Yesterday u/mampfer suggested flipping the front element on my Penatcon 29mm/2.8. It's interesting but I struggled to find a real use for it during winter. All straight out of camera, just to share this experiment

Vintage Lens Buying

P. Angenieux Paris AX Type 86 100mm f/1.4 & P. Angenieux Paris 80mm f/1.5. Both have Petzval designs.

I recently found out there are tilt shift adapters for M42 lenses. Much cheaper than an actual tilt shift lens || Sony A6500 + Selens M42-NEX Tilt Adapter + Opticam Auto 135mm f2.8 + Tiffen Enhancing Filter (SOOC)

Comparison Helios 44-2, Pancolar zebra 50 1.8, Zenitar-M 50 1.7

Thought the bokeh on this was kind of interesting, but I'm honestly sick of taking photos of dead trees. Save me, spring! red P Jupiter-9

What % of the time do you use vintage? Are there times when you go modern because you worry about missing the shot? (Hobby mostly but anyone can answer.)

Another bargain find :)

SMC Takumar 55mm f1.8 + Canon 450D

Grumpy cat (Prinz Galaxy 400mm f6.3)

What am I supposed to do with printed photos?

What can be used on black fabric that's not permanent?

Camera fell out of my bag and cracked on the bottom. Still usable?? (Autoboy 3 quartz date)

You're probably sick of seeing these but I modified a Helios 44-2 (flipped rear lens) and enjoy the effect. I call it visual chaos.

Which camera do you like to bring along for travel?

Kestrel 135mm 2.8 + Sony A6100

Som Berthiot Cinor 70 mm f/1.5 (projection lens)

Why do you shoot 110 film?

Tell me I don’t have a problem…

Does the price of lenses fluctuate ?

Took my A Schacht Ulm Travenon out again. I love this lens!

My little kit (so far)

A6100+ Old 135mm F2.8 manual lens

Quick shot, quite happy with it!

Sony a6000
