A wonderful 35mm lens



BE7_4194, originally uploaded by gugs.


This lens is a hidden gem. Manufactured by Samyang, the Korean manufacturer (sold under the name Rokinon in the US), this lens is a manual focus lens delivering amazing pictures and excellent corner to corner sharpness even fully open (1.4). A remarkable performance for the price.

Chinatown



nyc-63, originally uploaded by gugs.

This is a simple pic shot with a Nikon D7000 in NYC (Chinatown) and post-processed with a tool called Flare on a Macbook, to give that old photo look. I also did some cross color processing to alter the colors in this one.

Objects


Objects, originally uploaded by gugs.

An interesting mood... a composition found during a family visit. I like the effect in the dark. The technicalities: Nikon D7000 DX body with the Tamron 17-50 2.8 lens, the result has been converted with Lightroom 3.4 (BW conversion and curve adjustment to enhance contrast and clarity)

Medium format


mf-1, originally uploaded by gugs.

for the real afficionados, an old (well not that old) Medium Format Pentax camera, with all the modern technology you can dream of in a standard film camera (AF, exposure compensation, A, S, P priority modes, excellent viewfinder. Only drawback (compared to a Hasselblad for instance) is that the backs (magazines) cannot be exchanged in the middle of a film roll.
