Wyoming B.S. Thread

I've read the FD lenses are a fairly good kept secret since they can work really well with the EOS even though most people hate on them... Sounds like you've got some fun stuff to play with! I've been scowering Ebay for a nice 55mm 1.2 lens on the cheap!

My dad gave me a 28mm too but the f/stop is busted ( I took it apart and noticed it's just sticking but couldnt fix it without likely ruining the lens so I just left it wide open)...

 

that doesn't surprise me..my problem is i can't stop read stuff on a screen..haha

Yea..life stress is getting to me too..

yea some like them..some don't..the 85-300 has the most appeal to me..the 35-100 is pretty much the same as my 18-135 once you add in the 1.6x and 1.4x crop..ha i mean..its not as wide and a little longer..but not a big enough improvement..

what crop does your adapter put on your K lenses?

55mm FD would be a 100mm when its all said and done..

 

I'm the same way. I wonder if some "over the counter" sleep aids would be a good idea...but I think I'll probably like 'em way too much:/

 

yea screw sleep aids..that shit is weird. I knew some girls that took em..they would text me in their sleep..was crazy

 

yea! it's weird to know people do that..i can't..haha have once..but that was after 4 hydros, two shots of some big pain killer and shot of morphine..but i don't remember a lot of that day honestly..damn kidney stones.

 

yea the text i was sending the GF at the time..made NO sense..haha

i knew a guy that would just scream and situp in bed..still totally asleep..freaky.

 

is the UG gone?

 

For the time being


EDIT: Holy shit! It is like gone gone now... It was just under lock down but it I can't find it now...

 

Whyyyyyyyy?

 

political stuff. Mostly due to one particular ass hat on here. but its gone yes.

 

K mount to EOS adapter ads no focal length change

Taken from another forum...
"I would go with Pentax K mount lenses over Canon FD lenses for one simple reason - there is no focal length multiplier. That is, a 50mm K mount lens is still 50mm when adapted to the EF mount, but there is a 1.25x multiplier when dealing with FD lenses. This may not be a bad thing at longer focal lengths, but is a problem if you're looking for a wide-angle lens."

ps that lens I was bidding on skyrocketed over $200 today Was hoping to get it, looked so nice for an older lens!

 

DAMN! i need some K lenses then..haha

and bummer man! i know there are some old lenses at the camera store here in town. I know i saw some FDs anyways..not familiar with Ks but i could look if ya want.

 

That would be sweet if you could look for me!!! It's the old Pentax PK bayonet mount that I have adapters for. I even got an auto focus confirm adapter that I hope works in the mail for 10$... It'd be nice not to have to guess on the right focus anymore so I hope it works well.

 

jesus if you can get K lenses with auto focus..im IN haha

 

it wont auto focus for you but when you twist to focus it will beep when you hit the focus spot. this is what I got \/ I first just got plain adapters and have been manually focusing but that gets kinda old haha.

Here's another one I might try if this one does not af confirm cuz its some cheap ebay bs...

This is the lens I bid on eirlier...

ah okay..well..still..a beep is better then nothing..but where does the beep come from??

dang that lens did look in good shape..

dang that second adapter is glassless..pretty cool..

also big event coming up for my crossfit gym..like huge event. Thinking of trying out rentglass.com and getting a nice zoom lens..not sure which one yet though..

 

70-200 2.8 !!! if they've got one haha. and yea all the k lens adapters are just rings.

as far as where the beep comes from, put ur camera in manual focus on the lens and then half push the shutter button and move the focus ring till it beeps, There's something built in that confirms when its focused and the adapter allows that to happen with whatever chip it has.

 

yea no kidding! not in stock right now..hopefully next week..but the 100-400 would be fun..

 

So many different lenses I want to try

 

so expensive..haha
