Back in the early days of DSLRs with small sensors, the Sports Photography group I worked with would get amazingly nice quality poster sized...
I may be saying what's obvious to everyone... I've noticed lenses become more difficult to focus beyond f/5.6, and even then when the light is not...
I used to use two Sunpak 422 flashes with my Canon A-1 and F-1. They worked great. Now days I like using Sunpak 622 (and 555) handle mount flashes...
My only caution with MIK (Made in Korea) lenses is sticky iris/aperture blades. I have seen lots of used manual focus (MF) MIK stuff that is stuck...
I didn't know anything about these kits. I have an extra FDn 50mm f/1.4 that might make a nice project. :cool: Not sure I want to do that to...
:( Probably that and FD lenses haven't reached the mythological status of Zeiss optics! :D Although many students are still taking traditional...
I know what you're saying, I stumbled onto a great deal for a black Minolta SR-T 102 and Rokkor 58mm f/1.4 that I couldn't resist. :cool::cool::cool:
I'm re-posting my comment from another thread here: Perhaps the compromise solution for FD lenses would be a full-frame mirrorless "DSLR style"...
...and once you've successfully created the adapter for the FD lenses, it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to create similar M2E (mechanical to...
Perhaps the compromise solution for FD lenses would be a full-frame mirrorless "DSLR style" larger-sized retro-looking camera body (for better...
I hear the points you're making, yet the T90 had all the mechanicals inside of it and it became the design used for the EOS models. I would have...
I learned photography on a Canon A-1 and added a black AE-1 Program. I later stepped up to the old F-1 and new F-1, then added a T90. I still have...
Depending on what type of subjects you like to photograph, also consider buying a nice used DSLR with kit lens and battery+charger. If you are...
I know this is a little late, but depending on what type of subjects you like to photograph, also consider buying a nice used DSLR with kit lens...
When I can't get AF confirmation to light up, I temporarily rotate the camera 45 degrees about the lens axis and that usually solves it. (assuming...
The other thing about making a retro model to use the FD lenses is for a 1:1 focal length relation instead of a multiplier or crop factor. That...
That's definitely a good reason to use AF. Even with the diopter correction adjustment being in range for my eye, I still prefer wearing my...
Looks like you're right. I looked at some of the adapters for sell on Amazon and read more info on the M cameras. I've been living too much in the...
I've also had lots of fun exploring a variety of older lenses and making use of the sensor-based image stabilization that works with them! :) This...
I guess it's like the old saying "Rome wasn't built in a day!" :)
