First Photo using the new Industar И-61 55mm f2.8 vintage lens

My first photo with the vintage lens shown in my previous photo

Ruby and myself shot using the beautiful Industar И-61 55mm f2.8 Russian lens . This is shot at f5.6, ISO 400 on my Sony A6000. It has a lovely almost 3D pop to it.

Ruby wasn't really up to sitting for a portrait !

I was actually sitting .... on a patio table chair !
oh yes it does have a nice pop to it. great separation from that brick. lovely Ruby!

Aww! What a lovely pair! Ruby looks so comfy in your arms. =) Great job with your lens!

She does have a rather pained look on her face! However it shows the great shot from your lens!

well taken on your new toy

You have made a good choice with your new lens. You always look great, God bless you. Ruby doesn't seem to be in the mood for photos today.

Oh dear, ruby doesn't look very happy, does she? Ah well, the best models can have off days. Hope she's OK?
You look very jolly as usual, nice portrait.
What lovely, subtle depth variations that lens creates!

Aw look at that cute face. Not yours, Phil 🙂
September 21st, 2020  
Well you don’t need to ask for your money back Phil, super result! It’s done a great portrait of you both.

@happypat thanks Pat, I knew it was a good 'un , I do my research ....oh and I already had one too !!

@tinley23 lesley , I know I cannot compete with a whippet !!!

@dulciknit thanks Alison, Ruby is always OK , although she isn't always the best of "sitters" ! The lens is a Zeiss Tessar design and some say it is world class. That might be pushing it but it does create great images !

@sangwann thanks dione, I am pleased you like this shot

@777margo thanks Margo
