Default Playing around with a new camera and some old lenses

As regular readers will know, I recently bought a Canon 5D but currently don't have any native EOS lenses. However, a 99c adapter all the way from Shanghai allows me to use my trusty Olympus OM lenses (in manual mode), and it's a lot of fun getting 'back to basics' (at least until I finally get an auto aperture auto focus lens in my grasp...).

1. Olympus Zuiko 50mm f/3.5 Macro - still can't resist those dandelions...


1. Tamron 90mm f/2.5 Macro


3. Tamron 90mm f/2.5 Macro - Tulip

Cheers guys. Glad you liked shot 1. The Zuiko 50mm macro has a great quality to it. It's a complete blast being able to play with that and the other lenses on the 5D as it's as close to my old 35mm way of shooting, but with the instant rewards (and disappointments) of digital. I'm loving it!

Yep Yep... *I bow for the n. 1 as well * *Great colours, great close

But n. 2 worked much more with me... It has a great deal of painting atmosphere. It rocks!

Thanks Marcelo - I think nbr 2 is my favourite as well. The late afternoon light was lovely that day.

#1 would be great in a super large size!

Canon camera and Olympus glass - Sounds like the best of both worlds.
