My other new adaptor arrived, so I can mount the M39 Voigtlander 15/4.5 onto my new Pen F. This lens works really well and gives an angle of view similar to a 30mm lens on full-frame, pretty much ideal as a general purpose lens for me. Notably small, and the adaptor has a lot less physical depth, only pushing out the lens by a meagre 9mm from the body - the Pentax K adaptor pushes out by a whopping 25mm.
Incidentally, the adaptors I chose are made by Kiwi and I have to say they are excellent - the best I've used. While rooting into the dark recesses of one of my man-drawers I found my old Tokina AT-X Macro 90mm f2.5 and tried it out with the in-built body IS - works a real treat but boy it's heavy for the little camera! Been a bit ill this weekend but am planning a short trip to North Wales next weekend so will post some pics soon. Here's an update page with all 3 lenses attached. <http://www.seeingeye.tv/pages/pen.html> Finally getting to grips in setting it up to my liking. The large/fine jpegs it chucks out are 9MB each, which for a half frame camera ain't bad. It's 20MP so they must be pushing it some for the size of sensor. I don't shoot RAW but I suppose one day I'll get there to have a play with that. The mono output is as nice as the Fuji stuff. Bought a leather camera bag so it'll go in there with the 3 lenses and the Fuji X20. It might just inspire me to take some snaps ;-) Cheers all -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
