The power plant of a Honda Bike, parked outside COSTA this morning:

It never ceases to amaze me at how the owns manage to get the parts so shiny.
Amazing!

Love it that you get the reflection of the cafe in the chrome.

Yes!......and the photographer ;-)

Great shot. You must have zoomed in, right? I see from your reflection that you weren't crouching down at engine level

No zooming.....fixed prime, Zukio 45/1.8 lens so had to stand well back.......No stooping at my age......I think I used the auxiliary electronic viewfinder, it tips up for this kind of shot.

I broke both legs three years ago, I can stoop or get down on the floor reasonably easy, but it is agony attempting to return to standing.

Oooh, chrome!

What's a Zuiko 45 in old money? You're clearly above the level of the engine, but the shot seems to be at its level, which means it must have been fairly telephoto, right? (I can't understand modern focal lengths unless they're given in 35mm equivalent)

Hi Chris,

Regulars on here know that I don't do numbers.......but to put it in simple terms........the 45/1.8 lens is fixed like a prime........no zoom.......it is a lens that doesn't focus close, I just need to walk backwards until I get best shot via the AUTO focus.

From what I recall I was about five feet away to get the engine framed like that ( I did crop both sides a tad to get rid of intruding non-chrome parts)........I may have used the lift up EVF but even with that the camera would be above engine height......

Ah! Ha!.....just thought......the bike was on its stand, so leaning at an angle away from me, which would help my shooting angle.

The best way to see the lens in action is to go on YouTube search for the ...Zukio 45/1.8 lens.

Ah, a quick Google tells me it's 90mm "in old money"! 

 

As only physicists really need to know the actual focal length, wouldn't it be so much simpler if - irrespective of sensor size and distance from the lens rear element - all focal lengths were quoted in 35mm equivalents? I know it would be strictly inaccurate, but it would make life a lot easier; all photographers would know that less than 20mm = fish-eye, 24-28mm = wideangle, 45-55mm = human eye view, 75-90mm = ideal portrait, 135mm = short telephoto, etc etc.
