Ah yes .....Don't think they allow photography in our shopping centre at Thurrock Lakeside, perhaps with my GF1 might get away with it.....Got evicted from M & S once for videoing my family on the escalator
I bought this very cheap and rather odd CCTV lens from ebay for £19 and a C-mount adapter and here are the results. Very odd lens with major vignette and serious edge distortion!!! Quite sharp in the center though. There is no way of knowing that aperture you have set as there's no markings. Will be a good lens for abstract stuff.
I've been playing around with macro today - with a Tokina 28-70 Canon FD MF lens with extension tube, on a tripod. The lens isn't mega sharp but the colours have come out quite nicely I think.
Cheers Andy and Robb - used Silver Efex Pro for the B+W/sepia type thing on a separate layer, then turned it into a layer mask and made a circular gradient fill thingy to bring through the colour.
Finally received my adapter for my new (used and only £10) Konica Hexanon AR 40mm f1.8 lens.
Took a couple quick test shots. Just crop and B&W conversion, nowt else. I can see this is going to be a favorite!!! Focal length looks great and IQ is super!
1: On the GF1
2: Colour test. @ f2.8 hand held. The sharp bits really are super sharp!
