A friend of mine has a Sony A5100. She recently found a canon film camera with a couple EF autofocus lens. I know they're not the best but I told her she should get an adapter to use the lens on her sony. I doubt there would be any AF function with these old lens but is there any apeture...

Experimenting with one of those inexpensive tilt adapters from ebay. Still trying to learn what's the best focal length to use but it's fun so far.

Olympus pen 40mm f1.4 Nikon 135mm f2 AIS and an old 300mm f2.8 I use them on my X-E1. Tons of fun to shoot with. Incredible shots when I get the focus but the focus peaking is next to worthless. Maybe it's due to me using telephoto lens mostly but I usually just go with eyeballing it

super quick test and prob not fair for the close distance to subject but I was curious too. Around 3 foot and just sitting at my desk at work. but the crop looked very close to my nikon 85mm 1.8. I'm definitely going to experiment with other lens at longer distances but i was surprised since...

The only carl zeiss lens I own is from a Rollie SL66 which is focused bellows style.

I recently acquired an bronicaETRSi camera with several lens. I'm wondering if its worth it or even feasible. I've found a few adapters available but expensive for just a fun experiment.

I just won an X-E1 on ebay. I'm super excited to try out a fuji camera. I have a large collection of nikon lens and super excited to test them out. I had a friend give me a 135mm f2, a 105mm 2.5 and even a 35mm f2.8 tilt lens. I dont know if it my eyes or the focusing screen of my nikon but...

I want a new to me Fuji camera. I have a case full of older Nikkor AIS lens that I would love to use. I use Nikon currently but honestly, the digital cameras aren't easy to manual focus. I played with a sony NEX5 and fell in love with focus peaking. That camera though was hard to see the...
