Welcome

The www.pebbleplace.com forum focuses mostly on using Contax and Leica lenses on Canon EF cameras. Using 3rd party lenses on Canon dSLRs is definitely a niche. Most people are not willing to use a manual focus lens, much less one without auto exposure. As such I suspect the www.pebbleplacephotography.com/forum/ will be a very small forum --- and that's just fine. The dSLRs forum is a catch-all for everything else that doesn't fit cleanly in the Adapter forums. If you want to talk about gear here, somehow, someway it should relate to 3rd party lenses and adapters such as:

Out of scope: Which should I pick - Canon EF 85mm F1.8 vs Canon EF 85L F1.2?

In scope: Thinking about the new Zeiss 85mm F1.4 ZF, why should I buy it instead of a Canon EF 85mm F1.8?

By keeping the discussions on point we help other users find the information they want without having to sift through lots noise. If you want to discuss gear, the latest & greatest stuff, etc., there are many other great forums to do this such as -

www.dpreview.com
www.fredmiranda.com
www.luminous-landscape.com
www.sportsshooter.com

All those sites (and many others) are great places for general gear discussions. Their forums have huge memberships bases, so eliciting a response won't be difficult. So lets keep the www.pebbleplacephotography.com/forum/ on topic, thus creating a nice reference site.

Thank you.
