It was well past time that I got out for a photo walkabout and still under orders for no strenuous activity or lifting, I went for an easy location and light on the gear. The first two shots were made with my EOS M3 and FDn 20mm f/2.8 (effectively 32mm on the crop sensor) mounted via Fotodiox adapter,. The third image was shot on a R5 with FD 100mm f/2.8 Chrome Nose mounted via Fotodiox Pro adapter.
Using vintage, manual focus lenses adapted to modern digital mirrorless cameras certainly changes my process. The requirement to make mechanical inputs for shutter speed, aperture setting and focus slows down image capture. Add to that my decision to use prime lenses instead of zooms and there is also the need for me to physically move when I alter composition... and as long as I'm moving forward or back why not side to side or up and down to fine tune things.
Whether it's the change of gear, my mindset, the nostalgic component, limitations of fixed focal lengths, this leg of the Journey is proving very enjoyable.
