I picked up a cheap 50mm Nikon f/1.8 MF lens off ebay for like $30. Is it comparable in quality to the 50mm AF lens?

Brian Valente April 30th, 2005, 01:41 PM Michael - that was one of the best posts I've seen! Would you mind if I borrowed it for the Micro35 forum over at Redrock? I will give you full credit. Brian Brian Valente April 30th, 2005, 02:45 PM Brian I will buy your lens..can you send me pics please? obin@dv3productions.com Obin - your web site is the bomb! Everyone should check it out. Nice demo reels too! James Peterson April 30th, 2005, 10:06 PM Any lomo experts out there? Hoping someone can tell me if these lenses will work with the micro35?

Someone may want to cross-post this to the general Micro35 area? If you feel the link is gold, you may want to sticky it for a while? It's been a real boon for me, when considering dropping my hard-earned cash for a lens I haven't rented or tested before. Oh... hope I didn't P.O. any D100 users... but, the D70 (digital SLR body) has faster startup and image processing (I can fill up an entire fast CF 256mb card on large & fine JPEG at full motor drive speed without a hitch), a compression engine that is generally considered a little "smoother" than the D100, and (IMHO) a much easier to use menu structure. However, the D100 *does* have that nice vertical grip available... |
