Scenes Seen (5 Quick Pics In A Camera Shop): GFX + Contax CY Zeiss Planar 50mm f/1.7.
Why 5 pics? I brought this lens along with me on a return trip to my local camera shop with another lens (Pics in my last post.)…
,,,to pick up some film chemistry. For a few pictures, I slapped this lens…
…to the front of…
…and here are the pics.
Thoughts.
Pretty straightforward. I had M mount lenses before. And I also had a set of CY lenses. It then dawned on me that since I am adapting and no longer have an analog M mount camera, I do not need both M and CY lenses.
That manual focus experience that worked so well with M mount glass works just as well with CY glass.
A great two screen manual focus aid that can be used through the EVF and puts me in the mind of a rangefinder experience. However, the real trick is that you can use it with the back-tilt screen.
Tilt the screen up or sideways and low and high angles are on the table as well.
Welp. Enough of that.
Happy capturing.
