Nice shots guys, what lens Radcom?
Weevil thats lense is the Sigma 150mm F2.8 DG APO Macro, lovely pice of glass but it's a bit heavy for me handheld I can see the tremble or I've got the hippy shakes :) They have bought out a version with optical stabilisation.

It's not the greatest shot ever, but that's not the point. I'm trying to recreate the feel of the old diana cameras.

You go to Vasona a lot, we were just there thurs.
Lets see I played with the curves, added a bit of red around the overexposed sky to simulate the film burning, then added a light leak in PS to the left side.
Some EK blocks sitting patiently waiting to be fitted.

i sold it, got myself back on track, got some other stuff, got screwed once AGAIN by the mfg and their half a$$ed quality control... and now its all for sale. (only 2 lenses were flakey but after talking to nikon's #1 repair center manager, and hearing what he told me about how 20% focusing tolerance is ok, i have decided i dont want a product from a company who says a 20% focusing tolerance is ok)
20% at 1 inch might be ok, but 20% at 1ft, 6ft, 50ft... no,,, not ok.
anyways, i am doing 1 of two things right now....
1)stopping photography all together and finding something else to do with my money... i mean time
2) I am going full frame and back to canon. i am done messing around with crop junk and being treated like i dont know what i am talking about by manufacturers and having to send gear in twice just to get the issue fixed.
i guess using a FF camera makes the manufacturer think you are a serious photographer and they fix things and make sure your taken care of. lol.
so i will start small and do a 5D classic and a 50 1.4 and 85mm or 100mm and see how i like it. to 50 1.4 and 85mm or 100mm on the 12mp sensor will work great. since its well within the optical means of the lens.
i am not invensting all my money into something i may not like, or something that didnt give me any better results.
i had a chance at a LNIB 60D today for $800..... 350 shots on it and i didnt do it,,, thats how bad i want FF.
here is one just for fun. - used some CS5 built in HDR trickery
used the wifes Lumix DMC-ZS3
f/4.6
1/250th sec

Come back and join us Lestat, miss your wonderful shots.
You would love shooting a FF, I used the 5D classic for a couple days and it made me yearning for more. Although it is much slower then the 30D that I used right before, the "feel" of it is astounding.
If I ever have the chance to go FF, I would get a nice 17-40L and then a Sigma "Sigmalux" 50mm 1.4 to go with it.:)
