To borrow a term from Kai, this image is "bokehlicious." Shooting with my vintage Fujinon 55mm f/1.8 m42 lens adapted to the Canon EOS R using the Fotodiox Pro m42-EOS R adapter. The Fujinon is an old manual focus lens from the film era, but it produces images with a wonderful and unique character such as this one. While I always process my finished images from raw using either Adobe Lightroom, or DxO PhotoLab, this one required very very few minor adjustment. It is very close to how it looked right out of camera.

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.
Not the best focus but I liked it so uploaded it. A day using a vintage manual focus lens. SMC Pentax-A 35-105mm F3.5
This is my collection of manual focus lenses, most of which I use regularly.

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 ÂŁ15, 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.
Using manual focus to try and catch the little stamen on this flower revealed half a dozen tiny little bugs. Needless to say my attention was diverted to try and catch a shot of one. If anyone knows what they are called, please let me know :)

_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.
An antacid (lansoprazole) capsule opened up to reveal the medication fragments inside. The capsule measures about 1cm in length. Pentax-M f2.8 28mm lens reverse mounted on to my canon 7D mark 2.
ISO 3200. f11. 1/250s.
Session shot entirely with manual focus lenses:
Minolta MC W.Rokkor 24mm f/2.8, Canon FD 28mm f/2.8, Fujian 35mm f/1.7, Canon FD 50mm f/1.4, Minolta MD Macro Zoom 35-70mm f/3.5 (MD-III)
Manual focus set to infinity, I then panned from left to right following plane on my lcd ...click, Damn it man...
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!
Digiscoped using the GH4 mounted on the Swarovski STX85 scope by manually focusing the scope.
I've never seen a Reddish Egret catch such a big fish, and have NEVER seen any bird swallow a fish this size while it was still alive. I think Big Red must have seen this catch, as shortly after Little Red ate his fish, Big Red swooped in and chased him completely out of this lagoon.
