Hi all,
I've recently added a couple of old M42 manual focus lenses to my Fuji X-T1 kit. Having a lot of fun with manual focus and love some of the effects and bokeh / flare from these oldies. I'm more of a landscape person and these were grabbed when the kids allowed me five minutes with them on holiday. Any tips and advice most welcome.
These are from my Tair 11A 2.8 / 135mm

These last three are with my 1970's Helios 44-2. I love the weird swirly effect, but some may not!
