Out and about with the E-P1 + Cosmicar 25/1.4

As I already mentioned, I’ve slapped the little Cosmicar/Pentax 25mm f/1.4 C-mount lens onto my E-P1 again — and what can I say, I’m as thrilled again by this lens as I was the first, the second, the third and all consecutive times I used it. On the E-P1, it’s simply magical!

There’s something about the colours the way the  lens renders them combined with the way the E-P1 reproduces them that make this special combination so unique. From all the lenses I’ve used on the E-P1, this is the one I enjoy the most — and yes, its optical imperfections have a good deal to do with that!

But before I lose myself in ongoing ravings about this little, inexpensive gem, let pictures speak! :-)

Emil has found a new favourite activity: climbing and lying down on top of the backrest of our sofa!

I’ve put the little Cosmicar/Pentax 25/1.4 TV lens on the E-P1 again — this lens is just pure joy! I love its soft colour and contrast, the crazy bokeh, the inherent optical shortcomings … but I think I said that many times before already :-)

PAD #74 | “Toolbox”

Been to the garage, as my car needed a chek-up. My trusted mechanic was in the middle of disecting a Mini, thus the opened toolbox in the middle of the room. My car was allright, btw :-)

Olympus E-P1 + Lumix 20/1.7 @ f/1.7, 1/100 sec, ISO 200 | Color Efex @ Agfa Optima 400

I tried to give this a more “rough and dirty” look using a high-ISO film emulation. Agfa Optima 400 seemed optimal (unintended word joke, haha) with its slightly washed-out colours and visible grain.
