My new toy arrived today.
Came complete with the bakelite canister and lens hood all for a mere £20.
Other than a couple of dust specs inside it is minty mint.

Ok here is my first shot using this 44 year old piece of Russian glass and also getting used to using focus peaking on the XT1.
Not the best composition but a good example of how well the lens throws out the back ground. it also seems to render colours and contrast well with a little nudge in PP.

Nice shots, and lovely to see those beautiful cars racing. Worked at an Alfa dealers when they were new and we prepared a few for racing. A bloke called John Myerscough took me round the circuit in his - wonder if he's still racing?

We get lots of moths resting near our outside light. All sorts and shapes. I'd like to have a go at a bit of this macro lark with them, but don't want to spend a fortune on a lens for what will probably be a passing fancy.
I thought about getting some form of legacy lens - M42??? - with an adaptor. Rumour has it they can be picked up cheaply. Trouble is I know nothing about such lenses. Do any of you know the best lens to look at? @WingTsun seems to be a whizz on this.
Must stress I'm not looking to spend very much cash. A £20 from e-bay is sort of the area I'm thinking of!!!

You could pick up any old 20-24mm lens and reverse it with a reversing ring. That's probably the cheapest way to go. Or get a set of extension tubes used off the bay and pop them in front of a standard prime. Or look for something like the Vivitar 55mm 2.8 though that's likely to cost around the £50-100 mark. Alternatively, grab a Raynox 150 and pop it on the front of one of the lenses you already own.

Thanks guys.
I hadn't thought of reversing lenses. I have a 56 so would that reverse well, or would the shorter focal length , say 14mm, give better results? This is a whole new field to me!
A Raynox? Never had anything to do with them. I'll look into them. Again would they be better with a longer or shorter lens? My twisted logic seems to indicate that the shorter length would be better, but then what do I know?

Had a productive few days despite the weather, which didn't manage to kill any lenses!

The last one is included only as an example of what happens when you forget to switch the ISO from 200 back to Auto at f8 in the pouring rain and try and photograph something that moves!

Generally the shorter lengths tend to be used more often but a 56mm is entirely doable. People tend to pop a Raynox on the front of a macro length for more magnification but you could also pop in on the 56mm or something longer like a 100-135mm for example.

If I use the longer lengths would that give me very small DOF? Then I'd be into stacking. Don't mind that but insects tend not to be too stationery for me! Moths would be OK because they are asleep.

You will get a cheap decent cable release from ebay or amazon for between 5 and 10 quid.
Im not sure if the phone app does bulb mode if you intend to do long exposures but it will do normal shutter duties remotely.

Try and dig it back out, if it's a 2.5mm jack it will work on Fuji anyway.

5D mk3 used the n3 connection I think so won't be compatible

Thanks. So I assume that on something like a 23mm the DOF will be greater. Is my logic right?

The original Mary's Shell construction was a Millenium Project. Now that the Brexit campaign looks like winning, the unelected Eurocrats in Brussels are scared that their gravy train might dry up so are throwing money around like there's no tomorrow. They have just commissioned the construction of a nest of shells as a sign of their interest in our continued prosperity.

I know we're not really known for our videography in here but I came across this issue when out yesterday: Serious wibbly wobbliness!
View: https://youtu.be/9Q3Y6qs0hGQ
As soon as I noticed It I moved the camera and it stopped, any idea why? (The flickering shortly after is me opening the aperture).

Was it on a tripod? If hand held did your hands start resting on something solid once you'd moved them? Looks like camera movement because it does do it a little bit later on.
Where was that?

Not sure which lens you used but Did you have OIS switched on whilst this was on the tripod ? - OIS can help steady the camera whilst in the hand but can have the opposite effect when mounted on a tripod.
If you don't have OIS on your lens or it was off then I have no idea.

I think you could be right, I never look at the OIS switches.
