Share your shots taken using RF lenses on Mirrorless bodies

[Cactus jACK]

As in title... Do you want a thread to share shots taken using RF lenses on Mirrorless bodies?

First came, the m43, then the E-mount, GXR, CX, XF... many RF users may be using these digital bodies with their M or LTM lenses via adaptors (where nec). While it is not RF photography per se, it is still using RF lenses, be it 2x or 1.5x cropped.

There are lots of arguements "for" and "against", and I'm not going to make any more than I already have.

Simple poll...

Yes : I would like a thread where I can share / view photos taken using RF lenses on Mirrorless bodies.
No : I don't think there is a need for such a thread.
Hhmmm : I'm on fence on this one...

You may also comment below... for, not for, neutral...

Outcome may not be solely based on Y : N poll results, but results as well as comments will be taken into consideration in guaging the level of demand / justification.

Signs were encouraging that there was demand for a thread for to share your shots taken using RF lenses on mirrorless bodies. I have decided to close the poll.

Seeing that a bunch of you have already taken the initiative to show your support by sharing your pictures on this thread, let the sharing continue...

Yes y not!

 

[casiraghi]

it will simply be a thread on shots taken by mirrorless bodies using manual focus lenses.. why the emphasis on RF lenses per se since they arent used on RF bodies? They will juz be simply manual focus lenses on the mirrorless bodies, no difference to how SLR lenses work via adapters on these cameras. And there are already enough threads on mirrorless images, with and without manual focus lenses.

I personally think that SLR manual lenses are totally different from rf lenses. Manual focusing plays a very small part ya. The make, different characteristic, minimum focusing distance, size...etc etc.

I am liking this lens . Pity it is rather hard to find on its own.

But that aside, here are some I shared in the GXR thread in the Others Forum.

Personally, I use the camera for a fair bit of uses, such as concert photography and landscape. Here are some shots I took of a particular one by "Alvin and the Jazzmunks" that took place over the Christmas season at the Esplanade.
