Snowman and Woman -- NEX-5N & Chinon 55mm f1.4.
Took a walk and found this woman and the snowman staring at each other outside the Georgian House at the corner of University & Queen and I thought it was kind of funny.
Shot this picture with a Chinon (Tomioka) 55mm f1.4 lens. At one time, I had so many variance of this lens with different names: Chinon, Mamiya Sekor, Petri, Cosina, Yashica, etc., all either made by Tomioka or based on the design of the Tomioka 55mm f1.4. A little soft wide open, but sharpens up after f2. By f2.8, it's extremely sharp. Very nice lens indeed. The Chinon version, if not marked (there is a version that says Chinon/Tomioka, I have had both versions) as Tomioka, can be had for a song. If you need a fast lens for low light shooting, consider these old M42 mount goodies.
