Very last minute decision as my new lens arrived 2 or 3 weeks earlier than expected

So sign me in: Nex-5N with Rokinon 300mm fixed f6.3 mirror; 3/week

I've never used a mirror lens before, so it's going to be an experience; don't expect anything brilliant

NEX-6 and Minolta MD Rokkor-X 50mm f/1.4 for me. I'm aiming for 3 a week, but I'll try to hit 5. Between my day time commitments, this might be a challenge to catch enough light during the afternoon hours, but I'll do my best to get one in almost daily. I can't wait to start! :)

Jizzy, welcome!

Addy, yep, I've already hit the f/1.1, iso 100, 1/4000s wall few times with this lens... But in Boston it doesn't happen too often, especially in October...

If light allows
At f/1.1 on iso 100 even 1/4000s is to slow.......
Why not follow me on Instagram? @Addy_101

I'll join in too.

I'll be using A77 & Tamron 90mm Macro. 3 per week minimum, but aiming for 5. Not allowed to use the same subject twice.

Seems to be collecting some dust, as its not a focal length I usually use. I also don't get enough photos with a small DOF.
