    I have the Minolta 500 f/8. I think I posted a sample in the bird series. I have speculated getting a copy of the Minolta 800, but so...

    Also, thanks – your timing was fortuitous. At about 7:30a local time this morning, I happened to check CPW for a Canon-refurbished RF...

    Aww, man — I wish I had thought of that snappy response. Epic.

    I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but the repetition of idiosyncratic nonsense like "shovelling garbage tier" and dripping...

    It's hella hard when hand held and things don't wait. Temperature also has a huge effect on the cheap mirrors, in my experience. It's...

    Contrast can be adjusted in post if the ISO isn't too high and sharpness is largely about nailing focus, which is hard. None of the...

    Once Canon improved their low ISO DR (after many years of being behind Sony and Nikon in that particular metric, despite continuing to...

    In contrast, yours do have decent contrast and sharpness.
  • DocInfoSci
    Hahaha! Yeah, but for only $72 and a whim — and only in-camera. On a bright day. For random giggles. The point being imagine if...

    I would seriously consider such a creature! I bag images like this when using my ultra-cheapo 3rd party mirror lenses when I'm in the...
