In a dark alley?   :-D

Indeed!  Any benefit I get from having an aperture ring (personal preference) is offset by not having exif info and having to set the focal length for ibis. I did order the Sony 50mm 1.8.  Got ...

How about with a zoom?  I put the Tokina AT-X 28-135 on yesterday, and had no clue if i should set the focal length to 28 or 135 or to approximately what i was shooting a particular shot at....

Indeed, its the 28 3.5 (not the M version thats available for less money).  Thanks everyone for the heads up on the sweet spot.  I’ll go get some more comparisons shot at f8-f11.  I also shot ...

Took a few comparison shots today... first is using the Pentax K 28mm, the second is using the kit lens at 28mm.  Both were shot at f/22... and I bumped up the ISO a bit to get a decent shutter ...

Adapter arrived.  It works fine.  I attached the lens and took a few test snaps... and they look good.  Ill play with it some more tomorrow. So I spent $30 for the Tokina AT-X 28-135mm lens, and ...

Or people can buy the 7M2 now for half the price... and as soon as the M4 comes out (and everyone has to have that) they can upgrade to the M3 (for half the price of the 4)  :-D

I'm not at home to check it at the moment... but I recall it having one small notch...

I got an old Tokina 28-135 AT-X lens from someone off Offerup locally. Mount says N/AI. I have been googling it, and came across some old forums debating whether this is safe to mount on various ...

I have the Rokinon 85mm 1.4.  Got it used, from B&H Photo.  I love it.  Been using it for portraits of my kids, and have gotten some great photos so far.  Now, getting my kids to stay still long ...

Yes, brightness was pretty comparable.  So not sure why my outdoor results had been so poor.  Perhaps I had some setting askew that I didn't notice.

Ok, set up the tripod.  Set Aperture to f/8, iso to 800.  the 28mm gave shutter speed of 1/15.  The 85mm gave 1/13....

Was hoping to get outside and door some comparison shots between this 28m and the 85... with similar settings (and compare the readings).  But alas, weather here not cooperating. But I did shoot ...

So if I'm following you guys correctly, the camera should be okay getting a good reading and exposure regardless of it being on a dumb adapter.

I received a used Pentax K 28, and so far have not gotten good results from it. Haven't liked anything from it. Its the first lens I've used an adapter for. Since this lens doesn't communicate ...

I opted for the A7M2... which was $999...or $1199 with kit lens.  Great price.  I thought the IBIS and some other improvements were great to have.  But I couldn't justify doubling the price to get ...

I guess I figured this. But, I've had many unfortunate Craigslist experiences where people list stuff as "like new", and you go to buy it, and its completely trashed.... so I get nervous that when ...

I'm considering a used lens that's listed for a pretty good price... description says "some light internal dust".  Should this deter me?  (Tokina 90mm "Bokina").  Condition seems excellent apart ...
