anyone adapt old slr lenses to their dslr? It's pretty neat. Didn't try composing this shot or anything, it was experimental. Any editing was just light correction.
I use some of my old (and I do mean old) SLR lenses from time to time. I have an awesome ISCO F2.8 180mm lens that I shoot on special occasion. It weighs about 7 lbs. When I used it on my Nikon F4S with a motordrive, the whole package was pushing 10 lbs. I've also got a 135 F3.5 and a 50mm F1.4 lens that date back to the 60s. They don't fit well on the body and don't meter correctly, but I can guess pretty well and go from there. The optics are really good on all three.
Anyone have any tips on taking pictures of solar panels on houses. I have an opportunity to make a little extra cash, but as a mostly nature photographer this has me stumped??

This is a recent photo straight from the camera using a 28mm 2.8f Definitely the "turd" of my collection. No filters or artificial/reflected light were used either.
Just off the top of my head a CPL to cut the glare, and try about a 6 stop Neutral density filter to increase your exposure time to get the saturation levels you want.
Or a HDR might be more the way to go with it, just be careful not to "over cook" them in Post, its way too easy too do with a HDR

DOnt Skimp on the CPL quality, get a GOOD ONE. I prefer B+W KSM/MRC's now that I have a couple. But the Good mid to upper range Kenco's and Hoya's are good stuff too. Hell even the Premium Promasters are not that bad as well

Why have decent glass, then put a SHITTY filter in front of that, you just negate the whole point of having decent glass that way... One of the reasons I DONT BELIEVE in U/V filters. I almost ALWAYS have a CPL on my glass anyway.
The KSM/MRC 46mm CPL for my Olympus 17mm F1.8, was 98 bucks form a discount seller on Amazon. WORTH EVERY PENNY over the mid range 5X dollar Hoya I had before

If I recall correctly I paid $25 for a 2 stop neutral density filter, and about the same for a polarizing filter (55mm). Both quality German made filters that probably were $100 a piece new.
