Darren, You cannot judge the quality of lenses by the work I publish on-line. Just as I cannot judge the quality of YOUR lenses by the work you show. The resolution of on-line images is too low for that, the photographs were not intended to exhibit a lens' quality in the first place, etc etc. The only thing you can judge by the quality of work in an online gallery is the work itself, and for 'fine art' work that judgment is more a statement of what you like than what the work is beyond the trivial matters of technical merit.
That said, lessee: I shot with mostly Rolleiflex, Nikon and Leica gear up until 2001 or so, then Sony and Canon digital alongside Hasselblad 6x6 to end-2004, then Pentax from 2005 to 2007-2008, then Panasonic and Olympus FourThirds/Micro-FourThirds. I added back Leica lenses again with the GXR and Leica film in 2011, have had the Leica M9 since 2012, re-acquired Hasselblad and Nikon F, and am once again expanding my FourThirds stuff this year. This past year I'm also enjoying working with very low rez stuff like film, pinhole and zone plate, and Polaroid a lot too. I've been posting photos on line with various sites and tools since 1996. I ran my own website from 2005 until last year under "gdgphoto.com", but that's closed down now. I have been posting photos to my flickr account since late 2007/early 2008 ... all of the PESO and GESO posts I forward to this list are hosted there. About 2000 or so of my photos are there, made with all the above equipment and more, broken up into sets: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gdgphoto/sets What's there is representative dabblings and daily ideas, a tiny slice of what I have on my local system here. My book, which has work made from approximately 2010 through the first months of 2012, was published on Blurb.com in Summer 2012 and is much more representative of what I see in quality in print if you buy a copy: http://www.blurb.com/b/3339394-ways-together enjoy G On Sep 19, 2013, at 5:30 PM, Darren Addy <[email protected]> wrote: > Forgive me for not know this, but Godfrey do you have a gallery (or > something) that contains images taken with these lenses that "make > even the best modern Pentax lenses seem like … Oh, let’s not start > that nonsense"?
