In 2009, this was the state of the photography, here, at YFGF: a Canon PowerShot SD400 point-and-shoot held together with —if not spit and baling wire— band-aids and duct tape.
In 2018, this: a seven-year-old Olympus Pen E-PL1 with a thirty-seven-year-old lens.
The gear has changed. But the technique?
-----more-----
- Adapting a full-frame Canon FD breech-mount 100mm ƒ/2.8 SSC coating (Super Spectra Coating) SLR lens —circa late 1970s— to a mirrorless Micro Four Thirds camera.
- Adapter: Fotodiox Mount Adapter.
- Adapted like this, tfocus and aperture must be manually controlled but the 'effective' focal length is doubled.
- The "Super Spectra Coating" designation was, of course, just wonderfully silly jargon for lens coating (similar to the en vogue "curate" for "manage a beer bar").
- Note the Dymo embossed tag identifying the original owner of the lens (circa late 1970s).
- Pic(k) of the Week: one in a weekly series of photos taken (or noted) by me, posted on Saturdays, and often, but not always (as is the case today), with a good fermentable as the subject.
