shambrick007 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 No question, just happy. 5D arrived on Wednesday!<p><img src = http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/4390888-lg.jpg> <p>5D, Zenitar 16/2.8. Viva la full frame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenPapai Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Nice shot! Now hurry up and put on the missing rear lens cap on that poor lens on the table next to that food! Looks like several camera aficionados gathered. Can you meter fine with the 5D and a manual lens? Do you manually stop down the lens and then adjust shutter speed?

shambrick007 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 "Nice shot!" - Thanks!<p>"Can you meter fine with the 5D and a manual lens?" - In Manual and Av mode, yes. Exposure comp is required in some cases. <p>"Do you manually stop down the lens and then adjust shutter speed?" - In Av mode, just stop-down and the camera sets the shutter speed.

lovcom_photo Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Sheldon, the lens end cap man! What you thinking? Nice shot, by the way. Watch out for CR on that lens however...true on the Canon one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacy Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 YAY! I'm crazy for the 5D :) Enjoy yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_austin Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 This image also shows a second lens literally being used as a paperweight, to hold down the check! Are those torsoless legs at the bottom of the shot yours, or are you standing above that person? (I would suspect the latter.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellavance Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I've just received mine, and have just tried it on my 5D. I have noticed heavy vigneting (even at f/8) especially upper left, and also a little at lower right. Is there a problem with my lens?

david_philips Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Pierre, I believe the vignetting you're seeing is caused by the lens hood being slightly out of position. Does your version of the Zentiar use an M42->EOS adapter? If so, make sure the lens is fully tightened down. For details see <a href="http://photonotes.org/reviews/zenitar-fisheye/">this</a> - section "Problems with this lens and an EOS camera". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellavance Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 David, The lens has no lens hood... and it has a built-in EOS Mount. I'll look at the website you referred. Thanks. Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourfa Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 there is a built-in hood of sorts... just a ring that shadows the two long edges of the scene. There are some set screws that allow it to twist, loosen those and straighten the hood. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellavance Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Thanks. I'll try rotating this "hood". Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neild Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Pierre, I've read somewhere that different fisheyes have differently sized image circles. Yours (by that I mean your brand of lens) may have a slightly smaller circle. You'll just need to crop it out. It should be the same on every photo for each f-stop (the fuzziness of the shadow will vary with f-stop). In other words, don't worry - there is no problem with your lens!

luis alvarez torres Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I'm just wondering; If you have a 5D and there is no other camera in the picture, then why do you need all that film that is on the table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellavance Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I've contacted the dealer and he recommended that I do not try to play with these screws, and return the lens for exchange. I also prefer this solution. Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
