Airbus A350 XWB MSN001 First Flight

The title says it all ... Some shots from the Toulouse Blagnac airport during the first flight of the brand new Airbus A350 XWB (eXtra Wide Body) MSN001.







Some more pictures available in full resolution on my Flickr photostream in this set ...

EF 85/1.8 USM, the best bargain ...

Some sample pictures shot with an EF 85 F/1.8 USM, probably the lens with the best IQ/price ratio in the whole Canon catalog ...

All pictures below shot at f/4 in direct daylight, processed by DxO.











The full-res version of the pictures above is available in this set of my Flickr photostream.

Airbus Beluga

As third post for this new series, an almost in-axis front view of an Airbus Beluga landing at the Toulouse Blagnac (LFBO) airport.



The eye of my camera was an M42 lens, an EBC Fujinon-T 135 f/2.5 mounted with a Fuji to EOS adapter bought by the MFLenses forum member calvin83. The adapter is crafted for use with M42 Fuji lenses, with a slot for the lug at the bottom of the lens (no more need to dremel it) and an inner flange to push down the diaphragm pin.

The picture is straight from the raw file, processed by DxO with the standard landscape profile.

In the courtyard of the museum, attending the Printemps de Septembre 2010, with my 5D Mark II and an old EF 28-105 USM.
