It seems like we're at 4,878 views and 180 posts and about two photos posted that were made WITH the lens, and a couple of neat photographs OF the lens shot and posted by DScience. I waded through the entire 11 pages the other day, without seeing many photos at all. Kind of disappointing for 180 posts.

Well, I can assure you if someone ships me the damn lens I will take a photo with it, post it, and ship it off to jjparson in Utah, in less then a week.

:grumpy:

I received the lens yesterday and will have it turned around in the next few days with a pic posted.

Thanks Pugs!

DScience, where's your photo?

Dominantly · Feb 12, 2010

He thought we were taking pictures OF the lens.... You'll have to send it back to him to get a photo WITH the lens :lol:

LOL...

I'm so sorry guys, I have been completely unmotivated with this project. I have a few crappy shots, i'll get them up this weekend.

Well...

I tried to catch a sunset after work... but I missed it by a few minutes as more clouds and the threat of snow came in...

What I've learned from this experience, I SUCK without autofocus and/or focusing aids. My Konicas are manual focus, but both have focusing aids (the T2 has a microprism and the T3n has a microprism with a split image line in the middle).

The end result is that some of these are VERY soft. These represent ALL of the pics I took in the eight minutes that I spent with it after work. Tomorrow, I'll have another opportunity after work to take some more (hopefully better) pics and then I'll ship it off to Australia on Wednesday or Thursday.

Pugs, the first couple trains shots almost look like tilt-shift, pretty cool.

They are a bit soft but that is not so horrible to me. Reminds me of the 70s. Like the Miller stadium shot and the basketball court. I am about 90 miles North of Milwaukee.

2 pictures added in 2 months, I'm about ready to pull the ****ing plug on this project.

It was laid out in black and white what was expected prior to anyone asking to be a part of this. There are plenty of people actually excited about this project, if you're not - let me know and I'll gladly remove you from the list and add people that will actually enjoy it and move it along as expected.

Not that I'm bitter or anything.
