Many use a soft makeup brush that you can purchase in a pharmacy. Blowing air through the soft bristles with a rocket blower will create a static charge and attract the dust particles. I use a ...

I have several Samyang lenses in A mount (for my A850) and use an adapter for my e mount A7ii. There will be no advantage to buying these lenses with an e mount. Samyang only extends mechanically ...

Take a look at rangefinder lenses. These are very small and work perfectly with steadyshot. I use quite a few m42 and Nikon F lenses with my A7ii and they also work perfectly with steadyshot. The ...

You got this lens for free. After reading up on this lens, I think that it's worth using.

Focus peaking would only work in live view.

I haven't noticed any difference with the final results which is what counts. Better adapters are just better machined with nicer finish and look, but if the cheap adapter fits properly you won't ...

Turn off auto focusing on your camera and that buzzing noise will stop. That noise is the mechanical AF mechanism on the lens mount trying to find the screw in your lens which would normally be ...

Russian lenses need to be compared to similar lenses from the same time period and not against more recent lenses. I have a lot of Russian lenses and many are quite good with a distinctive color ...

I use the Roxsen M42 focal reducer on my OMD-EM10 and have no problems with clearance. It fits perfectly in the mount.

I think that you need to experiment with overexposing and underexposing. Your shots are probably over exposed a bit because of the dark background around the stars and potentially the opposite if ...

The best I have ever used is the Super Takumar 85mm f1.9 (circa 1966). Get this and you won't regret it. I also have the Samyang 85mm f1.4 but prefer the Takumar for it's size, outstanding built ...

Nice composition. Love those pastel colours.

Since when are Zeiss lenses low tech?

All of the current Olympus micro 4/3 cameras offer the option of changing the aspect ratio in the viewfinder. When you process the raw files you are given the the option of using the cropped ...

Buy the color that you like. I prefer silver for this camera.

It all depends on the quality. I paid over a $1000 for my Zeiss 50mm f2 makro planar. Its worth it if you like to manually focus with a very precise instrument. This lens is extremely well built, ...

Such a great lens. I have the 1.9 version of this lens and it's an incredibly good lens; sharp wide open with beautiful rendering. Great shots as well.

It's an outstanding extremely well constructed lens. I use it as my normal lens on my Nikon DF. It is extremely sharp and renders colors beautifly with lot's of micro contrast. With a 2x crop ...

The Pentacon 135mm f2.8 is a later version and renamed version of the Meyer-Gorlitz Orestor 135mm f2.8. They are identical optically and mechanically (lots of aperture blades). The bokeh from ...

Are you kidding when you say 'it's not for serious photography'. Have you ever used a micro four thirds camera?
