Having tried this before with a Fuji s100fs I got very poor results. I was advised I'd need much better quality gear to get anything from this environment. On getting the NEX I quickly realised the kit lens was no where near fast enough in this light so grabbed the Zuiko and went for it wide open. I think the softness is acceptable for 1.8 but not got a lot to compare it with though mind you

Very nice results, I think these are excellent. Nice to see catch still being practiced up in Scotland, my grandfather was from Wigan and was a pretty good wrestler in the 1920s. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Thanks guys, Didn't realise catch wrestling went so far back! This is No Gi BJJ but similar to catch, its getting VERY popular there was guys from all over the uk there despite the weather causing poor travelling conditions at the time. Going to another in Edinburgh tomorrow will maybe give the helios a shot! _________________ http://www.flickr.com/photos/caledonia84/

Decided to try the faster Yashica 50mm 1.4 and wider Hexanon 40mm 1.8 in the same environment. the Yashica renders colours nicer in my view but is much more difficult to use than the Konica. Saying that the Yashica is usable wide open where as the Konica definitely is not in this environment, it gave an odd glow to shot and really was too soft.
