Neglect

I've definitely been neglecting this little outlet. There just seems to be so much to do these days.

I fell in love today. With a lens, har har. I discovered the beauty of attaching old lenses to new camera by using little adapter rings from Hong Kong.

This isn't a new thing. Apparently people have been doing it for a while. You can read all about it here.

Anyway, the weather was perfect when my little metal adapters came in the mail today so popped an SMC-Takumar 55mm f2 onto my trusty 5D and walked around the neighborhood. I got the lens for $13 at a thrift store with a Pentax camera body attached to it.

The results were surprisingly wonderful. Here's a little example. More later. (maybe)
