Here is one of mine. I know the moon is blown out but I think it helps make it more abstract.



I have one other (a sage plant) on the site and am working to salvage a kitty pic and a panoramic snapshot taken from the balcony at work.

Hi guys! I got the lens on Friday

It took a minute for me to figure out how to put it on (canon). It was hard to use (manual focus) and I wasn't able to select aperture so I had to keep my ISO SUPER high...even outside! I shot for 20 minutes and got some pretty neat shots. It was nice to just go with it...make it work...here is what I got.



Thanks for letting me be a part of such a fun project! I will send it off on Monday to the next in person in line.

Paige, there is a very small silver "tab" on that adapter that allows one to adjust the aperture, manually, by hand. It has as I recall seven little click stops.

I sent a PM to next in line a few days ago and haven't heard back yet. Should I move on down the list? Give it a another day?

I'd say wait a few days and if you still haven't heard back, move on down the list.

leave to paige to really exploit the "shooting into sunlight" issues with that damaged lens element.

Paige, or any previous shooter, did you have issues with the lens focusing around ∞ ?
