Hello all,
After having received my soooooo long awaited lens adapter this morning, i took on the fly some pictures in late afternoon just for tests purpose. My very first serie. that's also the first time that i test my E-P2 camera. I will have a bunch of question for our pen experts ! because i'm not sure of my general parameters.
No PP on pictures except some modification on light intensity, resizing and frame.
Hexanon 28mm /3.5
Hexanon macro 55m /3.5
Hexanon 50mm /1.4
Hexanon 50mm /1.4
Hexanon 50mm /1.4
Hexanon 50mm /1.4
Hexanon 28mm /3.5
Hexanon 50mm /1.4
Hexanon 50mm /1.4
Sky a bit cloudy and light not so good. I have to test the rest of my lenses. And hurrah i bought 2 days ago for around 250$ three new lenses including the 21mm F4 (yes , oh my !), 135 F2.5 and a 65-135 zoom. not received yet.
I'm a total amateur and eager to learn a lot.
PS: I'm sorry i did a mistake by uploading the original picture size and not the set i prepared rsized to 1024...

They look pretty good; nothing to really ask questions about, I agree. It seems you know how to work with this lens pretty well. On the last image, if you get a chance to revisit the subject, it might be a good study in monochrome.

Great! I have just ventured into the Hexanon world (thanks Attila, Ian and others), but on a Nex. I am finding the hexanons need great care in exposure, because they can be too contrasty too easily. Have you found this?

Fine to see here another friend of old Konica lenses. The fan community is increasing with different type of cams.
Nice images and I would like to see your first shots with the 21 mm lens.
Welcome to the forum.

Thanks all for your remarks
@rbelyell no believe me i have a lot to learn !
@David , yes good suggestion. It's a commemorative statue of the 1st world war. And the guy is commonly called a "poilu" ."eye blink" to poilu 
@patrickh i just started some tests. I have to write down the exposure and parameters for each shot so that i can compare and find the best configuration.
@Rolf I will surely post shots with the 21mm once i get it.
More to come. Today is a sunny day and i continue my exploration.

An other little serie. I run out of battery after around 150 shots (since yesterday) 
I still got a problem with focus, it's not so easy to do specialy with moving subjects , i deleted a lot of flower shots. I have also to add a baffle to my lenses rear. (is "baffle" the right term ? ) small piece of dark paper , round cutted, to limit the light on the captor.
Hexanon 135mm f3.2 @3.2 . not enough focus on the insect.
 [/url]
Hexanon 135mm f3.2 @3.2 , water play
Hexanon 135mm f3.2 @3.2 water play, interesting effects i think.
Hexanon 135mm f3.2 @3.2 (not sure)
Hexanon macro 55mm f3.5 @3.5 , blur
Hexanon 135mm f3.2 @3.2 , Simple and classic bokeh test.
Hexanon 135mm f3.2 @3.2
Hexanon 135mm f3.2 @3.2 , green cherries , good in one month
Hexanon 135mm f3.2 @3.2
Hexanon 50mm f1.4 @4 , not a very easy lens..
Hexanon 28mm f3.5 @3.5 . Will soon have a 24mm 2.8 (bought one today).

nice series, I especially like the clouds with the 28mm. I also like the water effects with the 135
I think the statue would be better if you stopped down a bit, it is a bit flat for my taste and I think stopping down would improve the depth.
