The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: Chinon 55mm f/1.4

The plastic A/M slider has broken off my venerable Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens dating from circa 1976 (a £10 upgrade when bought with a Chinon CX). To mark this milestone in its decline I have edited an earlier photograph made with this lens presumably wide open. I ought to take contemporaneous notes but it seems a nerdy thing to be doing for a cool guy like me. Non-contemporaneous notes (the cool type of notes): The photograph was taken through a gap in a hedge (green bits). Beyond the hedge was (and still is) a busy four-lane road (blurred bits). Beyond that again is an old wool mill, imposing and built of stone (white bits). There is an inexplicable red bit. My best guess is that it was a red lorry. The leaves in their final days leave me feeling melancholy. If I were not a photographer, I should scarcely have registered their existence.

The de Clarke monument in Locksbrook Cemetery, Lower Weston, Bath. It is a bronze sarcophagus with an angel over a base of Pennant stone sculpted by Edward Onslow Ford and completed in 1900. The monument was erected to Mary (d. 1895), wife of Lieut.-Gen The Hon Sir Andrew Clarke. Sir Andrew died in 1902. It is probably the finest tomb in Locksbrook, and is a Grade II listed building. I used a Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens for this photograph. Camera: Fujifilm X-E1.

Cropped and greatly processed for an 'arty' appearance, this is a tiny file which could be a disappointment when printed at any size. It probably looks at its best on a computer screen. Canon EOS 40D + Chinon 55mm f1.4 lens.

Photographed with a Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens mounted on a Canon EOS 30D via an EOS-M42 adapter. The macro effect was achieved with the addition of a Minolta Close Up No. 1 supplementary lens screwed into the 55mm filter mount.
