What a Performance!
Not the music, getting a usable image out of this stereo pair.
Sony A7r3, Vivitar Series 1 24-48mm f3.8.
I had used this lens only once before.
The brightness in not stage lighting. There is haze from the sky about the stage, brightish 100% cloud, facing north. I didn't have a hood, now on order.
I had been photographic Classic American cars, setting mostly f11.
It was only when I got home that I found out that everything was at full aprture.
The lens is in Canon FD breechlock mount. There is a ring on the adapter "lock<-> open" which looked much like it was meant to keep it on the lens. After much experimentation, I found "lock" kept the aperture wide open. I had seen stop-down levers but never this nonsense.
Anyway f3.8 is not as bad as it might have been.
I have done a lot of work to make this presentable.
Update:
I thought the above problem might have wrecked my car images. Not the case! I have dozens of usable images with no flare problem either.
Maybe I was fiddling with it while I was sat at the table, waiting for the band to play? Moral: Leave the fiddling to the band.
