... Depending on which Eric you mean (as I know there is at least one well known person by that name that contributes greatly to this forum, unlike me that...
Hello folks I've put my 35mm Thorium on ebay (item #180352475544), some might be interested in such a freak lens. You might ask if you have any questions.. ...
Odd, my reply disappeared when I hit send. Yes congrats on your new setup. I really like my G1 with FD lenses. I made a little FD gallery since I had had a...
Eric Love the crocus shot and also the one of the bird in the fence. I know you commented the Bokeh is not smooth but for myself it really adds to the picture....
Diane I still love that cherry bud shot. OT: As far as I know you are correct no 40mm FD except in zooms. I have the Voigtlander 40mm SLII and had been...
Bulk film backs were used to change film less often in scientific (e.g. NASA), sports, news or research applications. But did any photography application used...
I've googled, gone to my favorite FD site--and still can't find this information. I have the very nice 50 f/1.8 with minimum focusing distance about 21" more...
Thanks both of you. This is one of those 'duh' moments. When I saw the link for mir I went back and looked--and looked--and, as they say---if it had been a...
Hi Diane, I assume you want to use this lens with your G1. So, since I have an nFD 50mm F1.4 and a G1 with the jinfinance adapter, I hooked it up and measured...
I guess that's mostly it--others swear by the f/1.4. I had both for EF (shoot quite a lot now with the f/1.4 with the 5D--sold f/1.8). I'm not really unhappy...
Thanks, it does Chuck. That's how I measure the f/1.8. Now--if someone who has shot shallow DOF with both has any comments I'll have something to go on. ...
I have both the 1.8 and the 1.4. But I'm not really a photographer, so my opinion wouldn't be much good. :) I'd be happy to take a couple photos for you...
That would make sense. In that case my results would be much closer to the 17.72 inches the specs says. But even so, adding the 2 inches of lens length and...
Oops. I forgot to account for the FD apater. :) With that included into the calculations, you get right near the .45m (17.72 inches) of the spec. Roughly...
... Well, if you're doing a setup and you're not sure what lens you'll end up using, you can begin to work through the details if you know where the film plane...
Excellent point, I hadn't thought of that. And since the various lenses are differing lengths, it would be a better choice to use the film plane, so you can...
Diane, Since you seem to be the leader of the G1 strings (It's interesting and OK with me), a couple of G1 questions;  * I would believe that I can still...
I have both (SC and SSC). My preference is for the 1.8 on just about every front, but that is certainly not a universal opinion. The Hexanon 40/1.8 is a...
