April Foolishness 2023 Sign-Up

I still have to decide about the lenses for this challenge.

It'll be the Samyang 24 f2.8 and Sony 24-105f4@105mm

Hope it is nothing (to) serious!

Nope, Just time and a biiig lack of motivation. The weather isn't coöperatieve as well.

My belated winter dip, I guess.

Hi,

last picture i took was around the rokkor challenge, so i guess my personal motivation isn't at all what it once was too. But foolish as it may be, I've got two lenses which i really should take for a spin, no excuses.

first lens, on A99II : tamron 35 1.8 . I was always intrigued by the combination of 'standard focal length' and semi-macro capabilities of this lens. price was ok, so took the plunge and purchased it last week. Yet to shoot with it, I hope I will appreciate its modern character. It is also my first 35mm AF prime since ever. I have a tiny 7artizans 35 f2 MF lens for E mount, but can't say I'm thrilled by its performance.

second lens, on A7II : Tair-11 135mm. Acquired from a seller on ebay a couple of months ago, in the hopes of purchasing it together with a very nice meyer gorlitz primoplan 58 1.9 lens from the same seller (and 'save' some shipping costs). I won the tair-11, lost the primoplan. Haven't used it so far. I hope it surprises me in a positive way after all.

So count me in. I'll post a minimum of 3 images per week. foolishness part: on some days I will try to take both camera's with me and take the 'same' shot with both lenses. If both are OK, I will post the best representation of the subject in the main thread, the other in the outtakes.
