Preppping myself of the 50mm f1.2 manual focus lens

Harman Phoenix 200 135 version

Camera set to 125th at f11 at ISO200, flash set to auto for same ISO at f11. It's about a stop under what it should be - if I set the camera to f8 it's better.

She's been threatening to crawl for some time, but in the past day or so she's gotten pretty good at it. This is not a good thing!

Tried to take a photo of a church in complete darkness, obviously using manual focus. Eventually got it right, but not a great shot.

The entrance of Aquatica, the brand new water park at SeaWorld Orlando. We went on the first day of their soft-opening, and have the t-shirt to prove it!

Hallie's hair gets pretty crazy! I had the wrong WB setting on the camera and couldn't fix it, so I just went sepia. :)

Prinzflex 200/3.5

A bit restless bokeh (ぼけ) in the foreground...

Helios 44M 58/2

UHF Antenna. Still servicing us very well after so many years even in this age of satellite dish and fiber to the home.

Shot with Nikon D40 and 180mm 2.8 P non AI. No metering and manual focus. One great lens, but a little bit on the heavy side. Personally I always prefer the 200mm f4 Q non AI, much lighter and more handsome looking.

Helios 44-M-6 58mm f/2, M42 mount. My copy gets somewhat stiff through a range of the focus travel, but otherwise it's very nice. Sharp as a tack, good portrait lens.

My first photo taken with Helios 44-4

Ordinary she has a black belt in "carrying not using the camera . ."

Hallie loves to slide! Lake Lotus Park.

My new coffee machine, and the kitchen spoons etc. of my grandma....

This lens is sharp once stopped down a little (f/5.6)

A little bit about post-soviet kitchen scapes

Munchkin at Lake Lotus, pretending to be a bunny while I'm a fox (with a camera).

testing the nonmetering/manual lens out and got lucky to catch him for a split second- cheeto lips and all. I think it could use a bit of work in PS- but love it - If I print it - will take care of the speck of lint and the cheeto lips and backgound- LOL.

Hand held and manual focus.

This is from a series of first shots with my 'new' Nikkor-H Auto 85mm f/1.8 Kogaku lens.

Based on serial number I think its a copy from 1971.
