A query regarding the rules. I have a fixed lens camera with a teleconverter that brings it up to 50mm, I'm aware that this would be a lens modifier, is that acceptable or does it have to be an organic 50mm?

If that's the only camera you have Allan and you want to join in I'm happy to let it go, this is a fun challenge after all. If there are no objections from the rest of the contributers I'll allow it.

It's not the only one I have, but it is the smallest and the one I'm most likely to have with me at any given time. Just seeing what my options are.

That being the case then Allan I'd have to say to be fair to everyone else use one of your other cameras that you have that is within the spirit of the rules. On Sunday I did a recce fora shot for this month using a Fujifilm X100V and set the digital crop to 50mm to see if the shot would work but I won't use the recce shot I'll go back with the appropriate camera lens combination to get Nifty Fifty native FoV.

I'm working in Plymouth on Monday, so when I was fretting about finding a shot my wife reminded me that we'd probably be seeing plenty of boats over the weekendI'm in for Boats but I didn't find them on Dartmoor I had to go to Plymouth Barbican.

Up until that Barbican visit I had an even more iffy shoehorn, shot on X100V in SQ aspect ratio (equiv to 80mm on 120 therefore standard lend ergo 50mm equiv) shot on Dartmoor (beside Burrator Reservoir) but you can hardly make out the Boats in the very cerntre of the frame.

My newly bought 35mm has stopped talking to the camera, its on its way back to MPB and being swapped for a D700 which I am mounting my beloved Meyer on so bubble bokeh here I come! A camera just for the nifty fifty. well its so I can use the Meyer as was intended by the gods of bokeh!
