Ran into my old high school (ca. 1985) friend Canon T70 and thought it might be fun to hang out for an afternoon. Milena and I bought some Kodak 400CN at Walgreens and our adventure began. Luckily 400CN and Walgreens developing are very forgiving, and Milena's a little manual-focusing machine.

I didn't have any pictures for my "one photo a day" project yet, so I thought I could as well try out the manual focus 50mm macro lens I'd bought recently. This is the result of a first quick experiment...
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.

I take photos in both manual focus and auto mode, sometimes I take the same photo in both versions. I do not find one method better than the other, sometimes a photo in one mode is better than the other mode and vice versa.
I will experiment some more in manual focus and 'report' back.
