vintage lens
Using vintage lenses is a fun way to capture interesting images. For this portrait photoshoot I am using the Sony A7IV with the 7 element Super Takumar 50mm f1.4. To be able to use this lens on my Sony A7IV, I am using an M42 to Sony FE adaptor. This particular Super Takumar is quite yellowed. It caused a mixture of results on the day.
The Helios 44-2 is a 58mm f2 lens and during this photoshoot I am using it on the Sony A7III and Fujifilm X-T4. I had a couple of questions during my last portrait photoshoot with a vintage lens. The Helios is a lens made for film cameras, so it requires manual focus when used on a digital camera.
I decided to do a fun portrait photography photoshoot with 2 M42 vintage lenses including the Super-Takumar 55mm f2 and Super-Takumar 35mm f3.5.
For today’s photoshoot I thought it was time to clean off the dust of my first ever camera that I used to learn how to do photography on more than 10 years ago. I have the Pentax K100D which was a trusty little camera body that I first used to learn how to shoot in manual, learn how to use natural light, how to compose my photos and in general just a way to be creative when I was fresh out of high school and interested in what photography was.
