    @Adam_Mercier Great color on those shots, are they SOC or edited? Is the spherical bokeh ball effect caused by the speedbooster?

  • Adam_MercierAdam_Mercier

    They are edited, I do not shoot jpeg any more haha! I edited the post I made a mistake the two shots where the takumar, this shot is the Chinon : https://scontent-a-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t31.0-8/1243394_10152454566219617_6230990030464954991_o.jpg

    The spherical bokeh is a combinaison of both the lens and the speed booster

  • tylerknighttylerknight

    These are some of my favourites over the past year or so!

    Mostly GH3, but a couple of GH4.

    Canon FD 50mm f1.4 with RJ Speedbooster as well as Pentax Macro-Takumar 50mm F4

    People don't believe me when I tell them what cameras I used to take these.

    Did not nail focus on the first 3, and the exposure was too high on the 2 in the business park, though that was because I was wide open without an ND. Just gotta keep practicing.
