Bug eyes
One of the Vulcan's previous evolutions. Miss this setup. The rack over the headlights was super handy, and was really light. I may try to set this back up again someday after the hardtail conversion. We will have to see how I feel about it later on. Right now I really like the skinnier look of a single headlight.
Manual
I got out my old 50mm F/1.4 Super Takumar manual lens and Canon EOS adapter the other day and played with it a bit.
This shot and the one of the Tonka Post apoc semi below were taking with this lens.
I rarely take my two Super Takumar manual lenses with me anymore because bag space is so limited and they weigh a ton.
I should really make an effort to get them out more often .... color is funky though, since there is some yellowing on the lens. I have used a black light to burn some of it out of it, but some still remains.
I still dig it. It's hard to beat the amazing feel of the precise, smooth, mega-mechanical feel of a nicely built manual focusing lens. Wish people hadn't figuired out HOW nice... prices are pretty high now. Oh well.
