There’s a bit more of an explanation Here https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/the-sign-up-and-chat-thread-week-22-critters.754855/post-9485185

Thread looks good. The links from Flickr do work, but it’s better if you can share them as bbcode (it’s one of the options when you choose share). And then pick a size where the largest edge is no more than 1024. Then copy and paste that link here. Although, AFAIK that only works if...

Oh - and the correct flash for the X-Series Minoltas. Here's where I'm at today. Lens Line up by Kell, on Flickr

Forgive me GAS. It has been four months since my last confession. Since being given a film camera, it persuaded me to dig out my own film camera. I gave away the Pentax, but got my old Minolta X-500 out of a box. I only ever had one lens for it (a 50/1.7) so I bought ‘some’ more. Acquired...

Our local: (Taken for the TP52 challenge) R6II + Canon 85/1.8 TP52 2024 Week 20: Arches by Kell, on Flickr

Update on the update. The correct Canon adapter did indeed arrive the next day and like people have said, it's like the lenses were made for the camera. I've also got the Minolta adapter and at the moment, still prefer using the A7 with those lenses, but I think that might be just down to...

I think that a lot of that technique seems to rely on two things. 1: zonal focusing 2: practice I was using a combo of a digital body with manual focus film lenses. So could set up zonal focusing easily. Judging distance was quite hard. Like most things though it’s point 2 that will net...
