Autumn Fruit: The Curate's Quince

Autumn Fruit: The Curate's Quince
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 30D 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.

A lovely image and a good result from the manual lens, but what is the fruit? :-)

I have also wondered what sort of plant this is!

Upon enquiry I discovered they are the fruits of the quince tree. Mystery solved!
