Hello :)

 

Recently I bought Sony A6000 and become addicted to the old manual lenses.

A lot of character and atmosphere.

I would like to share some of my photos with my "new" Contax 90mm F2.8 Sonnar T*

 

(I will update the thread)

Will add more photos.

 

If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer.

 

To be honest this is one of the most difficult lens to work with.

- No optical stabilisation

- 135mm equivalent

- the focus ring is on the adapter: it is tiny and stiff

- because all above shooting moving people is a big challenge (for me)

 

But sometimes the results compensate all cons :)

Sorry, I have lots of photos with this lens, but not enough time :)

 

Here is another favorite one of mine recent trip in Thailand, this time from the Sanctuary of truth in Pattaya:

I am not able to edit the tittle of the thread. If some moderator could edit and remove the "sony A6000" bit will be nice :)

Recently I chaged to Sony A7RII and I do not want to create another thread for the same lens, it's better here and anyone can contribute as well.

 

Here is one from last night:

Have you noticed any issues at infinity focus? I'm using the same lens on an A7R2 with the techart (latest firmware), and whilst the autofocus works very well on nearby targets it seems to overshoot at infinity.

Really like them.
