I wish I could say had that much patience to set the shot up! The picture is straight from the garden hand held. I use Photoshop elements to cut the flower out and place it on a black background.

Cheating i guess ?

Thanks for your comments. I had never thought about making the frame square...I will give that a go next time. These were shots from the garden, grabbed between rain showers. I will have a go next time at giving the flowers a "make-over" before their model shoot, haha !!!

You are correct...all the bugs and bits of soil do rather detract from the image.

Thanks for looking.

I said I would post some new pictures and here they are....."not more flower shots" i hear you cry..

Thanks for pointing out the ebay 35mm f2.0 lens, but I have aquired one from another source.

Now I just need to find a 28mm f2.0 !!

SMC - M series 35mm & 28mm f2 ??

There are plenty of the M series 28 & 35mm lenses in the f2.8 aperture for sale on ebay, but do any f2 lenses appear from time to time?

I have done a completed listing search but cannot find any

Hello

I signed up on here ages ago but never posted, so here goes (deep breath)

I am new to digital (approx 1 year), and have learned a lot from this and other forums.

I use a DS with a number of lenses. I have recently been re-discovering my old M lenses, and to that end have just fitted a split image screen to my camera (reminds me of my MX). Havnt had time to evaluate it properly, but in the kitchen last night under hopeless lighting there didnt seem to be any difference in exposure between the original and new screen.

I have posted some pictures on other forums and wont re-hash them here , but will post when i have something (I think) intreresting to show.

Quite a long hello really.

I got mine from them, arrived in about 10 days, and was able to track its progress online.

If they dont have one in stock you can ask them to email you when they do.
