A bunch of them, courtesy of my wonderful husband.
I'm having a hard time adapting to ‘the blur’. The wide-open aperture of these lenses are wild. These are manual aperture and focus lenses and I'm dubious about my eyesight being a good judge of manipulating those two features on the lens to achieve a satisfactory result. The squinting and eye-blinking and shoving spectacles around my face is quite ridiculous. Probably looks it, too.
I usually leave my camera in aperture-priority mode, and let the camera do its autofocus thing all by its sweet self.
Hopefully I’ll hit that sweet spot with these lenses with enough practice.
they look like what we call carnations (and I think I'm understanding more your comment on the last photo you uploaded, but we get to see them in reverse order lol) I'm not a fan of the lensbaby at all really
My husband also thought they were carnations - and so do I think so - but the florist said they are Japanese camellias. 😵💫
