Timber Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I was hesitating since a long time about buying the 34.5mm-52mm step up ring as the price is really not justified and this item is just way too overpriced, but since he's the only on the market making these rings I left with no choice than biting the bullet (or as we say in Hungarian: swallowing the frog) So today at work I had a few minutes to try the EL-Nikkor 80mm f5.6 I had for a long time (I actually have two, but only one M39 ring) so I've snapped a few selfies. Well it was not easy as the weather was overcast and on top of that I was sitting in my security cabin, with one window front of me (behind the camera) and the door just next to me, so not much UV light. I used my phone to check when I am in focus (was a lot of guess work) and to control the camera. I had to raise the iSO to 3200 and had to use 1 second shutter speed with aperture wide open (f5.6)Camera: A7II FSLens: EL-Nikkor 80mm Filter: U360(2) + S8612(1.5) Since I am using 1 second shutter speed I thought to spice up the picture by moving my eyes left-right... became a bit more creepy (than I am normally) Link to comment

Andrea B. Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Nice to see the El 80 used for portraiture. You know I have not yet ever had a UV portrait made of myself. There is a sunscreen snapshot of me somewhere. But I'm afraid to see how I look in UV. :lol: I know, I know, I'm being silly about it. Link to comment

nfoto Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Some years ago, when I still was the "Fierce Bear of the North" .... Nikon D3200 (internal Baader U), 21mm f/4.5 Tamron. The beard, then the Bear, quickly evaporated soon thereafter. Link to comment
Andy Perrin Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hah. There are female bears, you know, more deadly than the male! See Kipling. Link to comment

The 1st self-portrait is really quite good. I wouldn't call it a "selfie" though. I would call it a "fiercie". There are female bears, you know, more deadly than the male! See Kipling. Indeed!
