yeah good to know my lens isn't faulty, I guess like you say its just adjusting to the conditions. Such a shame about the lens as it would be an awesome piece of kit if it had constant f 2.8 capability - did you see Stevens almost macro example? Looks great, I'm going to try that profile he used by Richard. Got an in-camera edit to do soon so a sweet profile would really help. Time to buy another prime soon - Rokinon 24mm cine I think.

Hi Dave

I really like the image I used to get on my Minolta cameras so I'm hankering after so vintage Minolta MD lenses..the adapters are pricey but sheesh you can pick up MD lenses like a 50mm F1.4 with really stunning glass for as little as $50 on eBay ... the glass used on old MD lenses was made by Leica I believe and is really worth looking at!! I had a pair of Konica Minolta Dimage 7H still cameras and despite being on 5 mp resolution the lenses on those cameras were hard to beat!!!

I dunno a 17-135 F2.8 constant zoom would really make me happy!!

Let us know how the 24mm works ..I feel very restricted with primes but I still use them but mainly Nikon so I can use 'em on my still cameras too!!

great tip, I'll check ebay for some of that glass, it sounds awesome. I'll check the adaptors first. I'll let you know when I get the 24mm, or maybe I won't need to ;)

It's all about the glass my friend... and nice to own multi purpose lenses. Primes are kinda new to me but I love em, they make a big difference - but useless for live events etc, unless you got back-up cams. I've not found anyone I trust yet... lol
