Thanks Laurence. The cat was taken through a patio door, she was lying in the sun patch but as the light moved she had not yet repositioned herself to the centre. So I grabbed the camera and tried first with my Olympus 25mm pancake but it was too short. The 50mm which is 100mm on my camera was just right. It handled the scene well retainin a lot of detail on the cement floor.
The fern was another shot where the light was just right. A lot of my photography is spur of the moment when the light is right I just grab a shot. |

I get a lot of practice with the cats. They are not the easiest of models. However as long as you do not try and get them to strike a pose they are OK. |

I prefer B&W for most shots too, it is what I learned to shoot with. I am enjoying using Nik software for my conversions. I find it enables me to get just the look I am after most of the time. |

Good work, you have to tell us more on the conversion details (how you did it).
Thanks for sharing!

Rino, I have the middle era one. I am not sure if there is any difference in the first two shown other than cosmetics.
Earliest with EE
Middle with AE and with 1/2 click on the f-stops
Late with AE but no 1/2 clicks and revised design.

Jes, I am planning to put together a little instruction sheet for the method I use with the brass rings I sell. I'll send you a link to the file when I get it ready.
The main things to be careful of are not to get any brass shavings in the lens or camera. Make sure you work slowly and carefully and do not force anything. Also on the 50mm/1.7 the baffle is aluminum and this can short out the contacts on the camera. The 40mm you have is plastic so no problem. Some folks make a revised baffle with a smaller opening. I haven't done so yet, but will experiment with it at some point. |

Rino, I revised the photos. I mistakenly posted the first image twice.
I think the last one is not as desirable, if anything because they cheapened the construction also the front element is less recessed and more susceptible to flare and I have found the later lens to be less contrasty. |
