In the old days you used the reciprocal of the focal length. Now with digital there are no problems and shorter flange to sensor distances, IS is not a problem, just watch your shutter speed. (note: IS = image stabilization)<br /><br /><b>Kathy/ToadMama:</b> some results are on the next entry.<br /><br /><b>Lori/BeemerGirl:</b> I always thought that photography was about collecting the best lenses and bodies. What a silly notion of using them too.<br /><br />My manual focus lenses are just for fun, gives me a chance to use stuff I already have.<br /><br /><b>Ken:</b> It's a hobby. What else would I be doing with my time, besides riding. I have had these manual focus lenses for decades, except for the Takumar stuff which landed in my lap.

Saving graces is that the humidity hasn't rolled in yet. <br /><br />Have fun dusting off the toys. Looking forward to some shots <i>from</i> the lenses and not <i>of</i> the lenses. :)<br /><br />-Steel CupcakeBeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-24084056234349938892011-03-19T06:53:56.259-07:002011-03-19T06:53:56.259-07:00Wow, that's very cool.

I have always heard that their optics was great but don't have any experience with the brand (besides the lens on my enlarger). I must be lazy as I would rather give up the sharper images from the quality of the lens for the convenience of vibration reduction. <br /><br />Happy Spring!<br /><br />RichardRichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
