Thanks, Markus. So am I - interested, that is. I'm sure it's not easy, doing nice shots with a manual focus, manual exposure (sort of) and very heavy, third (or fourth) party lense. I guess these cheap lenses will require F.11 to perform decently, this meens LOTS of light ;-) Don't miss my temporary tests:
At the top of the pages is a brick wall (full frame), at the bottom there's a shot of a street sign and buildings (showing just 40-50% of the total image). At the bottom of the page, there's a link to the next focal length. Look at (200mm): http://www.jensbladt.dk/Test/newfile1.html Jens Bladt http://www.jensbladt.dk -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Markus Maurer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 26. marts 2006 08:48 Til: [email protected] Emne: RE: Tersting a Tamron Adaptall 6.9 200-500mm (not SP) Hi Jens no limits on the date or else , the idea has just grown from a message Tim wrote me after I published the first shot with the Tamron SP 500 mirror lens. But I am really interested to see what can be done with cheap tele lens equipment and wildlife/bird photography, others too? greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Jens Bladt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Sunday, March 26, 2006 7:50 AM >>To: [email protected] >>Subject: re: Tersting a Tamron Adaptall 6.9 200-500mm (not SP) >> >> >>Thanks, Markus.
