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.

 

Pentax MZ-S - SMC Pentax 1:2 55mm - Ilford FP4+ @ ASA-125

Kodak HC-110 (1+31) 9:00 @ 20C

You might have figured this out....I have a great big old crush on the color red. Like a reflex whenever I go shopping, I'll get something red even though my closet is stuffed with the color. I try to make light of it by justifying my obsession. e.g. if I go blind I'll never have to worry about matching my outfits.

 

It's the color I notice first & which tends to excite me. A thin line between my sometimes hot temper and the passionate joy in the things I love the best.

My wife decided on a tour through southeastern Idaho and northern Utah today. It was a long trip, because I naturally had to stop at just about every turn, because of how beautiful it was today.

 

I also focused on shooting as manually as I could. My camera does not allow me to shut the light metering off, or I would have done that as well. Aside from that all the photo marked "Manual Focus & SOOC" were as much as could be achieved.

 

To see why I struck out to do this photo as manual as possible, please visit PhotoCapM and read Back to Manual Mode. There is also film coming from my old Pentax K-1000 in the very near future.

Pentax *istD + Vivitar 135/2.8 (Cosina) [crop]

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.

From the beginning of November; fallen maple leaves in my birdbath.

Day 474 Canon 450D+ Carl Zeiss 3.5/125

Monday,03 October.2011

 

At Suan Rodfai Park,Bangkok.

Manual Focus Group Photo Trip for Flood Fund.

 

"I wanted to die, then. I wanted to destroy the body I was trapped in, become what she was, no matter what it took. No matter how much mutilation or pain. But he looked away, at me. He pulled my face down and pressed my lips against his like he was almost trying to suffocate us both."

-The Rose and the Beast: Fairyales Retold, Francesca Lia Block

 

"Blood...sometimes it sets my teeth on edge. Other times it helps me control the chaos."

-Dexter (TV show)

 

This is real blood but it's not self inflicted. I'm not depressed today, so don't worry.

+3.

 

"You began to cry, just crying. The deep and ugly kind, the kind you lose yourself in; though you're thanking God that no one has to see how rubbed and blotched your face becomes. Though, some detached part of you also wishes there was someone there to see you now, to see and understand how sad you are at heart. They don't see it and of course, you would never show them."

 

One day, you will find me with bloody arms, sobbing on the ground among shattered pieces of objects I have destroyed. Even then you will not understand, because I do not even understand. Unfortunately, this will not happen. Because one thing I do know is that I'm not that kind of person. I will have a gun to my head and I still will not be able to tell you how I feel. All my life I have wanted to have a breakdown. I am that messed up. I can't even fall apart the right way. I just want to disappear because I don't know how to live.

 

Listen.

This week: Disable AF and strictly focus manually. This gives back a "artisanal" element to the composition process, especially when playing with depth of field in close-up moments.

(Wien/Tiefer Graben)

shooting data :

 

Panasonic DMC-LX1

lens : 28-112 mm ( 16:9 ) : 28 mm

program auto exposure : - 1.33 EV

manual focussing : 3-6 feet zone setting, 6-15 feet zone setting

shooting mode : continuously

ISO : 80

date : Wed. 23 Aug. 2006

place : the upper deck of my junction station, JR Higashi-Kanagawa station south-east area, Yokohama canal, on the road of Route 15

   

JR --- Japan Railroad or something

higashi --- east

  

note :

I used my LX1 on 28 mm with 3-6 feet zone setting and 6-15 feet zone setting.

I used 3-6 feet zone setting for the person.

and I used 6-15 feet zone setting for the canal mainly.

 

and naturally,

LX1's battery was dead in 2 hours usually.

That was the place just near the main road to my Dai-koku Pier.

 

...

 

my frivolities

 

I went shooting with LX1 and W5.

W5 was using for the evening and night.

my W5 has f 2.8 and f 5.6.

and my W5 still had made stains on f 5.6 at that night.

but in the night, it is very hard to get f 5.6 naturally.

so I could use my W5 in my Dai-koku Pier with manual exposure for the evening and with auto exposure for the night.

  

I had to use my W5 by manual focussing with f 2.8.

but I did the normal mistake naturally again.

 

at first,

I had been shooting my W5 by manual focussing with f 2.8.

and soon I had been shooting my W5 by manual focussing with f 5.6.

and soon later I had been shooting my W5 with auto exposure entirely.

I found it on my Dai-koku Oo-hashi ( big bridge ) in the night.

I had already been shooting over 200 jpgs until then.

My memory stick pro could accept only around 250 jpgs plainly.

I couldn't do my shooting from the evening again.

It had already all been passing.

 

All the causes had been hidden in my W5's tiny little pushing buttons.

It comes from my frivolities.

  

...

 

Leica M8

 

my W5 had already come back from SONY for repairing with no cost.

so,

I don't have a need to use my frivolities any more.

the manual exposure setting was not my shooting style naturally.

  

I had been shooting by manual exposure in my film lording type camera days.

The film lording type camera days could not be coming any more for me probably.

That has two simply reasons,

One is from my monetary reason.

and the other,

Leica had released Leica M8 already.

  

The most of all someone had been saying like this.

" I only shoot film ! "

 

The monetary reason person had been using the plastic digital cameras.

With no monetary reason person would be soon using Leica M8 naturally.

 

I have been simply loved Leica since 1978.

M8 is my too much more more far away dreaming still now.
