Canon TS-E 17mm ƒ4 L Tilt-Shift

With that bulbous Canon lens, I get the widest possible perspective on the Fujifilm GFX camera - equivalent to a 13 mm lens !

The optical quality on the larger sensor is actually quite good. You can see only in the outermost borders that there is a slight distortion visible in the fine details, and some fringing (red-green)

In real life images, as you look at them overall (e.g. not at 100%) - I consider the effect to be negligent. The image simply looks sharp, especially when stopped down a couple stops.

Kind of cool, to be able to use such an extreme wide lens on a medium format camera like that (via the Fringer EF-GFX Pro adapter).

Professional photographers might prefer the new Fujifilm GF 30mm ƒ5.6 T/S (Tilt-Shift) lens. It is a huge, expensive and optically perfect lens with shift ability. Well, for my usage, that would be a total overkill, since I rarely use Tilt-Shift lenses. The Canon TS-E 17/4 L is totally enough (albeit a bit too wide for my taste).

And yes, even at the larger sensor camera, the lens can still be shifted. Maybe not maximum shift like on a fullframe Canon EOS camera - but it is still possible to quite some degree. It might get a bit darker in the extreme corners - yet that too is correctable.

City Night Photography

What I still haven't done yet is some serious in town photography. That should be very interesting, as well challenging. And now that we have entered the light nights - this becomes even more exciting to do.

Ellly's mesmerizing eyes

Elly (Eleonora) is the dog we take care of for a week. She is absolutely gorgeous - and boy, what a beautiful soul. Her eyes are just incredible ! Incredibly well behaved. She doesn't bark around, doesn't chew on cables or other things. Is very cool with other dogs (mostly), and endlessly kind.

I met her the first time when she was still a puppy. I had visited Sal at his work for the first time - when she was there, too. (3 years ago) She was lying down on her back, and everybody was cuddling with her *LOL* She does that still. As soon you start to streak her fur - she 'melts' and goes down gracefully onto her back.

Do me... stroke me *hahaha*

Here a couple photos i took of her 2 years ago.
