Legacy Lens
Soligor 28mm f/2.8 M42 Mount
This was shot at F/8, and is one of the first days I have shot with this lens (which I have had for a few months). It is a bit frustrating in some ways, but also very good --for almost the same reasons. The focus adjustment is very fine and so there is a lot of yardage one must cover, which takes a while. But for fine adjustments....it is a pretty sharp focusing lens.
A little fun looking down the 10 story atrium of our one fancy hotel stay - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The building was built as offices and factory by Thomas Royse Lysaght, for his brother John Lysaght of John Lysaght and Co. with the buildings being completed by R Milverton Drake. The site was previously owned by Acraman and Company and was involved in the manufacture of corrugated-iron and pre-fabricated buildings, which were exported around the world and particular to settlers in Australia. By 1878 the facttory employed 400 men and produced 1000 tons of galvanised iron sheet a month. The company also diversified into making constructional ironwork, exported around the world from Bristol.
The building is now home to the head office of renewable energy consultancy GL Garrad Hassan.
It is an example of the Bristol Byzantine style and various of the buildings have Grade II listed building status.
The company offices are Grade II* listed. The offices were built in a Gothic style with a domed atrium decorated with golden Doulton tiles. The offices have wood paneling and throughout the building are elaborate decorations.
Today, we went to a couple of SUPER-cheap nurseries with Kelly and
Suzie. We picked up two different kinds of lavender, chocolate mint,
jasmine, sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano, chamomile, stock, carnation,
one I forget the name of, and a sensitive plant. I call him Sherman.
All that, for $28.00! David is ecstatic to finally be putting our
atrium to use. Tomorrow, Kelly and Suzie are coming to help us pot
them. Yay!
