A vampy group shoot with SE London/Kent-based "Models of Darkness", in the garden of St Dunstans in the East, London.
St Dunstans in the East is gem of a location, a small park set in the grounds of a ruined church, in the city of London.
Taken with a Nikon D40, fitted with a Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8 AIS manual focus lens and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
I had never seen his pupils so big as they were in this first light. Digiscoped using manual focus, uncropped, 1/800 sec.
A morning shot, manually focused as usual. Starting to get the hang of it. Again ... it looks like film to me. Nice colour rendition of this very old (for digital camera hardware) CCD sensor, but grain is visible down to ISO 100.
This is my collection of manual focus lenses, most of which I use regularly.
back row: Tair-3 300/4.5, Carl Zeiss 180/2.8, Pentacon 200/4, Vivitar Series 1 70-210/3.5, 3M-5CA 500/8 (mirror), Vivitar Series 1 90/2.5 Bokina (with 1:1 adapter), Hartblei Super Rotator 45/3.5 Tilt Shift.
Middle row: Samyang 85/1.4, Carl Zeiss 135/3.5, Nikon 105/4 micro, Arsat 35/2.8 Shift, Samyang 8/3.5 fisheye, Jupiter-9 85/2.
Front row: Helios 44-3 58/2, Carl Zeiss Flektogon 35/2.4, Helios 44-2 58/2, Nikon 50/1.2, Zenitar 16/2.8 fisheye, Nikon 55/3.5 micro, Vivitar 28/2.8 close focus.
I have collected these lens via eBay, charity shops, etc during the past 18 months. It all started with the Helios 44-2 58/2 which I bought for £15, it is a Russian copy of the Carl Zeiss Biotar 58/2.
Many of these lenses are better than their auto-focus counterparts, they really don't make them like this any more.
All lenses are used on the Canon 7D or Canon 5D Mkll.

_DSC2429 Anx2 1200h Q90 f25
Yesterday afternoon, I was at my front yard with my Leica M9 and Leica noctilux 50mm f 0.95 with the aperture setting at f/0.95, when this little hummingbird showed up unexpectedly. I did not have time to change the settings. Just had to manually focus and shoot real fast. I was surprised to be able to get a few shots. This is not the camera I normally use to shoot flying bird.
Image captured through the 1980-era Olympus G.Zuiko 28mm Auto-W f/3.5 lens mounted on the E-M5 II. This lens was salvaged from a scrap bin and suffers from dents, scratches, dust and a grinding focus ring, but it still produces beautiful results.
shot with a sony nex-6 and a canon ef 70-300 IS USM, adapted via a yongnuo smart adapter. autofocus is sluggish but works. but I manually focused this one though, and most of the other shots I took with this lens, on my first outing with it last night.
everything I've read about the canon 70-300 is true. resolution is outstanding. I got one used on craigslist and am almost embarrassed to say how little it cost. a MUCH more cost- effective solution, for my needs anyway, than the Sony FE 70-200.
I added a bit of special sauce in post-processing.
thanks for visiting!
Manual focus I mean. Shallow dof achieved by going wide open with the Nikkor 135mm f2 DC on the #Lumix S5M2
