This is the last one for the Tokina in the series. I'm quite please with the images it produces (and for the price). There's still some Olympus 50 f1.8 to come, followed by some Pentax manual focus lenses.

E-P2 Focal Length: 0 mm Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/3200 sec ISO: 100 07/25/11 Tokina FD 24 f2.8 VColours aren't too bad in this one.
Where you have to watch with these manual lenses is when you have the sun in the viewer or very near to it.
That will kill the contrast for you. 1377

07/23/11 Olympus OM 50 f1.8 Auto-SFantastic lens. People have been praising the old Olympus OM lenses and now I know why. Just great quality with good contrast and colour.
Very easy to manual focus with these lenses.

07/23/11 Tokina 24 f2,8 in FD Mount Adapted for m4/3It's been a while again since I posted but work keeps getting in the way.
Anyway, as promised, I'm posting some images from a few legacy manual focusing lenses. I've only got one ad lens so far (but I'm going to have to retest that one) and all are great fun to use.
Let's start with the Tokina 24 f2,8 in FD mount.
Lacks some contrast but otherwise a good lens. A hood is a must with all these older lenses, so that is going to be my next purchasing priority. I think I'll go for the rubber ones that screw to the front of the lens. Problem with that is, if I have a hood on there what am I going to to about my filters. 1736

07/09/11 Minolta MD 35 f2.8This is my first entry for some time. Work has really kept me busy. Seems I'm now back in the land of the living. I've got a lot to catch-up on so lets get on with it. I've recently received an arsenal of manual focus lenses ranging from Olympus OM to Konica and Sigma, Minolta and Pentax and of course Voigtlaender. The latter really are quality made lenses. Unfortunately they are rather expensive. However, I will be testing all these lenses int he coming weeks and months and I'll post some images from all of them.
At teh end of it all there probably will be a gallery up just from these manual focus lenses. I prefer using my Olympus m4/3 cameras for this work. I seem to be able to focus a lot easier than with the Panasonic cameras. I don't use the magnification function, it just gets me confused. Really looking forward to the E-P3 and probably the E-PL3 (could be too small though).
Anyway, the first image here is with the Minolta MD 35 f2.8 lens. Quite nice actually. I'm looking for a lens in the 24 to 35 range that gives me the same image quality and contrast as my Yashica 55 f2 lens. I've seen some Yashica lenses in that range but they have a high price. All of my manual lenses cost very little which I bought on ebay (in the 8 to 35 Euro range).
