I recently sent a lens to MPB and they would only offer me scrap price for it due to the rear element being severely scratched so I asked them to send it back.

In the 6 years I owned it I never noticed a single issue on any image nor the scratch.

Good to see you on the forum again Gary - personally I think that's a great set, the grainy monochrome look on some really suits the subject and your technique is excellent. Classic case of the the photographer being the true maker of the images, not just the equipment

Thanks Lenny

Hi Gary, nice to see you back.

Had a look at the archive and some stand up a lot better than others but have to say overall the GX20 (obviously with the photographers help) did extremely well considering.

I also had a look at some of your other galleries and have to say that whatever you are using now does make Cher look extremely un-natural in the face considering her age

Thanks
The Cher gallery hardly edited to be honest lols
The GX20 raws do struggle when pushed with noise, I was hoping some of the modern noise reduction software would help but unfortunately not. Maybe in another 10 years

Been a long time since I have been on the forum, hope some of you remember me

To pass the time in lockdown I have been revisiting my archive and specifically 2010.

All shot with Samsung GX20, Tamron 17-50mm and DA* 50-135mm

Hope you enjoy them

Once you have handed over copyright you can no longer use them without their permission, in situations like this you should give them unlimited licensing rights this way they get the usage you keep the copyright.
