I will add my own comments here regarding the purchase of a NEX-6. As I mentioned in a couple of other threads, I decided to get a NEX to have a relatively small and light camera system for the times when I travel by air. I very quickly narrowed my choice down to either the NEX-6 or the NEX-7. Look...

On Sunday I installed an old 85mm f:2.0 Russian range-finder lens on a Leica Thread Mount adapter, mounted it on my NEX-6, and went for a walk in a local ecological preserve. Here are a few images from that walk, plus one image from the parking lot. :wink: - Tom - Jupiter 9-603385.jpg Jupiter 9-603...

On Saturday I put an old Russian Jupiter 8 range-finder lens on a Leica Thread Mount adapter, installed it on my NEX-6, and went for a walk in Central Park. In addition to some shots of a local amateur theatrical group rehearsing a performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" for the Shakes...

I'm expecting to get one tomorrow (attached to the front of a Nex 6 8) ) so I'll be interested to compare it myself with the 18-55. I had to think hard about whether to get another Nex kit lens, but the very good price as part of a kit was a clincher. As Vidgamer has said, the small pancake size is...

Here is an image that was unanticipated. Not long after I acquired my NEX-6, I installed an old manual focus Olympus 100mm f:2.8 lens on the camera and went for a walk in Central Park. My intention was just to do some shooting of whatever looked interesting that might test the performance of the le...

I'm amazed that California and Texas have the highest state populations - I always imagined that it would be somewhere on the East coast where they are packed in more! Up until about 50 years ago the East Coast was the area with the states that had the largest populations. There has been a very lar...

Whatever you say, Doc.

Here are some relatively new cars - only 50+ years old . . .

And here are some vehicles that are "not quite as old" - from the 1930s.

Unlike my previous postings in this thread, which attempted to group photos by common themes, these cars have no common theme other than being "old cars". (If you look closely, you might notice that they are all made by Ford - purely by chance.) :lol: - Tom - Old Cars-714035.jpg Old Cars-...

Weather fabulous here, but too hot for photos! It was over 30 centigrade today. Greg would be taking his over-coat off ;) Over 30 Centigrade !! WOW !! :lol: Reminds me of the summer of 1961, when I worked in England on a student exchange program. I still remember a newspaper headline that read, &qu...

Since the images in my last post had a common thread of speed, here are some images that share a common thread of "very little speed".

Fabulous collection of pictures Tom. I think I like the red Jag next to the McLaren the best. I understand that 'red' ones go faster? :) A totally facetitious myth spread by the Italians . . . :wink: That may well be my favorite image also. When I saw the opportunity to get that photo, I waited for...

Here are some images of various older cars that have a common theme of speed. However, the most prominent vehicle in the first of the images is not very fast . . . :shock: - Tom - PS: In the second image, the McLaren MK-6 coupe is supposedly a conversion from the racing MK-6 chassis rather than a v...

As Doc said above, I have a number of images of old cars, partially because I like them, and partially because I have taken quite afew images as a volunteer worker for an annual concours that raises money for the local public library. Here are a few of these images. In this case, all of the images ...

Hello David,

Sorry to go Off Topic here, but I sent you a PM on 3 July that I think you have missed.
