He even had it modified to the 35mm lines, something I was thinking about doing if I were to get one. I made some test shots with the lens yesterday and have them on line: The first one shows where the frame lines fall at closest focus distance. The pen is where the 50mm lines were and the 35mm lines were on the 30 inch mark on the ruler: http://www.pbase.com/2plus2/image/83705807 These next shots are of my little buddy modeling for me, the first one was shot at 1.4. Pretty close, I think I shifted focus a little when I recomposed. The eye is what I was focused on: http://www.pbase.com/2plus2/image/83705809 This one is at 2, 2.5 or 2.8: http://www.pbase.com/2plus2/image/83705820 And this last one was shot in the Mall: http://www.pbase.com/2plus2/image/83706364 So far I am really liking this lens, it seems to be better than my 50 Konica Hexanon f2, but I could be wrong. -- Harrison McClary Harrison McClary Photography harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net ImageStockSouth - Stock Photography http://www.imagestocksouth.com Tobacco Road: Personal Blog: http://www.mcclary.net/blog
