Vintage Lens Testing : Industar И-61 lens and Andy
This is Andy, he works for Cancer Research UK . I've bought a few vintage lenses from him from the Cancer Research shop in Arnold, Nottingham
He sold me a Helios 44M, Pentacon 50mm and a Pentax zoom.
Andy works in several shops and among his many tasks he values the Camera equipment donated to the shops.
I was passing the shop last week with my Industar И-61 53mm attached to my Sony A6000. I nipped in the shop to show my latest purchase to Andy (I bought the И-61 from a vintage market). I often nip into the shop for a chat with Andy if I see him in the shop.
I took some pics of Andy and this is one that I think shows the versatility of the forty something year old lens.
Shot under shop lighting , the lens has still produced a decent picture.
ISO 640 and I think about f4 / f5.6 (I really must start writing down the aperture settings when using my vintage lenses
The dof works well - just enough detail in the background and Andy's nice and sharp. He also looks wryly amused, love his expression.
Looks like he's thinking 'Oh, it's Phil. I can probably sell a few more lenses today, then' ;-)
