Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Recently converted to a/i for use with digital.

Lot of aperture for a short telephoto.
This one was made in the early 70's, and it's magenta based coatings pre-date the more familiar nikon green lens coatings.

In the image making dept., not bad at all...

Image

Monochrome crop of a G.B.T.'s butt at a little over 80 feet.
F8 at ISO 200. Nice and sharp!

Image

Quick color test with some of Mrs.'s painted ceramic figurines. Back-lit on the living room window sill. Wide-open at f2.5 and ISO 400.

Image

Wide open again at f2.5 and ISO 400 in the mirror.
I is getting as bad as Jackie O. here.
Very short depth of focus at minimum focus distance and wide open.
This one deserves a work-out in normal daylight- as soon as it warms enough...

Regards,

Doc Sharptail

Pushing it a bit as a birder.
60% crop from about 25-30 feet.
F5.6 at ISO 400.
This little guy was very difficult to track, and I was very lucky to get this frame almost in focus.

I have been very impressed with this lens.
I need to do a side by side with the Q 135 F3.5 in the near future.

Regards,

Doc Sharptail

Bird photography is a real challenge - they don't hold still worth a darn.

I like detail on the squill. SW
