Hi everyone, Just joined the forum and this is my first post! Last summer I shot a whole bunch of footage with a borrowed Sony A7R II and a Soligor 135mm f/2.8 T-mount lens mounted via a T-mount to E-mount lens adapter, and here's the finished product. I made a couple rules for myself on this one: only static shots, compose the subject to the center and try to only capture images that personify summer. I wanted the footage to look like 16mm so I added HolyGrain 16mm grain in post. This was a highly experimental project, but I feel like it turned out pretty well. Let me know what you think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxGB3Nw3GCM

I read with interest the ad for of the kickstarter campaign that is mentioned in the Sony Alpha News today 10.Aug. Usually I keep my opinion to myself but for this one I really have to say it. The Meyer-Görlitz Lydith 3.5/30 is everywhere on eBay for ~100US, if you want to dig deeper select Ebay.de and you may find even more. That is for their targeted list price of 1500 USD. Next for the magic: I have this lens since some time, I hardly use it but still want to keep it because 1) 30mm is unusual 2) it is nor razor sharp 3) it tends to be flat because of a very large d.o.f. I haven't yet experienced the "magic" of the lens nor was I aware of that such a thing ever existed. Maybe with the mini focal distance of 35cm one can take a shot of a flower and leave the backdrop blurred... So: You want to unleash the magic? Get if from eBay , the _real_ thing made in Germany etc etc etc. Yes this is my opinion, albeit strong. Let me hear yours.
