Well, I decided to see what this lens can do in low light, so here's one
about a half hour before dusk:



and some lens p0rN taken with Canon G2 with offcamera flash:

Bill, the lens is splendid looking! What a monster -- but a beautiful monster it is.

The image of your pickup is smooth and rich. I love the way the lens picked up the red. Also, just plain "creamsickle" coloration all the way through.

Thanks, Orio and Larry, I'm very happy to have this lens and hope to
use it more when the weather improves!

Patrick, is there a problem with your lens?

Thanks, Richard and Simon, I hope to put this lens to good use very
soon--if the weather would hurry up and start being spring!

Yes, it's quite the lens! I'm rather pleased with the way the p0rN pic
came out, I shot it one-handed with the other holding the TTL flash
up close to the ceiling for bounce. It was connected to the cam via
TTL flash cord.

I had severe yellowing and it has been trying light from a weak UV lamp and any sun we had for the past month. Nearly done

VGR,
Beautiful girl, beautiful pics! Shocked Very Happy I, Katastrofo, shoot Olympus.
I used just a mechanical adapter from Asia, I think it's Roxsen, not
sure. I need to get chipped adapters from you for M42 and Nikon.
I've always wondered if I could use TTL flash program with chipped
adapter..(?)

By the way, my initials to name is WGR. Wink

dakoo, if you live in the US, it is difficult to get a reliable copy of this
lens. I was lucky enough to get a proven lens from Orio, who decided
to sell one of his.
