pictures do you use the Rokinon 85/1.4 or Contax 100/2 for other than portraits. I have the Contax 100/2 but haven't had much of a chance to use it. My biggest problem is that I don't ...

One of the following two is what I seem to go back and forth on. Two Contax lenses - the 50mm/1.7 and the 28mm/2.8 I think I favor the 50mm/1.7 just a bit. I recently obtained the Contax 35mm/2.8 ...

That's not fait. I'm in Connecticut. Looking at that menu is legal torture.

I seem to rember reading that in the news. I have that same book that's in your image. Wish I could have had a chance to actually taste some of the stuff he cooked. I did eat at a number of known ...

Which FUJI models had the waxy skin tones ?

It's still a great camera if focusing speed is not it's main function. I just bought one to use with my manual focus lenses. I'm a big fan of the old Contax Carl Zeiss lenses. I also just love ...

Congratulations. Now to find that replacement lens in great shape at a great price.

By the way - good information. I didn't realize the Minolta was way smaller and lighter. That's important to me, unless there is a big difference in image quality - and there doesn't seem to be one.

Full sized images were very close, and I'm wondering whether the difference is due to slightly different exposure due to glass and whatever minor reasons. I downloaded the two images and adjusted ...

That's 4 reasons Marc (snickering)

Amazing ... this is better than a cooking class. Paul Prudhomme operates out of New Orleans. Some of the best spicy cooked foods can be had in that town. My favorite place in the world. Music - ...

I guess I must have a faulty lens.

The seller has a 100% rating and wants to keep it at 100% if he/she is a motivated seller. I have found sellers quite reasonable and accommodating to maintain their good rating. If it's a newer ...

Fantastic. The bokeh test should be very interesting. Looking forward to it.

I noticed that in the Minolta and Canon lenses I have, they render almost identical colors and sharpnes AND that the Contax tends to be slightly warmer. It's especially noticeable when you look at ...

Manufacturers will attempt to continue to outdo each other in order to get you hard earned money. Until the FUJI X-T3 comes out, that is always the question somebody will ask. From my perspective, ...

I wonder if this procedure doesn't create a danger for the aperture blades by opening them beyond a point of no return - where they hang and can't be closed again. Minolta obviously had a reason ...

Trying to complicate your life - and mine I might add. About 1/4 the price of the Contax. I looked at reviews and that lens looks darn good. Just be sure not to get the one with Rokkor on the lens. ...

Ha ha .... I may hate how the lens handles, but I do love it's potential for some cash

Any idea how the CV 40/1.4 compares to the Leica 40/1.4 ? I happen to have that lens - it came with a Leica CL I bought at a second hand store long time ago. I have to keep reminding myself - maybe ...
