These pictures from a week of so ago are of a platform that I only just realised was the scene of the Moorgate tube disaster. Today is the 49th anniversary of that. Never to be forgotten.

I really do wonder sometimes whether the new lenses like this as well as the 50 F1 are better suited to Nikon Z rather than the rangefinder. https://nikonrumors.com/2024/02/20/new-voigtlander-nokton-75mm-f-1-5-aspherical-lens-for-nikon-z-mount-announced.aspx/amp/

This evening, 1 January 2024, I'm pondering what I'm going to be up to as well as the places I'm possibly and definitely going to be over the next year and thinking that for me and pretty much everyone else here, there's a huge volume of pictures coming up in the next 365 days. But what was the...

Hope everyone’s day yesterday (it’s just gone midnight where I am) went through stress free - as it’s over, I thought I’d get back into the gear related discussions. I just wanted user confirmation (maybe experiences?) from anyone of using pre-ai Nikkor lenses with the FTZ adapter, that is...

Again, when it comes to image output on new lenses, making it harder and harder to justify Leica's own, in this instance, Summilux version of this lens. https://www.cosina.co.jp/voigtlander/en/vm-mount/nokton-vintage-line-28mm-f1-5-asphrical/

Time to start the yearly thread I guess. You may not see this time of year as Christmas and of course @gryphon1911 has had his Holiday Images thread up and running for over a month, which is how a lot of people refer to it, so feel free to post there too/ instead...

I like sharp images just as much but probably not more than the next person but don’t think it’s the be all and end all of photography so thought I’d start an open thread (and basically this forum’s version of the “Sharpness is a Bourgeois Concept" thread on RFF) for those so inclined. That may...

Never heard of this company and the lens seems very cheap. https://nikonrumors.com/2023/08/02/artralab-lunaelumen-50mm-f-1-1-lens-for-nikon-z-mount.aspx/ I’m no marketeer but I do wonder if these companies increased the aperture by just 0.1 to make these lenses f1.0 they might get more...

It seems many of us, including me, either discuss or post images about this subject, so I though why not create a thread? Pictorial or discussion, be our guest. This will inevitably cover a range of issues but as a first post (which probably should have been started with my post about my hay...

I'm delighted to say I haven't needed these at all this summer which is unusual for me. Tokina 100mm F2.8

I know nothing about this Hong Kong based business, but looks interesting. Seems it's not just Lens Light Lab doing this sort of thing. https://artralab.com/collections/lenses

I have the Contax RF to M adapter which I must say is enormous fun, plus Contax RF 50mm lenses are generally smaller than their Leica counterparts and this adapter lets me focus closer. My question is can I get away with using this same adapter with Nikon S RF lenses? Yes, I know Amedeo do an...

https://www.cosina.co.jp/voigtlander/en/vm-mount/ultron-75mm-f1-9/ Sonnar layout. MC & SC. For my tastes, it looks fantastic.

Well, depending on where you are in the world it is or is about to be 1 December. That's not too early to start the Crimbo thread is it? Well too bad if it is! Feel free to post your 2022 pics here as the month progresses. I'll start off with two, taken in November, the result of the retailers...

They really are knocking them out at the minute aren't they. https://www.cosina.co.jp/voigtlander/en/vm-mount/nokton-vintage-line-35mm-f1-5-aspherical/

A historically updated lens which I'm guessing won't be of interest to some due to its characteristics but it may be of interest to others and seems to be coming available in most mounts (although notably no RF coupling though). This is interesting to me as it completely slipped my mind that...

As I’ve said before, there’s probably no such thing as a “bad” Voigt lens so I’m sticking this up here for any Z Mount owners here. As someone who only wants smaller lenses for the rangefinder, I’m thinking the Lanthar lenses might be better suited for me on the Z mount. Shame that the, by all...

Lens Light Lab (LLL) is a Chinese company which makes copies of old classic Leica lenses, the type which cost the price of a house in certain parts of the UK. And by all accounts, these copies seem to be of a superb quality, not only in appearance to the originals, but more importantly...

Well, if you’ve been to the Stasi Museum in Berlin, you’ll be aware of this, but for those that haven’t, this is Special Lens SO - 2.2 B for taking covert photographs at night and under poor lighting conditions. To quote: “Carl Zeiss Jena began developing the special lens on behalf of the...

I occasionally had GAS for the CL because of its wonderful size, native lenses and adaptability of M Mount lenses but always managed to hold it off due to similarly specked Fujis and the hope that there may one day be a full frame digital CL. This doesn’t prevent one from purchasing a new or...

It just dawned on me that we don't have one. Well, at least I don't think we have, apologies if that's the case. I started last year's thread way too early in November, now I'm starting one way too late. But started it I have. Feel free to post your Crimbo 2021 pics here, also a good excuse...

