Vertical House Records 21.04.

A couple of weeks ago I found an adapter on B&H Photo that allows me to use my 35mm lenses on my DSLR. This was a HUGE find for me, because I have way more invested in older glass than I do with this “new” camera. Well, the adapter was $300 on B&H, and I looked around on ebay to see if I could find one for cheaper, and BAM – 99 cents! The seller was from Hong Kong, so after sending $5 (shipping) I crossed my fingers that this was the real deal.

Last week it came in the mail! I took some shots of our store to get used to it, cause I lose all auto focusing when I’m using the 35mm lenses. I didn’t realize my camera battery was on it’s last leg, so I didn’t get to play with it as much as I wanted to. Then I had a wedding on this past Saturday to shoot, so I still haven’t gotten a chance to play with it more, but I’m pretty happy with the results from the first go-round.

After May (we have a wedding every weekend, so I’ll have the funds) I’m investing in a new camera system. I’m leaning towards the Canon 5d (Mark II if I can swing it), but I’m STOKED that this adapter worked! I’m hoping with my new system, I can just invest in my favorite lens, and be able to use my Olympus with all of the other lenses I gained with this adapter (two zooms, two 50mm, maco, etc). I’m hoping this will keep me settled for a while. I think my overall dream with White Rabbit Studios is if I can shoot with the film cameras I have and do 8 and Super 8mm video. However, Huntsville doesn’t have a huge market for these things, so I don’t think it’s a good idea to spend my efforts focusing on that right now. I think once Steph and I have our portfolio exactly where we want it and we continue to draw the clients we are most interested in, THAT will be the time to focus on the film side of it all. We’ll see though…who knows. I love the convenience and ease of digital photography, but there’s nothing like getting a roll of film developed!

Anyway, on to the first round of test shots (also, this is the new store location in the photographs yaaaay):
