Test Shot

[Julian de'Courcy]

Took hold of a M39 to 4/3 adapter today. First picks are ok-ishhh. I was a bit disappointed in the Minimum focus distance. This lens had been used on a Zorki 4 and cannot quite remember it being as far as it is. Maybe I mostly used it outside. Taken in window north facing light.
The processing was Raw file , a click in LR 4.2 to B+W, Shadows up and clarity back a bit which is what I do to blur/soften a bit, before downsizing.

I do like the first one a lot Julian - especially like the eye contact and wide crop format

The soft lighting and tones are very pleasing - works very well I think

Love the off-centre comp of the first, and overall tones. Another bonny daughter?

It's far even for a rf lens isn't it ... 1m if memory serves
id have thought that would allow you to get quite close in for a portrait?
Still, now you have an excuse to buy more ltm lenses

I like the shots!

No Rob same daughter, the other photo's were oldies. This a 18 months further on.

I'll get the tape measure out one day Hamish and let you know. Hum - anyone got any ltm lenses needing a good home
A sequence I did with the jupiter 8, using high iso, on how to make an omeletoe for lots of people.
