Fun with an adapted lens

[footman]

My interest in "general" photography took a serious hit during the pandemic and has not improved since. I'm now down to two lenses, my Sony 90mm macro lens which I will keep and a Tamron 28-75 general purpose lens. I've been mulling selling the Tamron as it gets virtually no use so I thought I'd try out a couple of Canon FD lenses adapted to Sony E to see if I could substitute the Tamron easily.

We had a big family day on Sunday and I took a lot of shots with the 50mm 1.8 and the 135mm f2.8, both over 40 years old I believe, mounted on the Sony A9. All the shots were of family except for this one. A completely opportunist shot of something happening right in front of me with no time to focus. I think the aperture was F3.5 on the 135mm. No adjustment made except jpeg conversion in DXo Photolab3, I rather liked the colours.

Nice picture

I have quite a few old lenses including FD's from 24 to 85mm.

There's a vintage lens thread too...

Vintage Lenses

I've always loved vintage lenses. I love using them, handling them, photographing them.. Having begun my foray into photography in the late 80s, many of the now vintage Nikon lenses bring back a real sense of nostalgia for me but I also remember how good some of them were and how good they still...

Thanks , I couldn't find that thread.

I do like the colours you get from an FD lens. They are a favourite of mine, and work well on my Fuji.
