I took two vintage lenses on holiday, my Industar И-61 53mm f2.8 and my Jupiter 11A 135mm f4 lens
This is shot with the Industar and is the first night of our holiday . I'm stood on the balcony / terrace of our hotel room , behind me is a Pine Tree Forest and if I looked to the left of the frame I would see the the bay of Cala Mesquida, Mallorca.
I couldn't do a sea background shot as the background was too bright and sunny.
The catchlights in my eyes are a reflection of the room patio doors.
The Industar И-61 is a cracking lens , it is nice and light , looks really retro and takes really good portraits.
@casablanca thank you very much casa' I am always happy :)
@happypat Thanks Pat, I was careful on the beach with my camera Pat, I have a sensor cleaner dust cleaner puffer, that I can blow sand off the camera with :)
@busylady thanks judith , I do the occasional vintage lens selfie , probably because I when I do my strangers I don;t want the extra faffing about with a manual focus lens :)
