miky Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Just the lens and VF mounted on a Bessa L body (VF centered with the lens). I never use any filters, not even UV (I never saw the need for a $30 glass on a $600 or more lens that brings 2 more reflective surfaces in the system). Film is always Fuji (Reala or Velvia 50 mostly) for color and Ilford (XP2) for B&W. Vignette is still visible but I try to "defeat" it choosing a better light angle and a smaller aperture value (8 or 11 for this lens). I test all my lenses before extensive shooting in the studio with controlled lighting. This way I know there capabilities and limitations and live with that. I've been through a lot of lenses in my life but used only few right now. I'm selling a chrome model (xmas gift) because I bought and still using a black one. Before I bought it I couldn't find any photos shot with it to give me an idea of how good or bad it is. So I took my changes and I'm more than satisfied with it. Please remember that I'm using a Bessa L with VC 15/4.5 permanently mounted on a bracket with a flash for indoors, groups, etc so I know both lenses in every aspect. But as Dante Stella said "...it won't make you take better pictures. That comes from inside." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
