Y'all...
I recall that a while ago there was some discussion of testing the
suitability of some cheap wides for use on DSLR's, 'specially Canon EOS
cameras.
Well, on Monday I had an evening gig shooting some stills of musicians
who were on a soundstage faking performances for a 5-camera video
shoot. I figured that the lighting would probably be taken care of,
and for various reasons it seemed like a good time to shoot with a DSLR
(which I don't own...) So on the way to the gig I stopped by the
studio of another photographer who was quite happy to lend me a D60 for
a coupla days. He was pretty amused to find out that not only had I
never shot with a DSLR. I hadn't even shot with an EOS film camera
before.
Next stop was Fotodiox for an adapter; the company headquarters just
happened to be on the way to the gig, which was about 70 miles
northwest of my condo in downtown Chicago.
So, I had time to seek out a good place to get my fingers wet with the
unknown axe; this turned out to be a place called Chain O'Lakes State
Park. I tried to find something to shoot with my 24mm 2.8 Vivitar

Also shot some well-lit trees with my 180 (1st version)

Not to mention some Sand-Hill Cranes with the 400 Telyt:

All the images have been resampled into small JPEG's with a bit of the
usual sharpening - not what I would consider any sort of rigorous test
but a good real-world view of how the stuff works together. If anyone
needs to see the 2K x 3K files (which looked quite good to me) I'll be
glad to pass them along. In any case,the 24 looked quite good to me
(stopped down to 5.6-8, anyway.)
I suppose I need to find out how best to post images for evaluation.
Any suggestions about how big, sharpenig/no sharpening, resampling,
etc. would be appreciated.
