Red Umbrella - NEX-6 & Kodak Projection Ektanon 3 inch f2.
I love camera gear and picture taking. This is a window to my world of photography -- how I see through the lenses and what gear I use.

Red Umbrella
Many people wonder why some of us even bother with manual focus lenses. Isn't it going backwards? Below is one example why we do. It's pretty hard for a modern lens to exhibit this kind of character in a picture: very blurry corners, severe vignetting, but extremely sharp in the center. All these characters work together to pull the viewer's attention to the subject more strongly than a pictures taken with a well corrected lens. If this picture was taken with a normal 85mm modern lens, it would be less interesting, for sure.
