With a small collection of 35mm lenses I decided to buy adapters for them so I could use it on my Sony E-mount A3000. I have a Sony A37, which uses Sony’s A-mount system, and was tempted to get the adapters to use the old manual lenses on it. I chose the A3000 for several reasons but the biggest is is much lighter than the A37. Even with its weight advantage it is relatively heavy with the old lenses attached. I have to use a mono or a tripod since there is stabilization issues with these lenses. Here is one I took tonight in between storm fronts of our Maple tree’s leaves to be using an old Vivitar lens.
Very nice, and I love the bokeh. These beautiful petals remind me of your dragonfly wings š
Thanks Paula! I have learned a great deal about bokeh using these old film lenses. I wish could take credit for the final result of the photos in that regard but the old lenses are pretty amazing….and they make me look like I know what I am doing š
Beautiful!
