Weekly #251 Focus and rejuvenation Discussion
............However, if we have ever used manual focus lenses maybe we can look to our archives as there is no time limit on when the images were shot. That is true - perhaps it is time to get the scanner out again. Unfortunately the competition also excludes the use of all compact and bridge cam...

I like the theme, although it may stop some people entering. There are some subjects which have not been suitable for me in the past but it was a competition or two. It may encourage people to search out some of these older lenses, as has Dr O's Holy Moly thread. My newly acquired Takumar 55 ...

Hi everyone, I seem to have created some controversy and division with this competition theme! I may have over-estimated the number of people who still own manual focus lenses, but surely there must be loads of you who have these and use them regularly? I would think that most members would not ...

All the people you are envisaging there are the older photographers who have used manual focus lenses. Newer photographers won't even think of it, not unless prompted by forums like this, and then only a small percentage are likely to take it up. However, we will see.

But what difference is manual focus meant to make to the image. If it's in focus it's in focus It's just a competition theme Barrie! Nothing too deep about it but I wanted to see shots taken with older manual focus lenses which demonstrate skill in manually focussing which can't be demonstrated wit...

What a fuss ! David won the competition last week so he gets to choose this weeks theme. I would say the theme is very clear and easy to understand. If I win I'm going to make the following weeks competition "pictures of my house" and not give out the address.

LOL couldn't agree more, also very surprising comments suggesting Pentax users wouldn't be using old manual focus lenses, as they are the best you can get without spending £700+ IMO

If I win I will only accept pictures from a 645D of the Falklands.:D I know the winner gets to choose, but the competition is about the image not the equipment.

also very surprising comments suggesting Pentax users wouldn't be using old manual focus lenses They might if they were all enthusiast photographers, but try asking the more casual camera buyer and they would probably wonder why we bothered. We have a very broad spectrum of members from complete ...

Wooah Ken - it`s hardly a membership requirement is it ? It`s a one week comp and is no more restrictive than any other subject depending on the location and mood of the photographer entering. As John R said there are "older" members with manual focus gear and as Charlotte said " the joy of Pentax...

Steady on folks, it's not a point of contention, just a concern that people should be included in a general sense, not excluded. As a general principle, that is in keeping with the ethos of things. It would be a similar concern to exclude people by having a "Fish-eye lens shots" competition, whic...
