ive been looking for a way to mount the GF1's 20mm f/1.7 lens on Canon EOS and am not finding anything.

Mizouse

probably wont work because the lens is designed to work with a 4/3 sensor. ie. the lens sits can sit much closer to the sensor.

srika

hmm. i dont see how something isnt possible - the adapter moves the lens away from the sensor gives it clearance.

Mizouse

its not about clearance. its about focusing, the way focus point of the light so it can hit the sensor properly.

srika

hmm but if a EOS lens can work on a 4/3, I don't see why not the other way around

Mizouse

because the EOS adaptor puts the lens further away from the sensor. so the focal point of the lens can hit the 4/3 sensor properly.

srika

well that stinks, guess Ill have to buy a 50 1.4 again.

Mizouse

best shown with how a lens works.



the focal point is where the sensor is placed in cameras.

with a 4/3 designed lens, the f is much shorter and cant be changed. thus you would never get an infocus image.

its all about physics

lol..... this is so crazy... there's this new breed of photographer so hell-bent on getting all of their verticals straight (I'm talking for architecture or interiors) that they'll do it to the point that the rest of the shot becomes totally WACK looking. But since they are OCD about verticals being straight, they don't notice that "other" side effect. Has anyone else noticed this on any shots? Or is it just me.

One thing though, T/S lenses can cause this to happen SOOC, with certain tuning. I'm not as perturbed by that, as I am when it happens via software distortion correction.

MWalsh9152

I havent seen such a thing yet. Can you provide some examples for the class?

is300eater

I'm NOT one of these guys, but I have to admit sometimes it does bother me, I'll fix it but not to a point where it affects everything else...

Here's example:
BEFORE


AFTER



Last night, when I was fixing this one, and realized that when the corner edge of the building was completely vertical, the rest of the picture was just f'd up, so I backed off on it.

srika

yeah, you're definitely not one of those people. I'd rather not post one of their photos - what I'll do is take my own and show you the effect on that. Stay tuned.

srika

nice flash tutorial. get some

So, I'm seeing a lot of unhappy, in some cases pissed off people that makers of iPhone/Ipad apps are now starting to make their apps for the Mac App store. I bet these are the same people that laugh at Mac users a few years back that were upset that they couldn't get software they wanted for their Mac's.

Oh Well, buy one or live with being on the other side now.

is300eater

sorry, it's probably old, but it's new to me. It's like a photography mindfuck

I shot the Charleston Marathon the weekend before last and still have a bit of numbness in my middle finger from the ackward holding position of camera on monopod for 6.5 hours. Guessing I pinched a nerve or something.

Anybody has one of those waterproof kitted P&S camera? I'm looking to rent it for 3 weeks.. It'll be used at my honeymoon trip. Willing to pay some for it, of course.

is300eater

annoying when people tag their photos in Flickr

"This photo falls outside your current SafeSearch filter.
You can click through to see it if you want."

and you click on it thinking you're gonna see some but it ends up to be just a normal picture

Mizouse

yea...

is300eater

I'm starting to get this a lot now when I go to export my photo to save... I have 3GB of RAM, but from doing some research, I don't think it's my outdated laptop... anyone else have this issue?

Mizouse

Do you have other programs running? I had issues with low memory cause I had too many open and one was bumming like 2gb of the 4 I have....

is300eater

yeah, I've pretty much closed everything... sometimes it'll give this message even if my Chrome browser is running, so if I close it, then I'll be able to export a few more photos, but then eventually, I'll get this message AGAIN

Mizouse

Restart?

How much HD space do you have left?

is300eater

I've been restarting as a last resort, but will only get about 5 photos before it starts up again. I've been saving the photos (when I can) to an external hard drive, it's 2TB

srika

try optimizing the database?

is300eater

I don't know what that means

srika

click File, Optimize Catalog.

Mizouse

What about HD space on your laptop? If its full maybe there isn't enough room for a large enough page file, meaning poor performance since you only have 3GB of RAM.

And yea maybe that thing srika said

is300eater

this didn't work

I'm going to unload some stuff and see if it helps
