austinallen Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 <p>I just purchased an old 65mm C lens off of ebay and was wondering if anyone had any images in your workspace using this same lens on an RB. I'm looking forward to shooting with it, I just want some ideas on the scale and scope this lens is able to capture. I with photo.net had a search option that allowed search by lens type!!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_s Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 <p>The ultimate photographic cliche, taken with an RZ and a late-model 65, X1 green filter. Uncropped, no USM, a little curves to tame the contrast. 65 is a friendly focal length on 6 x 7-- easy to use.<br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/9550706-md.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinallen Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 <p>Nice shot! Would you say you're pretty happy with the lens? Up until now I've only had the 150mm soft focus lens which can be a bit restrictive so I'm pretty excited to see what the world looks like through the 65.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_s Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 <p>Thanks Corey-- it's a picture that's been taken a hundred thousand times. The 65 is a nice focal length. To me it feels like a 'wide normal' and I find it easy to compose with it.</p> <p>Let us know how you get on with the new lens.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbcrane_gallery Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 <p>Hi Corey,<br> Well, the thread said 65, so I'll throw this one up with my 65-LA on the RZ. I like the 65 a lot. I can use my G3 bellows hood, it's very sharp, and as Dave said, on the wide-side of normal. A nice all-around focal length for my eye. It's bigger and heavier than the 110/2.8, but to me it's worth it. Have fun with your new lens and please report back with your findings.</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
