Conkers, 2019

I used a Canon EOS 30D with a Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 lens mounted via an EOS - M42 adapter. The lens came with a Praktica MTL5 camera and the two cost me £12.50.

The Pentacon f/1.8 50mm is the last version of the Meyer-Optik "Oreston" f/1.8 50mm. It performs better than I had remembered, notwithstanding that using it on the EOS D30 was hopeless for metering the light and I fell back on the 'Sunny 16' rule. I was also glad to have Lightroom in which to edit the original RAW image.
