I'll join in!
Going to use an A77 with Samyang 24mm 1.4, and do 3 a week minimum.

I'm busy finishing up my last semester of college so taking photos consistently is difficult, but this could be a good motivator for me. i think the samyang will be a fun lens and i really need to get more samples out there for people to see what the lens can do

3 a week, minimum. I will try to shoot more.

Great !! I was about to send you a PM wondering if you wanted to sing in with us ;-)


Thanks James. I hesitated to join because tomorrow I start at a new job, a project for 3 months so I'll be very busy.
But on the other hand there is always time to sing

I'll have a pop - get the A700 out with the SAM 85/2.8 both feeling unloved at the moment. 3 per week - hope (but don't expect) to do better !
Good luck to all

Addy, I think I am with you - I have some great 50mm lenses, but never get to make them work for me on APS-C. So I will try to stick to my NEX 7 with Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1 (wide open if light allows...) 3/week.

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.

If light allows
At f/1.1 on iso 100 even 1/4000s is to slow.......

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...

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! :)
