I got myself a second-hand Sony α7 II. It arrived today, along with the adaptor for M42-mount lenses. The weather was nice, so I took it on a test drive to the local park.

OK, I used to be sceptical about mirrorless cameras, but focus peaking is so good. All these shots were taken with manual focus lenses from the 1970s. I'm shooting auto for now. All shots were edited.

The flowers were with a Helios-44-2 58mm f/2. The boats and the ducks and fish were with Soligor 200mm f/3.5. Both lenses are from the 1970s.

Halfway through my walk, I realized I wasn't shooting in raw. Here are a couple of ones that were in raw.

The boats are with the Soligor 200mm and the iris is with the Helios 58mm.

One more, but it's of a turkey vulture eating a dead fish, so I'm CW-ing it. The Soligor 200 again.
