Pyrus Calleryana

Yup, another flowering plant. Had a Dr's appointment today and decided to scout around for another shot for the challenge. This one came out MUCH better even though I had to pull the branch down closer to me and manually focus (not an auto-focus lens) one handed. Quite the feat. Oh, and it started raining. :)

Canon EOS 40D ,Helios 44-2 f/2 58mm
1/1600s f/2 at 58.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I like this centered view.

Thanks. I like it too. I centered it a bit more. It just​didn't look right the other way.

I haven't tried it on my 5D Mark II yet. I believe people have used them on full frames before. I just haven't tried it on my wedding camera yet. Looking at the lens there is nothing protruding that would interfere with inner camera movements behind the lens so I would guess that it would work fine on a Full Frame camera.

It is fully manual but I have the adapter with the focus chip on it. It works nicely with this lens. It's an M42 mount but the adapter lets me use it on the Canon EOS bodies.

You forgot to add very pretty and colorful. It looks as if your enjoying that lens. Seems like those are 100% manual lens but have very good glass in them for a excellent price.
I'm looking forward to seeing more from it. Can they be used on a FF body or only a crop? Paul
