11/09/12  CV 50 f1.5 on the OM-DI had to take a photograph of this because the wife told me to. It's a s simple as that. For those of you who haven't seen one of these before, it's a floating bbq platform. These guys were just going up and down the river enjoying a bbq. I thought it rather fun (the wife too).
This is the last post about this lens and about the OM-D for awhile. Next comes another new lens, again off ebay for a pittance. It's the Konica 135 f2.5. 1543
E-M5 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/3200 sec ISO: 200 11/08/12  CV 50 f1.5 on the OM-DJust a couple more posts about this lens. This was taken when the band was having a break so I had plenty of time to concentrate on this set of drums. I just liked the lighting at the time so I took a couple of shots to ensure I got a sharp one. I never take just one shot of anything (except when the camera is on a tripod and the light is fading fast). 1508
E-M5 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/160 sec ISO: 800 11/07/12  CV 50 f1.5 on the OM-DTowards evening I got stuck with this band. Moving was not on the cards and I got a seat quite close to the band. I found out why as they started the next song. I had the main loudspeaker right in front of me and, believe me, it was loud. Nothing I could do about it though, it was the only free space in the house. Again, good music. 1317
E-M5 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/160 sec ISO: 800 11/06/12  CV 50 f1.5 on the OM-DYou can use this lens not only for portrait shots but for all sort of things. What struck me here with this shot of leaves floating down the river was the colour accuracy. The OM-D got this right and the rendition of the lens is wonderful. 1179
E-M5 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/250 sec ISO: 200 11/05/12  CV 50 f1.5 on the OM-DThere's quite a few bandstands around the river Main during the weekend, but they're so spread out that they don't interfere with each other. I spent around an hour with each band before moving to the next and I continued to do this all afternoon. When evening comes though, doing this is an impossibility because of the crowds. An estimated 3 million people attended during the weekend and moving around is a real problem. 1342
E-M5 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/125 sec ISO: 400 11/04/12  CV 50 f1.5 on the OM-DNot only did I have fun taking a boat load of images, the music was pretty good too. 1433
E-M5 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/500 sec ISO: 200 11/03/12  CV 50 f1.5 on the OM-DI really enjoyed myself during these bands playing. It gave me time to refine my focusing technique as well as testing how much DOF I get with each stop. As you can imagine they don't move a lot during these performances and it does give you time to test a few thing out. 1464
E-M5 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/500 sec ISO: 200 11/02/12  CV 50 f1.5 on the OM-DThe following images show what this lens is capable of. I like the rendition it gives and dare I say I can see some "Leica-ish" quality to the images. This is where you can take your time focusing on what you require and just leave it at that. Stop down a couple of stops and as long as the light doesn't change just snap away when you see something interesting. 1239
E-M5 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/640 sec ISO: 200 11/01/12  CV 50 f1.5 on the OM-DThis image is just to prove that I did get more than one image in focus during the hour that I spent photographing this event. This lens is really made for close up photography and not made to be a landscape lens. More images to come showing what I meant by that statement. 2570
E-M5 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/500 sec ISO: 200 10/31/12  CV 50 f1.5 on the OM-DDuring some celebrations in Frankfurt I had the chance to test 2 lenses. One on the Olympus OM-D and the other on the NEX-7 body. The first few posts will contain images from the CV 50 f1.5 (Nikon mount) adapted for the OM-D. The first one is showing some boats taking part in the BMW Sailing Cup. Boy, I didn't know how seriously these people take their sailing. I'm sure it came to blows on a couple of occasions.
Anyway, I really found it to be a challenge to get the right amount of DOF as well as getting the right point of focus that I thought best. I must admit I had to throw out a lot of images this time but I still got some keepers. 1902
