I need more Instax film - I've burnt through the 30 I brought back with me. I have a friend in Japan who I'm going to convince to send over a couple of hundred slides

Will post a snap of the shots it's taken when I get home - makes me feel very Terry Richardson

Edit: that's not to say the images are in any way explicit, unfortunately

Must shoot more timelapse one day..

^ awesome.

Just got my fat fingers on the Samsung NX10. It's quite impressive! I'm shocked about the sensor quality, too - reports seem to indicate it's closely related to the K-7's.

vindicator · 8th April 2010, 5:24 PM

^ Pretty impressive from what I've seen. How does it handle? How is the VF?

This was impressive:

NX10 + SAMSUNG 30mm f/2 vs K-7 + PENTAX FA31mm f/1.8 AL Limited vs K-7 + PENTAX FA35mm f/2 AL

Handling is crap compared to a proper SLR, it's mostly menu-based. Not my style. Would be decent if you weren't a constant settings-monkey like me maybe. The VF is exceptional - better than the G1 that I can compare to. Did notice a little bit of flickering, but maybe that was from the overhead fluoros. The 30/2 seems competent, but I'd be wary of anything claiming it was FA31 quality.

Just thought I would post in here, as a new thread isn't necessary. But just a few minutes ago I got a chance to use the Sigma 50/1.4 for the first time since I got it. and I have to say, OMG... I am speechless.

There was some slight back focusing at first(only noticeable at f1.8, was all not noticeable at f2. Only took 20 seconds to adjust However. Bokeh at f1.4 is so smooth, and at f1.8 it runs rings around my old plastic-fantastic-nifty-fifty. When it's stopped to f2, sharpness is fantastic, and at f2.8, it's just bloody scary how sharp it is. Focusing is fast and spot on, and manual over-ride works just as on any L glass. Build quality is top notch, and with a U filter on the front, It looks like SEX on the front of my 5D2

i love timelapse and have some good ideas for it but its so troublesome. gotta be on location for so long (dont trust leaving my camera alone) and then the processing is a pain too

I very much want to pick up the 30/1.4 for entirely these reasons. Got any pics to share with us!?
