The diffraction limits of optical lenses are independent of focal length and absolute aperture.

GESO - my first try at action/motorsport

A group or mates hired Wakefield Park racetrack just outside Goulburn NSW on Wednesday for a motorcycle track day. Last time I did a track day at that track, I had a 160kph (100mph) crash, so I didn't take part this time. Instead, I took the K10D and cheap Sigma 70-210 zoom and 'orrible Vivi

GESO: a budget shoot of a budget wedding

I posted a few pics from my wedding shoot, but I thought some might be interested in seeing the whole thing. Some might recognize the bride, as she has modeled for me many times. The groom is a friend as well. They're going to have a big wedding next summer, but they wanted to get married n

Re: I got a 67ii

Congrats on the purchase. I use the older 6x7 system. The three lenses I have - the 67 55mm f4, the Takumar 105mm f2.5, and Takumar 150mm f 2.8 - are all excellent and cover the spectrum from wide, to normal, to short telephoto. The 55mm and 105mm are really excellent, the 150 is maybe a tad le
