Hi Greg, great tip about looking behind you. Was taught that back in the early 80's, always look behind you and you'll see things from a different angle. Still do that today.

A three parter.... 1) A bit complex this one... the Fujifilm sensor is a X .80, so the 85mm would be about 68mm equiv. however, slide projector lenses don't gather light from the front, they gather it from the rear (to project light), so who knows what the 85mm or 100mm actually refers to... 2) My son in law does the CAD and printing of my adaptors. 3) I haven't noticed any, but then I haven't bothered trying much video with them.

Nice photos again! Is that a full frame sensor -- i e., are these 85mm equivalent as well? Do you make your own 3D adaptors, or does someone do then for you? Do you get colour aberrations if you film in colour?

The hype basically doubled the price.. However I already have a few I purchased years ago. Nobody cared back then..

I have a few of these compact cameras. A Canon, A Nikon and a Samsung. I almost never use the Canon. Why.. Because with the Canon I need to take out the battery and put it into the charger. With the Nikon and the Samsung they charge via USB cable, while I cam copying the pictures to the PC. So it is super convinient. These little things make a difference in real world. At least for a casual guy like me..

When I got an X-T2 I found myself using front button focus. Works really well. I have an H1 on the way and I might just keep on with front button focus. I also use autofocus similarly and rarely see the need for AF or CAF. While it’s nice to have a snappy focusing lens like the XF35 f2 it’s great using fully manual lenses and many times I prefer that experience.

Many Fujis are becoming collectors items - no wonder Matt ‘Mr Leica’ posted last week that he couldn’t understand why Fuji owners were willing to pay good money when they could own a Leica - even my XT 1 has gone way up in value !!

Those are all really nice shots!

Lovely shots and great work mate.

Adding "cake" would elevate it to Perfection Status 😉

I do love some Coffee Cars (and Cameras) ... 🦘

Crisp and nice! 👍

Thanks for the great idea, great images, and great video.

Would be fun to see in colors

Fascinating. You made me get my Kodak 1A Junior to double check the lens. It's an f6.7 127mm. Ah, the smell of old leather and nostalgia...

I have a vest pocket camera lens, a different version. I have used on my Canon M-50 cropped mirrorless camera. I have not tried restricting it like the original camera, will do so now. Working on trying to adapt it to my Canon FTB and Canon EOS 10S 35mm film cameras. Do like the photo I have taken with it so far.

Blimey Greg. You got some remarkable results with that little lens. Top marks for ingenuity.

Awesome !

Mechanical device to assist perception, imagination and sense of aesthetics. I love the film advance lever and the reopening mechanism.

Surprisingly good images ...🦘

I used to know 35mm cameras as "SF," small format. I didn't know "full frame" until it became necessary to distinguish from "crop sensor."

That is as vintage effect photography today as it was 100 years ago. Good exercise with a great outcome.

Beautiful pictures Greg

Proper vintage look to all of those photos, genuinely looks like the sort of old pictures from family albums or museums. Nice work :)

the 18 has worst fuji focusing and vastly OVERPRICED...Truly needs a REDO add LN focus and WR

A part of the video was shot with the camera in view being off (no change on the top panel window) w t heck

I can make good photos with my phone, but none that I actually want to. It doesn't do raw, and I don't have much control. I can make good photos with my EOS 30D, but live view on my 60D is a useful improvement. Arguably my 80D doesn't do much that my 60D doesn't but I like the flippy screen, and the focus tracking is useful and the AF is outstanding. With my eyes, that matters. I misunderstood the "benefits" of fullframe cameras when I bought a 6D, by the time I lost it I had a collection of TS-E lenses, and for me those are important enough I needed a replacement. At the time, the cheapest replacement was a 5Ds. I sold the 5Ds after I got a cheap Lumix S1R with which can make every photo I could with the 5Ds, and a few more besides. And it has some nice convenience features. Mostly though, I use 20 Mpx Lumix G and Olympus cameras which can make photos I could not make with the 5Ds which is what I was using in 2019. I might buy an OM 5, I'm not as strong as I used to be, and hope it will fit into a pocket, maybe with a lens attached. If not the OM 5, then its immediate predecessor.

Some really nice photos here Greg! Quite arty too, especially those last ones mate✌️🇦🇺

Ten second video clips might be interesting to a museum or NLA, someone who records history.

My favorite of the photos is the thumbnail/splash pic of the tree. And thank you for your post. :) Be safe, sir.

Capture the moment ? 🦘

Nice video, you still rocking with that X70? :)

You're very sweet, really liked your video and helped me in taking the decision to buy this lens or not! Thank you

Wonderful idea to use good old Glas :) Do you have IG or email to contact you?

I will not judge your talent as a photographer because I do not feel authorized to do so, but I can say with complete certainty that your honesty and humility are rare on these networks. I feel very grateful for your generous lesson.

I have this sigma but hood gone

Super nice Greg, great shots and you really nailed the Milky Way. Looks a little scary there at night, please be careful moving about.

Persistence pays, obviously. I like the results. And your explanations.

Love my ttartisan lenses. The 25mm f2 was my first. I also own the 35mm f1.4 and 50mm 1.2. Have my eye on the 17mm f1.4. I know not everyone is into manual focus but I’m having a great time. Having a Fujifilm with exposure triangle and other features at my fingertips (X-T1 & X-T2) with manual lenses is like driving a sports car instead of a luxury car. Not for everyone I’m sure but great experience.

Great video! Unfortunately the lens that you are using is no longer cheap.

I have to admit, it's great watching the videos again and you get more from the images that you may have missed on the first go. This time I figured out what to say. These particular images seem like they are alive if that makes any sense, and it makes you want to just jump in and swim. I have only one such image in my files and it was from my Olympus E500 down at the Hook beachfront. I was gunning to make a Kodachrome shot which I love and when I looked at it I said .. yup .. Kodak CCD Oh Yeah. Not quite as good as Greg's but in all honesty this one could hold the tail wind.

Super nice Greg, saw them on my tablet, even more stunning on my big screen TV. I can't wait to do some more long exposure shots. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you could hand Greg a pink kiddie camera off Amazon and he can take it and make it sing. Thanks again for sharing, The shots with the stars really have a magical quality to them, spot on getting the moon in the one frame.

Looks more like a horseman/woman or their horse than an eagle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦅

Nice work. Loved how you talked us through 'working the scene' Hey-ey-ey Good old Eagle Rock is here to stay I'm just crazy 'bout the way we move Doin' the Eagle Rock

Wow Greg, you really turned up the heat on these, absolutely beautiful stunning shots. Thanks so much for sharing and showing how cool the Australian landscape is. I love long exposures, but none of mine are even close to these. I gotta try the dark thing.

Beautiful sunrise shot. I went SCUBA diving somewhere around there many years ago, I can attest to how steep the climbs are after lugging all my gear down to the "beach" from the car park.

Awesome

Great effort for an excellent sunrise shot.. BTW is that you squeaking or your kit 😅

Wow Greg, amazing long exposure shots and in the dark! How on earth do you work out the exposure times🤔✌️
