Lens Across America - The Traveling Lens (Round 5)

[jcdeboever]

JC, I was figuring on you filling up the post-the-pics-page...don't let me down, brother!

Wheres that? Isn't it on flickr? I'm confused, I thought the pics were to go up on flickr???
Oh, I just re read, looks like you can post them in here. When I get it, I'll do it then. Easy enough. I shoot a lot so its non problem.

So that's why no one has posted pics!!! No one is sure where they go

 

[snowbear]

Just post them here; that's what I'll probably do if the flickr request doesn't go through.

 

[Braineack]

just wait till i get it and your flickr blows up with cat pics.

I took no photographs with the lens other than a couple to verify it worked which were deleted. Trust me ya didn't miss anything. My life is...well challenging at this point. I thought a project would help alas no dice. My apologies for wasting time.

The lens arrived yesterday. Didn't get a chance to open the box. I hope to use it tomorrow and ship it off next week.

I am starting to think candidates for the lens should not have a life

Lol. I can relate to that. I think I'm going to adapt it to my XT2 because I already have a butt load of film to develop, 20+ rolls. I've been so flippin busy with work and holidays. I'm half tempted to send them out.

Tucker visiting for the holidays, from Chicago. He follows commands as Webster does not. Shot on adapted XT2, cold light modified. Shot wide open, 1/160s, ISO 3200. Manual focus, with peaking highlights. Acros

Here is one, custom chrome

I managed to sneak out (it was cold) with my Nikon F, SB15, and my last short roll of TriX for this project. I am posting 7 out of the 12 images on the roll. Exposed for 400 speed, HC110B @5:30, Epson V800 scan.

Interesting lens. Light and very cheap feeling, not what I am normally used to. However, the lens performs way better than I expected. I would surmise it is great alternative for someone starting out on a tight budget. I will be shipping off to Sparky tomorrow.

Just as FYI for the participants: I asked @MartinCrabtree to skip my name in the rotation as I was too busy to participate when my name was next on the list. I would like to shoot with the lens. Maybe it would be possible to get back in the rotation at the end of the list...
