Just picked up the FE 55/1.8. Quick question for those who got it


You are right. The way that old lenses are valued are those with classic rendering with character, preferably smooth and creamy. Those appearing in magazines, art work, etc. There is no "swirly" bokeh in those publishing at all.

Subjective la. Keke.
 

Yes it is subjective. Happy will do lah.

Not shooting for competition or publishing anyway.

Happy shooting!

Ya lo. Just love yr own images shiok liao. Haha
 

I am considering off loading those lens I seldom touch also, and to spend more time shooting when it permit.... :sweat:

Was considering a compact cam with just a 35mm only....

Hahaha. Sounds like a RX1R. :-))

But read about Sony Kill switch so a bit concern....

But A7 with 35mm is sharper and more flexibility too, and can go 24-70mm F4...

KIV any BBB for now... Kill switch is different from occasional issues, that Canon also have.

Will wait and see how A7 goes....

Don't like the short product life cycle too...

Wah...really salute how you talk & debate on which system/combo, lens performance etc then managed to convince yourself not to get it. Just remember that there are no free meals, no perfection in life, and nothing last forever, except the satisfaction and memories of one's enjoyment in his pursuit of his/her hobbies and good things in life.

Come to think about it, i think Agfa might just have a camera that's built like a tank, cheap as hell and not likely to be superseded for a long long time, that might interest you?

Resources are limited, and Photography is a luxury...

I already have a 6D, a FF, so I am just considering a compact system for it worth....

We all go through our rational for purchase... of course, for some who have the might, they can have M9, etc... 2, 3 or more systems... and if they like to scorn others who cannot afford, then, it is also their rights, since they have "Make it" in life...

But life is not just about self indulgence, nor hobby, nor interest nor satisfaction. It is not uncommon for people to feel that way... when their world revolve around SELF only.... everyone have their own commitment, and their own story.

Our life have much more to just enjoyment, but how many of us actually try to find out our mission?

Materials, photo, cameras, good food, money, status, power, beauty, looks, body, etc are all nothing but distraction in our fleeting world... but it is not uncommon to see many enslaved to it....

I myself is just a journey man... seeking to understand more....

Behind every photo, it is a story. Behind every Nick here, it is a book of story. We do not know every fine details of all the stories here, and since we are here, it is fated perhaps, so let's just enjoy the fun and joy as we getaway from our physical world.

Do you want to use it for that long? seriously?

There's a few type of people. I would be in sentimental type.... as in more likely to keep things for sentimental values... like my first eos slr film. That is over 10 and going strong.

And use it till expired.

I shoot slides previously and itch to shoot it when I have time again.....

While I do not expect it to last forever..... the min is 5 years at least. My 400D still in use as of now.... my first dslr....
