Does anybody know a site or video on YT that shows how to disassemble a Voitglander 15mm II as my lens has an issue with a stuck aperture ring, maybe a tiny screw has come loose. Need to open to check.

I got a 300mm f/ 2.8 prime lens that I'd love to adapt to my Sony a6400, but I can't identify the lens mount. The lens is marked with Kogaku Japan R. Topcor 300mm. It has a tag saying SL39-3C UV IX. Some backstory; I believe this lens was made in 1958 to be used at the 1960 summer Olympics, and...

Has anyone had an issue that there is significant visible noise at base ISO, just with one lens? Meaning noise becomes visible when you are using in my case 35-100 f4-5.6 lens, but there is no noise at all with other lenses?

Seems like a lot lately. Tamron 50-200/2.8, 28-180/2.8, Viltrox 28/4.5 Pancake, Sigma 28-105/2.8. Tamron 50-300/4.5-6.3, Sigma 28-45/1.8, Tamron 28-300/4-7.1, others from Viltrox, Meike, etc. These are rich times we're living in, not sure I've ever before seen a lens selection as vast as this...

For the price, I could not pass up this lens. I have yet to really run it through any paces of real consequence, so for now, I'll just put down some initial observations. Size Close to the same length as the Fuji 50mm f/2, but it is not tapered the diameter is larger than the 50/2 as well -...

Hello! I'm assuming that many folks have dealt with the focussing problems these cameras sometimes have. I have repaired another one I own one by re-gluing the lower section of the magnetic assembly, and everything's OK. I just bought another DSC-T20, and it, too, has the buzzing focus...

is there anything special about this lens when compared against G MASTER 1.4 35 MM SONY 1. GM Is sharper than Zeiss 2. GM has more saturated image and richer color 3. contrast i dont know perhaps ZEISS 4. Zeiss must be on the good on character. sharpness is not something we can let go...

Fooling with the kit lens ...

Found a really good REVERSIBLE lens hood for Panasonic PL25MM lens that finally answers my quest for a hood that isn't ginormous like original or stores separately as a screw in does. It's 3D printed very nicely and bayonets both directions solidly. Very compact attached either way. Also...

Hi everyone, I am fairly new to this forum and the topic in general so please excuse any dumb mistakes, I will do my best to avoid them. I also don't know if I am at the right place. My problem is that I have a c-mount lens (1" male thread) that I want to use on a camera with a f-mount. Most...

I am sure some of you know that on 9/4/2023. my wife Linda G was photographing a football game when two players chasing the ball ran out of bounds straight into her. She was thrown backward and her head hit a concrete apron and 4 days later she was taken off life support and passed peacefully...

Hello everyone, I'm using a Sony ZV-E10 to shoot 4K videos of moving cars. I need a lens that performs well in low light and creates a blurry background to highlight the subject clearly in the foreground. Any recommendations for lenses that would suit this setup? budget: 300$ mount: e mount...

Took out my K5 with a Pentax 50mm f1.7, a real test of my 65 yr old short-sighted eyes and my manual focusing skills. I leave you all to judge ha ha!

Hello! I'd love for Voigtländer to release RF-mount versions of these two lenses: Voigtländer 50mm f/2 Macro APO-Lanthar; Voigtländer 65mm f/2 Macro APO-Lanthar. Question: How likely to you imagine that they'd release at least one of those two in the next 1-3 years? Some relevant elements...

Having accumulated many 35-mm slides from the film days, I wanted to digitize them. I found that using my flat-bed scanner to do that would be quite onerous. I bought a camera-mounted slide duplicator on Ebay that appears to be identical to this...

This is a relatively new lens in Nikon's Z lineup and one of three rebranded Tamron lenses. This is a bargain lightweight alternative to the more elite Z70-200 f/2.8, but 'bang for buck' it delivers very acceptable results. I am starting this thread to provide a space to serve as a gallery for...

Looks like it would be a good all-in-one lens for day trips or travel.

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/

Here are a few photographs from a couple of nights ago when I took this newly acquired lens out for the first time. I've also included 100% crops from each. All of these were shot at ISO 3200 and I processed them through DXO Pure Raw which tends to soften them ever so slightly. (Also, the...

Do any of our Fujifilm users have an XF50mm f2 lens? I would be interested to know your opinion of it, also to see some images. I am contemplating it as a WR alternative to my XF18-55. I already have the 35mm f2. YouTube reviewers are mainly pretty positive, but one reviewer thought it was 'bland'.

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/

In ACR, under the tab Optics, there is a setting where You can choose a lens profile. Why are there no profiles for Olympus and Panasonic? Any suggestion which profile can be used instead of a specific one?

OK, up here north of the equator the days are getting shorter and it is getting colder, too. Where I live it is not the rainy season but the rainier season so outside photo jaunts are fewer. So, stuck pretty much inside I have to photo something, right? And photos of the kitchen get boring...

This looks like a moderately fast lightweight 112mm equivalent lens. It says it has "5-point weather sealing" and linear autofocus. Does anyone have experience with one of these lenses?
