Notes: Team \u25fb \/ \u0394 ?\u00a0 That’s a play on the new Micro 4\/3 cameras.\u00a0 Small and light mirrorless cameras with detachable lenses, and the imaging power of traditional DSLR’s.\u00a0 Been running around with these as some fun options in the bag for a while now.\u00a0 The best thing about these Olympus and Panasonic cameras is that you can mount almost every lens from any era (via adapters) for different artistic purposes.\u00a0 When I was a kid, we liked Transformers and all the toys that you could swap out and add things to…
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Not knowing the exact lens mount of this Canon TV Lens V10x16 f\/2.2, I bought it anyway just to try out.\u00a0 It was close to being a C mount, but lacked the threads.\u00a0 We made some spacers with a hole pattern to match the existing one and found out through experimentation that about .5 inch worked for okay focus.\u00a0 The C Mount adapter was then drilled\/countersunk and pretty much now lives on the lens.\u00a0 Too bad the zoom servo motor doesn’t work, that would be a slick feature.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

On the wide end, the lens does hard vignette severely due it being made for a smaller sensor, but I like the look.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Zoomed all the way out and wide open the lens is really soft, with some curious swirly bokeh, but when stopped down it isn’t bad.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Next lens saved from thrift store purgatory is this Canon 50mm f\/1.4 FL II.\u00a0 Even older than the orphaned FD mount lenses, this one has a crazy long focus throw, but of course counter to what I’m used to on the Nikons.\u00a0 My brain has turned to mush these days, can barely remember how to add and subtract, and now I have to spend extra time to think of which way to twist lenses. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 The 2X crop factor actually makes it a good portrait lens.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Up next is a real C Mount lens, a Cosmicar (Pentax) 25mm f\/1.8 TV lens.\u00a0 Really small and the focal length is what I’m normally used to (50mm on FF).\u00a0 The vignetting of the lens is not that harsh, it’s like a realtime equivalent of the pinhole mode art effect.\u00a0 Every non m 4\/3 lens you mount becomes manual focus of course, but we like that sort of thing.<\/span><\/p>\n
