Adapted Thrifty Tokina

[hugsly]

Found a lens at a thrift shop the other day. A black pouch catches my eye, with white lettering - “Tokina”. Take a peak inside, a 135mm 2.8 looks back. Why not, the price was right, and I haven’t challenged myself enough with manual lenses.
So I come home late, can’t wait until the next day brings more light. Results, not bad.. These are all taken between ~20:00-23:00, wasn’t so bright outside. Exposure was a bit tricky getting right
. …and a crop…
I had fun! Will try it out some more, next time when it's a bit brighter

Yes, not bad! And thank you, but which club do you mean - this forum, or adapting old lenses…? Because I now have a few more old lenses on their way to me for adapting… 5 to be precise!

The club? Welcome to Cameraderie Forums. Show us what you can do with those old, but still useful tools of the photographer's trade.

Thanks ! And I will as soon as I get them, they are on their way. After getting this tokina I got the urge to buy some of the vintage lenses I’ve had on my personal list since a long time ago.
