Giving the MZ-S's ability to work with older K-Mount lenses a try by trying out five of my favourite lenses from my collection with the MZ-S. They work, not 100% perfect, but they work well enough.

Another set of pictures I found in a folder, and I have no idea why they are there - I've long forgotten, and there's no common theme or time. Some of these images are 20 years old.

I have little idea of which camera or lens, but I would say they are all taken with a classic manual focus lens on a digital camera of some sort.

Sabato 17 ottobre. Non chiedetemi perché mi piace questa fotografia. Forse i colori, forse le luci a forma di cuore, forse l'atmosfera di quella sera. Si, perché sabato mi sembrava di essere pochi giorni prima di Natale, senza apparente motivo. E così, per festeggiare, ci siamo presi un gelato alla gelateria di Via Castiglione.

I admit it, I am guilty: I don’t read user manuals (sometimes I think I should!) So if you use the D700 and a manual focusing lens here is something you might find useful; I just found this by accident the other day by going through the user manual! This also applies to other Nikon cameras, or other brands (consult your camera’s user manual!)

So what the user manual says is that even though you are using an manual lens (there are no electronic connections between the lens and the camera so the camera cannot autofocus), the camera can still confirm focus. So if you look through the viewfinder at the left bottom corner there should the focus indicator: a dot appears when the subject is in focus, a right arrow appears when the focus point is between the camera and the subject, and a left arrow if the focus is behind the subject.

So keep tweaking your manual focus until the dot appears. The subject doesn’t have to be in the centre of the image--the focus indicator works as long as you point your focus point at the subject. Finally, in manual mode the focus indicator still uses the same phase-based detection method of the autofocus system to confirm focus so it should be pretty accurate; I used the focus indicator in this image to guide me in focusing since I was using a manual lens and it was very accurate. (This is good news, since in LiveView the D700 uses a contrast-based focusing system which isn’t as accurate or fast as the phase-detection focusing system.)

I hope you like this image and good luck :)

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.

This Marbled Godwit was very angry at me as I tried to find its nest for a friend who was studying Marbled Godwit nesting ecology. I don't like harassing birds around their nests, and was lucky to get one keeper shot in the short time I stuck around.
