Default Trying "R"lenses on M8

Aswe get more familiar I am starting to look at the use of R lenses with the RF distance matching camerquest adapter. Lens is big, but adapter is easy to use
color depth is really great.
I am interested to compare to CV 15mm, which is only 1/15th the price!

Victor i have the normal adpter but was thinking of getting the one you can focus. i tried a the Oly 24mm with a 3 stitch the other day. Now if I could focus it . It would have been better . Maybe i will sell this one and get the expensive one at 350 so I can focus.

Dreaming of my 180 F2 on the M8. Holy smokes that would be hot

I tried it close in, and was pretty easy to match below 1 meter (need to guess a lot 1 to 10 meters as scale is 1m then infinity!)

hereis an inside shot at 640 and focus about 2ft away

then crop
not too bad

Victor should be able to get you a 800/5.6 shot on the M8.

By the way, Victor I just realized I still have your adapter. Send me a PM and I can send it back or send over a paypal payment.
