Hello! Did you actually go on using your J5 for Astro? How did it hold up or did you eventually switch to dedicated cameras? Thanks and best, Alex

Hi! I only have just a few left from my 530, so I can not contribute much, I am afraid - ah, the 530, one of the cameras I disliked the most of all I ever used (it even felt unpleasant to my touch ...

Hello! For the sake of maybe building a library of working C-mount lenses for MFT - I have had a lot of fun with my Schneider Xenon 25/0.95 and a Quenox adapter. Infinity is reached and there is ...

Hi! Probably as controversially discussed as most photo-topics. The whole thing about the "true ancient damascus" starts with trying to define, just what it is. Is it Wootz only etc. Here is a nice ...

Hello! Do you want the shallowest possible DOF or as smooth a rendition as possible? Both factors can contribute to the feeling or an isolated subject but are not necissarily to be found in one and ...

Hi! Thanks, having a few myself, but specifically interested in the Nikkor atm (seeing it at non-closeup distances). Best, Alex
-
Hi! Would you perhaps have any non- closeup sample to share (typical busy background) - I am considering getting one of these again and would appreciate the help. Best, Alex
-
Hi! I have yet to test this myself, but I remember some talk (even on here) on the effects. Did a quick search, here is one older thread with examples - to my unscientific eye, the samples would ...

Hello! Note that he is apparently using a focal reducer - there have been quite a few voices in the past, attributing smoother than normal bokeh to that. I do have Lens Turbo IIs as well, but never ...

Hello! I am not an expert on this at all, but it seems to boil down to the arcsecond designations, where - as far as I understand it - bigger is always better... (I am clueless as to what is going ...

Hello! 1/ not hitting finity, or 2/ going beyond infinity? In all my years adapting (amongst others) Nikon F to pretty much every system out there, with numerous adapters, I have never come accross ...
-
Hello! There is no universal answer, I am afraid, because some lenses will not even reach infinity when being held to the body without an adapter (trying to maneuver it as close the sensor as ...

Hello! As with most photography of (basically) non-moving objects, the moon also happens to be a thankful subject. Like I said above, the shot I posted is a random, fully replicable snapshot and ...

Hello! One of our fat old boys up to no good (no good at all...) ;) just a casual J5 snap Best, Alex
-
Hello! Thanks you - this was with the J5 and 70-300 CX (handheld). Best, Alex
-
Hello! Thank you - it is a baseline replicable moon shot with the J5 and 70-300; given the air is calm and clear enough, a result like this can be had on a 10/10 basis. On the other hand, there is ...

Hello! You could start with the odd handheld moon-shot: ;) full zoom without the TC mentioned above, cropped in full-sized frame Best, Alex
-
Hello! Sounds about right - mine (two copies) also have a noticeable wobble/something-shifting-around-on-the-inside-feel to them. Best, Alex
-
Hello! Enjoy the 70-300! I am sure you will, btw, as it is a great compact lens. I sure enjoy mine a lot. If you ever feel the 810mm equiv FOV is still too short and you have got strong light (or a ...
