The next lens!
Hello!
Today I switched lenses, and I will be shooting with this vintage (over 40 years old) Fujinon 55 mm F/2.2 lens until next Wednesday!
Fujinon f=55mm 2.2 lens
Canon EOS 550D EF 75-300mm III250 mm F7.1 1/320s Dual-ISO 800+1600 Click image to enlarge.
There's going to be a lot of bokeh!
It's going to produce interesting photos for sure, because I can't change the aperture because of a particular physical design feature of the lens that'll force me to shoot wide open.
The lens has been designed to be a fully automatic lens on a film camera that supports it (eg. the Fujica that came with the lens).
Neither my Canon DSLR, or the adapter have any way to push down the metal pin that "signals" the lens that the camera isn't in automatic mode. Thus changing the aperture manually by turning the aperture ring doesn't actually do anything.
I will likely need to find out a way to fix the pin in place somehow, but not break the lens in the process.
Anyhow...
I shot some other photos with the EF 75-300 III, but again ran out of time editing them. Sorry about that. I'll be posting some shots tomorrow.
Here's the first photo taken with the Fujinon f=55mm 2.2 lens:

That's it for today.
See you later!
Just out of curiosity, if you're using a manual lens like that, are you using "vanilla" Canon camera software or have you installed Magic Lantern? I found ML a great help when I wanted to get my manual focus done right.
Yep, I almost forgot that I've been using Magic Lantern practically all the time since I found it in 2013 or something. Such an easy thing to forget if you don't use other non-ML Canons.
Lately I have noticed that ML now magically detects (I have no idea how) that I'm using a manual lens, and turns the trap focus on for me. No more scrambling through the menus to find the option.
Oh, and I also get to play Arkanoid on my Canon when bored, so yes, I'm very happy with Magic Lantern.
@gamer00,
I see a nice blurred photography there! Seems changing to vintage lens might help us to see some great vintage type (I feel that photography as a vintage time one) photography!
