cult lens fun

[Brokken]

Olympus OMD-EM5 with Panasonic 12mm-35mm (24-70mm 35mm equivalent) X-lens f/2.8

I just love micro four thirds. It's such a portable system and still you manage great shots.

@Peatmoss:

His eyes usually are clean, but it just so happened that they weren't when I took this pic.

And he's supposed to be slightly hairless too, because he is a Devon Rex cat.

Great pics Brokken and NaN. I really like the first pic of your dog, Brokken.

huh, all this time I thought it was only the one dog. Guess two cuties is better than one though.

Gorgeous cobra pics, Brokken.

I tried light painting, with an exposure of 15 seconds or so. Very good results compared to not using this technique.
no light painting

Also tried it on this:

Got my Suntar Auto 135mm, f/2.8 attatched to my camera, good glass!

The photos aren't too shabby:

Bokehlicious!

CAT!

Apparently, this thing, is a dog. At least that is what my sister calls it. Methinks it is a runty bigfoot!

 

[Brokken]

You gotta tell me how to light paint, Devon. That's incredible!

You got an OMD? I want to try one of those so badly!

It's fantastic! If you get a chance, do yourself a favor and try it. It's a great, lightweight camera with all the features of the big boys in a small package. My EM5 and me are not parting ways any time soon.

I recieved another new lens, a fisheye made in Russia, Zenitar 16mm 2.8

I scored it for $150 shipped, so i guess it qualifies as a cult lens

 

[Av8tor1]

ohhhh love wide angle lenses....

gotta love those Russians

 

[Brokken]

Took these today with my Pany 7-14mm (14 - 28mm equiv. APS sensor) f/4 at Embarcadero in San Francisco - This is a rectilinear wide angle and though it may not have much history behind it yet, I think it's gonna become cult.

 

[amphirion]

im liking those shots. very clean!

 

[Devon]

I must agree with Jon! Really cool perspective of very interesting art! I especially like that waterfall. Is there a balcony on it?

 

[Av8tor1]

ohhh I like that, those are beautiful

Can you take a pic of a brick wall so we can get an idea of it's distortion (looks really nice)
(some to be expected, nature of the beast)

 

[Peatmoss]

Awesome Brokken! Really nice lens!

I took this one a while back, but never posted it here:

 

[Brokken]

These were taken with the Olympus 75mm f/1.8 lens. Possibly one of the finest pieces of glass for the Micro Four Thirds format:

And these were taken with the Panasonic 12-35mm f/2.8 lens in San Fran:

I love the N. hamata shot. Very cool composition, and amazing sharpness as always!! I alos like the last one, it looks abstract-ish
