Mike, I was using a nikon mount fisheye with an adapter. When I tried it on the OMD I couldnt get it to focus at all. I'm going to get a m4/3 mount one before WDW. I cant go without a fisheye.

How about some Jeckyll & Hyde bugs from this weekend? A little light side and dark side, with my NEX-5N and 55-210mm lens + 1.7x teleextender...

Here are the light and happy bug shots:

And here are the dark and creepy nightmare bug shots:

Well that stinks! Will you be able to adapt the new one you are getting onto your Nex?

Great shots Zackiedawg

. What lens did you use for those shots? I have a Tamron 70-300mm and I notice I get a lot of purple fringe taking shots like these.

zackiedawg · 10-10-2012, 02:53 PM

Thank you.

That was with the eMount SEL55-210mm lens and a teleextender. The lens itself is very good at controlling PF - I'm not 100% sure if there isn't a little in-camera correction with some of the emount lenses that might help control CA/PF even more, but looking close I don't see too many telltale signs of removed PF, so I think the lens does a pretty good job of avoiding it.

HPS3 · 10-10-2012, 05:25 PM

Justin, those shots are just WOW! I dont think I've ever seen such consistantly awesome wildlife shots. I'm always amazed. I want that TE. You make me wonder why I would ever need a large tele lens.

Mike, I havent picked up the Nex since getting the OMD. Mainly because it focuses super fast even in dim light and accurate. I also have the Pana 25 f1.4 that is just fantastic. With the Nex I mainly use manual focus lenses. The Rokinon FE lens is a m4/3 mount so it will mount directly to the omd no adapter. I love having stabilization for ALL lenses. The nex doesn't.

I would like to get a fisheye but the most common one is a 7.5mm and I already have a nice 7-14. However, the fisheye gets 180 degrees while the 7-14 "only" goes to 114. Now how am I gonna' let DW know that I need another lens?

HPS3 · 10-10-2012, 08:01 PM

Hey Bob, good luck with the wife. The fisheye is one of my favorite lenses. I used it more than my Tokina 11-16 when I went to WDW a few months ago. When I got home I sold the Tokina because it was just sitting on the shelf and I only used it in WDW. The Rokinon fisheyes are really sharp and you can use PP now to defish. I cant see carrying both for my own use. Whenever I'm at WDW I find myself keeping the fisheye on at least half of the time. I also use it for on ride self shots with the kids.

Bob, do you have any tele lenses? I just bought a used 40-150 which should be here Saturday.

That lens does a really well job with that. Mine isnt the greatest and is really the Tamron entry level since I was try to keep it cheap. I def need to invest in a better quality one down the road.

I totally agree with Harry about the fisheye, a great lens and fun to shoot with and once I got the hang of the manual focus was able to get some tack sharp pictures out of it. Bob there is always covert missions to smuggle new lenses into your camera bag with out the wife knowing, not that I have done anything of the sort myself

That surfaced on our trip last week when DW noticed my "14-42 kit lens" was not the same as hers, mine had magically morphed into Panasonic's 12-35! It's a nice lens that is sharp even wide open (this image is at f/4).

HPS3 · 10-11-2012, 09:40 PM

Bob, thats funny. My wife's at the point she doesn't even ask anymore. When I bought the OMD, she thought it was my old Minolta SRT. Its funny that one person has already asked why I still shot film (OMD). LOL! I like the 12-50 kit lens but its so darn slow.
