So there’s an interesting story to how these photos came about. It all stem from a meeting of creatives who were accompanying a friend who was purchasing a brand new camera system. While exploring that particular camera store I found my holy grail…a box full of beat up used vintage lenses. After about 30-45 minutes of absolutely silence while testing different camera mounts and adapters, focal lengths and aperture settings, lens brands and filters…I found a gem. The Vivitar 70-210mm f/2.8 Macro. This lens is so much fun, it’s heavy as all hell but fast, it’s sharp and pair really well with my Fujifilm X-H1. I then asked one of my beautiful friends Johanna (pictures below), to step outside with me for no more than 10 minutes and we captured these 3 images. I’m in love with the textures and bokeh that this lens produces and honestly Johanna looks cool as hell without even trying.
p.s. this lens was only $25!
