Playing around with this combo this weekend: an old Minolta AF 50mm f1.4 lens on my Sony a6400. The converter renders it usable, but fully manual.

Manual focusing is a bit hard for someone who is completely used to autofocus, but I see potential:

I love that the newer systems have included converters that lets us use old glass. I have some old old Nikkor glass that while I do have to shoot in full manual like you, the optics are simply stellar. One reason I've never jumped brand from Nikon, just too much glass to walk away from, lol.

I need to pick the camera back up. . . I put it down to pick up tools in my free time. One project became 20.

A little taste of the cherry trees here.

Since we were talking about cameras vs iPhone recently, I took these two with a mirrorless camera BUT with a Holga toy lens (a plastic 20usd lens). Personally, I really like the effect. The post above this one is with my iPhone 7.

At Christmas we bought a beautiful pink poinsettia, it is still with us-just. I have removed all the dead stuff and It is giving out new shoots.

Went to the garden centre this morning for breakfast, nipped into the 'craft corner'.

We went for a hike today. Nothing huge ot anything like that. Hubby is still not 100% after his man flu (aka a cold) and I had a flu shot yesterday so we were happy to walk something familiar and short at 8.5km (5 miles). There is a lot of up and down on this route, some 325m or so, (nearly 1,000 feet).

It's hard to give any scale to this, but that river is 500m below us.

The final photo is a panorama photo taken on portrait, not landscape because (apart from the massive increase in quality) the height of the gorge is actually too great to get in a single landscape photo.
We've not seen it with this much water in it before, so out really came as no surprise to find that the Canyon Slot trail which follows the river bed was closed.

It is a bit misty today.

Some autumnal colours

This is at a road junction I pass often but for once I wasn't driving, so I was able to grab it through the windscreen as we allowed down from 110kph to take the corner.

And this was the tree that we parked in front of at tree supermarket this morning.

Here’s the same suspension bridge . I usually take it to cross the river which goes through town.
