This is Peter. He's not part of my 100 strangers project as I know him through Arnold Camera Club.
He's also a member of Arnold Arts Society who were holding an exhibition in the local community centre.
We decided to incorporate a visiit to the exhibition as part of our Ruby walk, I went in and Jane waited outside with Ruby and then Jane went in and I waited outside with Ruby.
Whe I saw Peter I tasked him for a portrait as I was testing a new lens. A Jupiter 11A 135mm f4 prime lens. We had a little chat about the lens and camera and then I guided him through various poses. This shot was captured as Jane came out of the centre to see Peter's wife Kath holding Ruby, much to everyone;s amusement !
Just in case you didn't see my two previous images with this lens, the Jupiter 11A is a Russian prime lens built in the KOMZ , Kazan Optical Mechanical Factory, 435 miles due East of Moscow, The lens is a copy of a Carl Zeiss "sonnar" design. Some people argue it is as good as the said Carl Zeiss . The serial number markings on the lens (first tow digits), indicate it is from 1972
I am sure you will agree this vintage lens did a good job.
Phil, I read your comment to me and now cannot find it so am answering you here. Hope you had a good holiday. I went looking for you on Flickr! Now, which of us will have ‘I loved my A6000’ as our epitaph??!! I bought an extra A6000 body to save changing lenses so much. Traded in my little Sony and got quite a good deal.
