I wanna take out my camera sometime and take photos :blobcat_camera:

I like shooting prime/manual and Chinese manufacturers like Kamlan make very decent versions of mid-1900s German/Soviet lenses for very cheap compared to really modern ones. And I sure don’t care about a bit of lost sharpness or distortion when I can shoot at F/2 for cheap

Wait it’s actually F/1.1 (but gives much better sharpness at F/2)

@s0 thanks, now I know my next lens will have to be something vintage with the widest aperture I can find :>

@f0x I can recommend the modern repros over the vintage ones because their grease perishes & fucks the mechanisms

@f0x I bought a Jupiter 3 but it’s unusable because you just can’t shift the focus ring without also unscrewing the screw mount… bayonet mounts were a good idea
