Arising from brother Opera58's K135mm f/2.5 thread, let's do an informal free and easy photo outing on Saturday morning on 2 April.
Rules of the photographic challenge is you gotta shoot at 135mm focal length. Doesn't matter if you don't have a 135mm prime lens, you can use any zoom so long as you shoot at the 135mm setting.

You can use a zoom like the DA 18-135mm, DA 18-200mm, DA*50-135mm, DA 50-200mm, DA 55-300mm, FA 100-300mm, FA 80-320mm, FAJ 75-300mm, F 35-135mm, A 28-135mm or any other third party, old or new, AF or manual focus lens.
Doesn't matter what lens so long as it is at 135mm.

Who wants to join in please add on to your list. So let's hear some of your suggested locations here.

This outing is gonna be a lot different from usual outings where wide landscapes and panoramas are the norm.
In a way this is a simple outing because we're gonna be shooting at one focal length, so can carry a light setup.
C'mon guys let's join in and see in tele mode :cool:

As for our meeting point, let's start off from Plaza Singapore MacDonalds as it is above the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station. From about 8am onwards.
Those joining later can meet along the way.

I'll try to make it. So ... M135/3.5 or DA55-300mm?
 

I've got the DA 50-200, DA 55-300, FA 135 and Sears 135 to choose from but I'll probably go with the manual focus Sears 135mm... gotta go retro once in awhile... :sweat:

Don't have any 135mm prime, zoom or even DC:cry:
Enjoy the trip and looking forward to your beautiful portraits guys ..
 

Do not own any 135mm prime.

Will a 70-200mm be an overkill.

Ok. I'll join you with the M135 then. Haven't used it much yet, hopefully I get some shots in focus. :p
