A venture to experiment with the uniqueness of old vintage lenses with modern mirrorless sensors. Vintage lenses unlike the modern digital ones do possess some defects in them. These defects are not some defects in their built quality or any other mechanical defects but rather defects in the images they produce for example the Swirly bokeh of Helios lenses or the soft glow effects or chromatic aberrations in them. Though some of these defects can be corrected in the post processing but not correcting them makes them really unique and amazing in the current world of modern lenses. This page is entirely dedicated to my experiments with some of those vintage lenses coupled with modern day sensors. (mostly mirrorless cameras from Sony.)

And we got The Namami Brahmaputra to cherish. The rains did play a spoilsport at The Namami Brahmaputra event but never could it downplay the enthusiast of the people of Assam. #manfrotto #manfrottonamamibrahmaputracontest #namamibrahmaputra #guwahati #assam #river_fest #lights #fireworks #cultures #civilisation #celebration #weekend (at Brahmaputra Ghat)

Chilades lajus, the lime blue. A small butterfly found in India, Ceylon, Myanmar, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Hainan, Mangulam Island, Sulawesi and the Philippines. "How do you photograph butterflies?" I guess by staying still or using a remote enabled device and hoping your autofocus locks the object perfectly. But what you do if the lens you are using has not got a single electronic part it. You got to freeze yourself still while moving the focus barrel and hoping not to scare the butterfly away. Shot with Minolta Rokkor PF 58mm f1.4 with a +4 macro filter and aperture stopped down to 4. (I had to remember all this as nothing gets incorporated in the pic when using a manual lens). #butterfly #assam #guwahati #gauhati_university #biodiversity #nature #outdoors #green #manual_lens #adapted_lens #minolta_lovers #minolta_rokkor_pf_58mm_f1_4 #adaptedlens #vintage_lens #sonyalpha #sonyindia #sonya5000 (at Университет Гувахати)

Do you see the swirl bokeh of the out of focus areas? No?? Watch the leaves that are on the ground. Now?? Yes.. Ok. So its none of a photoshop edited background but rather a characteristic feature of the lens itself. The Helios 44- 58mm f2. The 44-2 is the model number for the lens while 58mm and f2 are the focal length and aperture. This lens remains favourite for a huge number of vintage lens shooters because of the quality of pics it produces along with its "SWIRL BOKEH" effect. #vintage_lens #vintage_meets_modern #helios44_2 #helios44_2_58mmf2 #soviet_lens #made_in_ussr #adaptedlens #sonyalpha #sonyindia #sonya5000 #guwahati #model #girl #bokeh #swirl_bokeh (at Guwahati, India)
