hello from south africa. i have just bought an industar 61 ld and a jupiter 11 for use on an olympus pen epl1 or a sony nex3/5, oh no another expensive(not really) hobby!

interested in cameras and lenses to take pictures of my steam engines

Welcome to the forum!

Wow, Jupiter-11 on micro4/3, it's fov is equivalent to a 270 mm lens! , Please let us know, how the IS works with that length!

Cheers!

well im hoping the industar turns out to be a nice portrait lens and the jupiter a nice intermediate tele! the factor on aps-c is 1,5 (sony nex), so i will have access to 75/100 on the industar & 200/270 on the jupiter. Some joys to being the regular photo retail industry

Welcome Jacques!

Would love to see some of the shots of these steam engines, that cool! There's a photo gallery section in this forum, you're more than welcome to post those!

Cheers,
Vlad

Vlad,

i will start posting photos with the russian lenses as soon as they arrive!

I am interested in cameras and lenses to take pictures of my toy/model steam engines

Ah!
I understand better....
Your steam engines are toys, not real locomotives!..
Welcome.

Amitiйs. Another Jacques.

jacques,

i wish they were the full size engines! i travelled many kilometres behind steam engines in my youth, our national railway only switched to diesel in my teenage years-fond memories
