The Moon Movie
2012-08-27, the moon on the move.
A surprisingly sharp el cheapo lens I still had from the 80s (I can't remember a single photo I made with it back then), a used 2x tele converter that I got with a bunch of other manual focus lenses, and a Micro Four Third camera with a crop factor of 2 which all results in a 1° 10' picture angle or 40 times magnification compared to a normal lens.
However, it rested all on an extra Manfrotto 293 tripod collar/lens support on top of a new (for me) used old heavy stable nice comfortable:) Gitzo tripod head on the Manfrotto 0190xprob tripod.

Minolta MD 100-300mm f/5.6
2012-04-22
Saw similar pictures taken with this legacy lens on Flickr on Micro Four Third cameras and liked them very much. Now got a nice examplar of it for myself:). On a Micro Four Third system this lens has an effective focal length of an equivalent 200-600mm lens on a 35mm camera.
Back when I was 14 and got into photography with a Minolta X-700, MD 50mm 1.7, MD 28mm 2.8, and some no name 70-210mm (Soligor? thought I also liked it), a Minolta MD 70-210mm was kind of a dream, did not even dare to think much about this one. However the 100-300mm is quite bulky and with 700 g and without a collar doesn't really hold very well on a tripod attached the comparatively small Panasonic G2. For nice weather walkabouts, so to speak.
