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!
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!
