They Call Me The Working Man

I took my Sony A6000 and threw the Carl Zeiss Jenner Biotar 58mm, f=2 Exakta lens on it today. You know, for science.

Here are some of the pictures I came up with:

 

Yeah, I'm good with this.
 

My Hometown Is Coming In Sight

Went to the 4th of July parade in the town I am from.

Have some pictures, yo! 

 

Closer To The Heart

So the $20 lens bins at the camera store are...Entertaining to me. 

Also problematic.

So I picked up a Nikkor-Q 20cm f/4 manual lens from the early '70s and a Nikon 70-300 AF lens from probably the mid '90s.

After using them both pretty extensively yesterday, I'm pretty happy with them.

Here are a few from the 70-300:

 

For these, I mostly left the auto exposure on and, since it is a screw drive focus, I had to do that part manually.

As for the Nikkor, the guy at the store was convinced that it wouldn't work on my D40X. I explained to him that he was, in fact, incorrect. He tried to argue the point, so I grabbed a D40 off the shelf and showed him. His response was "Huh. Learn something new every day." Here are a few of the Nikkor Q: 

These are all manual everything. Exposure, focus, shutter speed, everything.

I'm very happy with both of these. The 70-300 will probably go with the D70 or the N# 35mms that I have.

These were all taken with my D40X. In case there was any confusion about it.
