manual lenses on a modern camera

My birthday gift (to self) was a pair of adapters for my Olympus camera body. I’ve got one apiece for my old Minolta A-mount (manual) and Pentax K-mount gear. They work beautifully, in fact the K adapter allows the lenses to work better than they do on my actual Pentax DSLR – instead of a double diaphragm actuations with each frame shot, the diaphragm is stopped down all the time. Woohoo!

It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

—Wendell Berry
