In our monastery is now an exhibition of Czech film puppets for about last 60 years. There is unfortunately forbid to take pictures, but I have very special opportunity to take some pictures thanks to kindly permission of exhibition staff. I had not much time to do it, so I have only few pictures Sad
BTW This kind of taking pictures is exactly my cup of tea Exclamation You can spend hours there of taking pictures.

I think, it isn't he. This one looks like some officer. But you're right, it's scene from this story.

Fascinating! I love how you didn't have much time but still managed to take great photos and change the lens 4 times Laughing

Did you shoot high ISO with no flash? What camera did you use?

as his signature, he use canon 30D, same as mine.
how did you know he use high ISO, noise level is incredible, i guest about 200-400

Maybe Davidus saw a lot of cowboy's movies with Clint Eastwood, and at his belt, he has each MF Lens with Eos adapter mounted ? Smile

wow ! Davidus - you've recalled me some nice times ...

I have see some of these on TV when I was a kid!

So, let's go answer.
I have arranged this shooting some time ago. Because I live there, it was no problem for me to take some lenses. And of course tripod was used, so I used ISO 100. Not much time means for me about half an hour Embarassed
BTW I have only one M42 to EOS adapter.

Trifox: Yes you're right, I recognize him. I'm sure, you might also know two funny guys at #8 Wink

Of course, the guys at #8 are also famous in The Netherlands. I like their way to solve problems Smile

If you hadn't told us, I would have sworn that those pictures are screencaps of HDTV movies. The quality is that good.

A je to Smile

Wow, thanks.
I'm pleased you know them. It seems, that the Czech puppet film school (is it right in english?) is well known in world. I also have heard, that guys from Disney Studios came after WW II (not sure about it) to see, how they makes animated films here.

I didn't click to see the larger photos, doh! But yes, noise levels are good (ISO 100) but my 30D gives very good images at high ISOs too Smile

Yes, I think, these 8 Mpix Canon DSLR are great performers, even in higher ISO. What is your comparison with 40D? Especially noise level.