I recently came across this lens so am placing a reference point for it in case anyone in future searches it in the lenses section. Definitely recommended. I have a much larger DLSR 100mm macro lens which is better when it comes to strictly macro but in terms of overall rendering, this cheapie...

Flew back from Sydney to my mother country the United Kingdom last Thursday. Australia is considered a 'Green' country for quarantine purposes, however as the plane went through Doha, a 'Red' country, I've been sent to quarantine in a hotel down the road from Heathrow airport. I really...

How is this decided?

Some questions: Anyone owned/ owns this lens? How does it really perform compared to the other fast aperture Nikkors? Is its astronomical (IMO) price based on supply and demand or because it’s that good? Just curious, that’s all.

Went past a decorated up house tonight, so thought I'd start this thread (a bit early, I know). Feel free to post your crimbo 2020 pics here, also a good excuse to create some bokeh balls, no?

It's all the same around the world, so the images will all be largely the same won't they? Well maybe not, let's find out. Are those policemen in Amsterdam really that chill? Do policemen in certain parts of America really consume doughnuts and drink coffee all day? Do the policemen in London...

I detest this building. Blighting the cityscape in Sydney. Now the city’s biggest, erect and shiny (probably as an ode to its male owner) and as overcompensations go, this one’s spectacular. Of course, the owner is far more powerful than the city’s politicians, so clearance was waved through...

Anyone got this lens? It's the one from mid 60s to the early 2000s (pre asph). If so, any thoughts?

I don't think there's a showcase for this lens which is surprising given how many copies of it were made and the fact that a large portion of members here would have either owned or currently own one. A truly wonderful lens in terms of operation and rendering.

Ok, I'll get this started, post 'em here.... Untitled by Otim, on Flickr Untitled by Otim, on Flickr Wolli Creek by Otim, on Flickr Untitled by Otim, on Flickr Untitled by Otim, on Flickr

Just starting a showcase thread for this lens as we don't appear to have one. Here's a couple of images taken with a Leica M-E with an external 21mm viewfinder: Berrima, NSW by Otim, on Flickr Untitled by Otim, on Flickr Focusing with the rangefinder then composing with the external...

12th Cameraderie Photo Challenge: Your favourite "Snapshot" of 2018 Snapshots. Often derided by people on photography forums but not by me and so I'd like to use this latest challenge as an opportunity to celebrate them. So as it's December (already!), let's see you choose just one from this...

Got up super early to catch the sunrise, only large swathes of cloud were blocking the sun. Thought it was a wasted journey and was about to return home then thought hang on surely the sun will eventually rise above the clouds, right? Lucky I stayed. I'm just continuing my test of the...

It's the only place I can go here in Sydney to get anything half decent (supermarkets? urgh). Was only there for 10 minutes yesterday just to get my cod, crab & squid. Also posting this to test if the uploading images issue is fixed for me (fingers crossed).

I know spam is hardly a new thing with the photo site but over the last 72 hours I've had to block countless people liking my images who I can only describe as inappropriate ("Sharon", "April" and so on - I'm sure you get the drift). I have never seen it on this scale. Anyone else having this...

If so, I'd be very interested to hear from you with your experiences. The 75 has been the only reason I still cling to my m43 gear (it was stuck to my E-P5 before some teenager known to me broke it). Today, in the camera shop, I attached the 90 on to my X-E3. Didn't use it, just wanted to...

I noticed that there doesn’t appear to be a thread covering this continent. I imagine that’s probably because most of us have never been there, so I thought I’d start one. Not so much for pictures of safari trips etc or images demonstrating corner to corner sharpness and resolution, more so...

Never been before, so I thought I'd pop into town to see this event which has huge coverage in this part of Australia and is attended by hundreds of thousands of people locally and from overseas. The volume of pictures taken was huge and I've only just started editing them, but these images...

Prima facie, you can't say it doesn't look interesting. iPhone 7 Just in time for the Single in January challenge eh?

Yeah that's right the 'cheapo' waterproof compact point & shoot which would have come out 5-6 years ago with a tiny sensor compared to anything released these days. There was no option to shoot raw with this baby. I was just going through the wife's photos in Vietnam in 2013 - it's not that...

Can anyone recommend a useful Canon forum for a beginner? There are so many Canon forums, it's hard to know where to start. I'm looking for a forum that helpfully covers the basic stuff along the lines of 6D cameras, plastic fantastic lenses, that sort of thing, and where Canon v Nikon wars...

After about 6 weeks of the GR, I'm thinking about future purchases and thinking "what now?". I'm thinking of that sharp crispness the GR's non AA filter sensor gives you, the rendering, the....as a GR owner, you'll know what I mean. I'd just like to have something that is as good, image-wise...

Ricoh GRII is coming soon! - mirrorlessrumors

Can Coolpix A users confirm whether whether this has ever been an issue or you are aware of this being an issue for anyone else. This was pretty much the only thing which made me refrain getting my wallet out for the GR, so it would be useful to get some feedback from the community.
