Used to live on Race street. That was 60 years ago. Didn't take any pics there this trip. Couldn't even find Coney Island this time through. What was it Thomas Wolfe said???

No post on this, I liked it just as it is. All critique greatfully accepted.

I just gotta know, what camera, lens, f/, mm, etc. I am just dipping my toe in the IR pond with a Canon PowerShot G6 modded to full spectrum using variety of 720,850, and 950 Neewer filters. Can I get the clarity your getting with my cheap rig?

OK. By definition a Macro lens is Prime and the image on the sensor is the same size as the object. On an APS-C crop sensor, that ain't very big.
So, why is my Tamron 28-300 and my Sony 75-300 labeled as "Macro"? That has always baffled me.
I appreciate your feedback.

You really set the bar pretty high.

Hi there, I'm interested in playing with vintage cameras just for the fun of it. I have an old Kodak Retina 1a and a Minolta HiMatic 7s that I play with. These are fixed lens cameras. I could have an interest in playing with a system consisting of multiple lenses. I'm on a social security budget so I don't know if this might be out of range for me financially. What are the Tamron adapter lenses? Is that something to adapt like a Nikon lens to the Konica? Or are they some kind of Tamron lens that has an adapter to fit the Konica? I have an old Minolta 7000 that has no lens. I'd love to pick up a good lens for that. I only paid $10 the the 7000. My direct e-mail is jmccl@yahoo.com. I only get daily summary from UHH.

Are you aware of the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts here in Tampa? www.fmopa.org There is a group associated with the museum (The Photo League of FMoPA) which meets monthly that might be of interest to you.

A feature that sold me on my A550 was the in camera HDR. Never used it. Thanks for reminding me it was there. I gotta give it a go some day, assuming I remember past clicking on "Send".

I'm with Erv. This sets the bar pretty high for me. That duck is A-W-E-some.

This got me the best laugh in years. I guess I'll go

You obviously have not yet lived long enough to come to the realization that there is NO "changing of the femine mind" - unless of course they initiate the change! ! ! :roll:

I hesitated on buying the stuff and by the time I went back somebody else scarfed it all up. :cry:

I picked up a Retina 1a a few months back - no meter - no focus prism - just using my guess for focus distance, shutter and f/stop based on sunny 16. Here's a result of my first day out. It was fun to use my instincts for a change and not rely on electronics.
