Pics Of Your Primes Please!!

[RbrtPtikLeoSeny]

Haha alright, your probably going to think I'm insane, but I wanna see some pictures of primes baby! Googling them doesn't do the trick, I wanna see some real pictures of real lenses.:D Gets me all giddy, so lets see some 35L's, 85L's, 135L's, 300, 400, 500, 600, 1200, what ever, let's see the pics!:D

Here's a pic to kick things off. The all mighty 85 f/1.8! Man I love this lens. (p.s. not my pic)

Steve......one more and you've got the trinity! How is the 24mm? Was considering that one a while back but decided to go really really wide and bought a used Sigma fisheye.........

[Raymate]

Sorry it's a 50mm but I thought this was a cool thread....

Believe me, I'd really like to complete the Trinity but I need some time to catch my financial breath. This photography thing has zoomed (way way) past the $2000 I thought was my spending limit.

Not that I'm unhappy with my collection of glass, mind you :) I'm scouring the used equipment forums in hopes of finding one that looks like a good deal.

The 24mm is a fine lens that just doesn't get on the camera much. It's a "tweener"; too long to be a good wide angle on the 20D and too short for normal view usage, if that makes any sense. It's a noisy little guy too when it focuses. No faulting the image quality though...and f/2.8 to boot.

Cheers

Very nice threesome, pleased you have shot the 50mm, I want to upgrade my 1.8 to that nice 1.4

:)

[RbrtPtikLeoSeny]

Beautiful!!!!:D The best picture I've ever seen of those lenses. Makes me want a 50 f/1.4.:cool: Mmmm, so many beautiful primes!

[George Chew]

Greetings,
Since you like EF50 f1.4, here is another one. Enjoy...

[Michaelmjc]

Awesome shot. Come on no more! I'm begging you, I just spent all my money...oh well, I'm just gonna be broke for a while now. That 1.4 looks like a nice upgrade, and that 85 1.2 is calling my name :)

Sad part is that I ate the lens and stuck a well-done steak into the front of my camera. :)

PS - Don't tell Dante that I forgot the napkin!

That is so true...and proof that we are not right.:lol:

the gears are already turning for the next prime image. I don't think I'll invoke use of the Weber Grille for that one though.

Hmmmnnnn.....

Tom that picture sure made me laugh, too funny :lol:

Was sitting here trying to figure out why that first image posted by Mr RbrtPtikLeoSeny looked so familiar. And then it came (http://www.pbase.com/carltibbitts/image/45724921) to me.:confused:

[jesusdelallata]

Tom, that was really cool. I couldn't stop laughing.

This is not mine, but I think it' means something so I post it here.

[Andy_T]

But now for something completely different ...

Russian Tair-3 300/4.5 M42 lens in the 'Photo sniper' configuration

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=27796&d=1126476363

Maybe not the best choice as portrait or sports lens :lol:
Note the positively weird lens hood...

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=27795&d=1126476363

Unfortunately, the 20D is too large to mount the lens+camera on the shoulder stock with the M42 adapter :o
Haven't yet had time to build some kind of adapter, but I think it would work with the 300D or 350D.

Best regards,
Andy

Hehe, I know, I was kidding.;) It'd be fun to load up a 300 f/4L IS with two 2x t-cons just to see what 1200mm is like. It's the closest I'll every get.:D

[kawter2]

It's funny, a lot of people want super zooms..

I lust for a rectilinear 180deg fov

Beautiful! I'm becomming more and more tempted to upgrade. :-) Anyone feel like downgrading?;)

Why not get the 600mm and one 2X Tcon? Well actually nevermind, I cant afford the 600, and you're only 16 so I doubt you could either ;)

My father owns a 2x and a 3x TC for the old M42 screw mount lenses. So, just for fun, some months ago I tried to stack both of them between my camera and my MTO 500mm f/8, obtaining a monstrous 3000mm f/44 (actually 4800mm, with the crop factor!!!). It was like a blind telescope, with no contrast, no sharpness and a little CA. I shot some picture at noon in a sunny summer day and with the 350D placed on the balustrade of the balcony, but I was not able to obtain a single good picture, of course!

[Michaelmjc]

you'd need 3200 iso and a REALLY long shutter speed for that one. f44, haha thats nuts!

There are politics-designated forums, I believe this one is a photo forum,particularly the thread and section of the forum.
