• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

Let's see some great shots taken with old, cheap gear!

Here's some old cheap equipment I still use all the time. All taken December 2013 with a Kodak DCS Pro SLR/C and a Vivitar "Series 1" 19 to 35 zoom. The last one is HDR. Proof that even at 1.5 FPS, this camera is still capable of producing a hand held bracket for HDR :)

Wow! Cool photos (I like the colors) , and a cool camera too :)

Salt lake Community College, Salt Lake City, circa 2013, Pinhole Camera made from Beats Earphone box.8 second exposure
This is lovely! Can you share the picture of the camera?
Thanks. That is neat!

My next pinhole will be made from a Canon 70-200 coffee mug!

That's funny. Given the length of the thing I suppose it will also have the effect of a long focal length.

Here's one taken with an off brand (Image) 135mm f/2.8 lens I got for $10 at a local pawn shop. It was mounted (via adapter) on a 6D body (which helps!!), but still...

Great shot! If I get around to it I hope to do some shooting coming weekend with my Canon FL135mm f/2.5 on my NEX-6.

Have fun. Some of the older lenses don't translate all that well to modern age, but others are still great. I find that some of them have more personality than modern lenses.
