Kelp

A ludditical photograph.
I bought an old manual focus Olympus 50mm f/1.4 lens and an adapter to mount it on my Sony A7R.
Mating new and old, and it works really well. And for only £25, it was a bargain.

Sony α7R
1/6400s f/1.0 iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Fabulous photo. Really neat to use the classic lenses with the new digital bodies. V

Super shot, Bill. The Sony is great with old manual focus lenes. V

Very appealing DOF here, and superb detail on the kelp. Looks like you made a good investment!

Excellent image, Bill. You have the knack of mismatching gear. It really works well. Great work. V.

I have an adapter to mount old Hasselblad lenses on my Canon 6D, so I guess I'm a Luddite too. Great DOF and Bokeh at 1.4 V
