Welcome to Dyxum, Imprez25! The a700 with 35/1.8 is a great combination.   

I'm sure we'll see an Oktoberfest Training thread soon for you to practicing posting photos and thumbnails (which can be a bit tricky at first...)

Welcome, imprez25!!! Glad to see you joining in.

I'll join the challenge.
Not certain, but I'll probably use my Sony 30mm f/2.8 macro.
3 per week.

A77ii, A6000 + various alpha, homemade and adapted lenses

Thanks all for the welcome! This is my first challenge too, but I have some ideas. I'm a prime shooter so the single focal length won't be a big change, jus not switching lenses to my 85mm or 50mm. I look forward to everyone's entries.

You and me both, I've been on Dyxum for some time now and did some challenges such as Week 50 and Film Challenge but never a monthly one, I just realized

How small is small?
Well, if it's bigger than 23x16mm, then it is huge!

My plan is to shoot 5 images/week, most will be shot in day light over my lunch break, but 2-3 per week will be in good evening light. I plan to use a sony a700 with a 35mm1.8.


Great to use first post to sign in to a challenge

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing, as simply messing about in boats

A month with just one focal length is pretty tough!   Deep down, I know my cz85 needs a good work out but I'm sure I'd struggle to get 3/week with that. Hence the tam90 macro - it almost feels like cheating...

Add me to the list. If you guys allow the PrimePair, I'll go with the Vivitar 13mm and the Minolta 200/2.8G on FF, the extremes of my primes. If no PrimePair, it is tbd. It is 7/week in every case.
Why not follow me on Instagram? @Addy_101

BTW, after adding my name this "top quality photographers" list will become not so top quality


Don't worry Marcin… I have already lower the bar


No way !!


The only important thing here is shooting and posting , a month challenge isn't easy for anybody , getting a decent image every day only using one lens , for a a month is a real challenge .


So let's go for it guys and gals !! Gals and guys !!!
