manual focus using nikon fm10..

Testing the capabilities of an AF confirm adapter on a Canon 20d body. Are they sharp? How about that bokeh?

I tried the 180mm along with the PN-11 (52.5mm) extension tube. Shooting handheld can be a little tricky but is has nice results.

Manual Focus with 28mm Lense

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.

manual focus can't be fooled by all those twigs in the way....

a very tight crop here. the old magnicon MD lens ain't too bad - certainly better than my newfangled tamron piece of junk.

the amount of detail is surprising since the 210mm MD is probably more like 350mm or more after the 35mm to sensor conversion, and the 1.2X that the MD/maxxum adapter causes. ( I could figure it out accurately, but I am too lazy). This photo was taken at the maximum zoom on the Magnicon lens, handheld, hanging out the window of my truck. A bit of unsharp mask and some color/level adjustment in the Gimp.

Yes image itself well what can I say, simply terrible but the point is at least to me the ISO 6400! Btw the DoF is very small even this was shot about 3 meters away f/2.8 100mm (=200mm on this camera though).

Fyi: iPad does not support Olympus RAW, so this is the only way. Luckily Olympus has worlds best jpeg engine :-)

I used the manual focus to capture these firecracker flowers.

Manual focus and other settings. No tripod and PS.

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.
