Fotografie in Stereo

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.

Portraits of Classic American Cars

I had some issues with whether the aperture set was always the one used. Anyway here are some mugshots.

Sony A7r3, Vivitar Series 1 24-48 f3.8.

The first is a Lincoln 1956 Continental Mk2 or "Great White".

The second is a 1969 Cadillac DeVille convertible.

The third is a 1954 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe de Ville

The fourth is a 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie, specifically the Skyliner retractable hardtop model, identifiable by the distinctive "19 BEAUTIFUL 59" license plate frame and "BRITISH COLUMBIA" text.

Very nice,

I love US cars from the 60ies and 70ies. I still own an old Jeep Wrangler...

But the Vivitar shows a lot of purple fringing. I have to check mine for that reason.

Best regards,

Thanks.

Not a lens that would displace various others I could use but the zoom was useful for this application (settings not noted).
