* Before posting a new thread, please check
the index to see if a lens has been listed already. Because it is updated manually (though regularly) you might also want to give a quick glance/search of the posted threads
in this forum.
* Send me a quick
private message if you would be so kind, so I know to add it to the index.
* The thread title is standardized to indicate that it is a sample photo thread and the full,
proper name of the lens. For example:
Sample Photos - Zeiss Biogon T* 2,8/25 ZM* When posting your sample photo(s) please try to include some basic information to go along with it. While not required (nor enforced) it helps provide additional details to people looking at the post and to provide both a context and a frame of reference when comparing. We suggest a format similar to the following atop each image:
M9, ISO 160, 1/500s @ f/8:* Please try to limit embedded (linked) photos to around 800px in width via the [ img ] tags. Provide a link using the [ url ] tags to the source - such as Flickr, your blog entry, or even just a larger version. This makes reading the thread much cleaner and easier.
* Of course, you can also add images as attachments - which will scale automatically.
* Remember that the idea is to "show off" the lenses, so try to select particularly interesting if not good photos (either artistically or technically) that are representative of the lens in question. Overly dark or blown-out photos, blurred shots and similar don't really help.
* The moderators of the forum may edit your thread title as well as post contents for standardization or cleanup.
