jaapv Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share #21 Posted October 1, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) You say "cleaning kit." Does it include a Visible Dust sensor loupe? I've found mine to be invaluable, and they're reasonably priced. JC Doesn't work too well by a parafin lantern.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guy_mancuso Posted October 1, 2007 Share #22 Posted October 1, 2007 Man that took a couple drinks after that one. Being a Pro is not all that it is cracked up to be sometimes. The rifle guy needed to shoot me with the tranqualizer. LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share #23 Posted October 1, 2007 Quite... I guess I need to explain things more fully here... If you've ever used a Viso, they are to say the least, somewhat awkward --- even the Viso-III. So there are some subjects I feel a DSLR and long zoom are simply better suited to than the M8 --- and this would be one of them. Also one where I would carry the other cam in lieu of trying to force the M8 into work... If I was tight for space, I might otherwise take the 135 APO for the M8 and call it good (long) enough. Cheers, I've been using Visofles\xes since 1970 - on safari as well. Mind you, if the R10 is anything I like.. I've got my dealer looking out for a 105-280 Telyt....

jaapv Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share #24 Posted October 1, 2007 Please don't under estimate what a 135mm can bring home. yes a little tough to work with but it is a sweetie. I shot a portrait with it that is so damn sharp i had to use a LOT of guassian blur. Scary sharp. Okay a 100 percent crop and i mean NO SHARPENING Than the final after A LOT of airbrushing. I shot this at 5.6 For wildlife, 135 is a wideangle lens... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carstenw Posted October 1, 2007 Share #27 Posted October 1, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Man that took a couple drinks after that one. Being a Pro is not all that it is cracked up to be sometimes. The rifle guy needed to shoot me with the tranqualizer. LOL That lens is too harsh sometimes. She looks nice enough, but is clearly beyond the stage where an Apo lens is the best for portraits (as am I). Btw, I find it surprising to see such pale skin on someone living in Arizona!

jaapv Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share #28 Posted October 1, 2007 Chicken. LOL You know I'm joking Jaap With this young lad, being a chicken would have been even worse. He was at about 30 meters, and I was not about to break cover the lens was a 70-200 on an APS-C camera, and it was plenty short... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it can be harsh in a portrait like that , bad makeup too though which made it even worse. I need some nice models to shoot been too long:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
