Took a walk around the neighbourhood yesterday:

For an older lens, the Nikon 60 micro (af-d) has almost no flare (1 spot was removed in post). Such a great micro option for mirrorless.

which adapter would you recommend?

I picked this one up:

http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Adapt...adapter+fuji+x


It works quite well. The AF-D has an aperture ring so I didn't need the G adapter with the "aperture control" (read: just an iris in the adapter). Unless you plan on adapting G lenses, there's no point spending the extra amount. The adapter itself is solid. Fits both camera and lens tight with no wiggling. I never once found myself worrying that the adapter would come off.

The only cons I find are that the adapter doesn't come with a "rear lens cap" (I bought one on ebay for $2), and that it makes even small Nikon lenses front heavy (that's the case for all FF adapters I guess). With an X-T1 that's less of an issue, but even my gripped X-E2 didn't help much in terms of overall balance.


Edit: I forgot to mention that I have used a friend's SpeedBooster. If you have Nikon glass, it's a pretty neat toy. But to me, it's just that. I wouldn't use many FF lenses just because it'll become too difficult to handle, but an 85 1.8 becomes a MF 56 1.2. If you had the lens already and needed that focal length and light gathering ability, then I can see it being useful.

Went all over Europe this summer and took all my photos in RAW :( I hope it wont take a whole year to process everything FML

Just one for now..

^^ I've learned over the years that for vacation shots in RAW, only work on the photos that you would deem a 4 or 5 out of 5. Going through hundreds of RAW files can be tedious, and at least for me, the majority of them are just snapshots that I can easily just "auto" and concentrate on the ones I think would look really good with some manual adjustment love.

Just my two cents.

I came across this video on youtube and after watching it, I decided to pick up a polarizer and see how it would affect my photos.


Woke up early and headed to Lynn Valley to see what I could do.

Walked around the Richmond Dyke for the first time in my life, I think.

after dinner tonight, the wifey and I walked around False Creek. I took the opportunity to do some long exposure shots as I haven't tried it with the new camera. Didn't have a tripod so had to make due with benches and railings. Very impressed with the dynamic range. With my old D90 I would get blown highlights.

So I have some of rcubed's manual focus lenses. This is taken with an Olympus OM 50mm f/1.4. The bokeh is awesome
