Vintage Lenses covid-19: day 274 | US: GA | info | act

Matt Osborne, on the YouTubes, has me thinking about vintage lenses. After Steve Huff’s lauding of the Voigtlander Heliar 3.5/50mm, I’ve been thinking about mounting some more vintage glass to my SL. His video “5 Vintage 35mm Lenses” walks through a couple of good choices, one of which I’ve owned before.

. . .

I think, too, I need to start categorizing my photos based on what lens I’m using. Going back though the year or so I was into buying, trying, and trading lenses, I poorly documented just what I was using. Going through my Photos’ stream, I can often infer what phots were taken with what lens, but I should have been more diligent about the process. Ever heard of keywords? Duh. I don’t really want to go back and add categories to all the photos I’ve uploaded—maybe thousands at this point—but I definitely will from this point forward, like this for the Trioplan 2.8/100.
