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.

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. |

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...) |

I'll be joining!
This year it will be my x700 and MC50/1.7 unless I can get my hands on a reasonably priced MD50/1.4. Last year I used the MD35/1.8 and I just have to say I prefer the 50mm focal length. I've got a 28/3.5 that's a great lens, too, real sharp and all, but still, I just like 50! My 85 and 135 aren't under consideration because my challenge is, like every year, street photography... I haven't decided yet but I may do color film as an additional challenge. Either that or Ilford 400 pushed to 800, which is a good compromise for the worsening light of autumn, and that I used all last October. Color would be a real challenge because for one I like to take metro pictures and I have no idea how to deal with white balance on film! So, we'll see! |

Oh go on, sign me up. Probably Dynax 9 with 50mm f/1.7 (my only A-mount prime) - as I have been letting film slide recently, as it were. I'll try to take pictures every day and will post as and when I process and scan, every week or so. Is that OK?

I'm in with my 85mm CZ and a99. I already know I'll have to break ranks and use more than one lens on Halloween, though.

Howard, no problem with film and we the slow pace of film.
Actually you get extra points from me for going with film! (Hmm, maybe I should also do it?) |

I think I will shoot film as well with my Maxxum 7 (and digital too with A900), let's start with 3 per week hopefully over time maybe I can get more.
As for the lens I decided to do it traditionally and go with Sony 50 1.4. Of course this is subject to change, I would love to go with 500 Reflex although I have to give it few more thoughts if it's not going to be too hard. So for me it's three challenges in one: Oktoberfest, Week 50 and Film Challenge! |
