The minimum focus distance is a bit of pain too. Too many variables for me to balance in my simple brain.

FUUUUCK

Found this old test shot while cleaning out detritus from a back corner of my dark room. 😅

Yeah that’s the issue, even stopped down it’s a little too soft and glowy for me. I may have ordered a late model Minolta Rokkor 40mm f2, which I found on eBay.

Nah, the lens itself is a little rough, and the depth of field is just not gonna work well on the m3.

Ran out of windows and had to get creative.

It’s definitely going to be difficult to focus on the m3 wide open but it’s pretty tame at f2 & up.

It's a bizarre lens, gotta figure out it's rhythm

f/1.2 and f/2.8

Since October last year.

Oh noooo.

A chunky silver and chrome camera with a complex ground glass accessory on the back.

The camera with the back components disassembled along with two assembled holders and one holder with the dark slide removed in a flat lay.

The camera with the ground glass hinged off to one side, and a film holder loaded with the dark slide pulled out to the other side.

Check out this magnificently weird little freak. I love it.

Please, Jesus, give me a garage and the means to own this. classics.autotrader.com/classic-cars...

Lomo 800 is legitimately my favorite color film. It almost always does exactly what you’d want it too.

Woof! Hopefully the holders aren’t lost for good.

Piece of cake.

BEANS FOR BREAKFAST MAKES GOOD FRIENDS EVEN CLOSER.

I want a manual transmission Chrysler Lebarron convertible.

Hopefully they don’t end up in Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷
