All The Fun Things In the Christmas Stocking!

Post by John »

I've started this thread in anticipation so we can see what photographic goodies were in the Christmas stocking, so I guess that lets out all those jokes for a start..... :wink:

I am anticipating being allowed to try the Pentax Q Adapter. This allows use of DSLR lenses on the tiny Q mirrorless camera. There is a 5.5x crop factor, so the plan is to use the 100mm f2.8 Macro, which becomes a 35mm-equivalent 550mm f/2.8 Macro. That has some potential for wildlife and for very unusual perspective close up, provided the lenses are good enough for the quality to hold up.

It will be fun anyway! :-]
Best regards

Always ask yourself this question: “am I proud of this shot?” if the answer is “yes” then it doesn’t matter what anyone else says.

An added and very pleasant bonus was a subscription to National Geographic. There should be some photographic inspiration in there!
Best regards
