Old cameras and lenses pay

Just a little note, I sold a picture today for a tv-commercial. 400€. Shot with aus Jena Sonnar 135mm Zebra, an eastgerman lens from the 60′s for which I payed £10 :) You don’t need the newest technology to work with pictures.

    Hello, I have found my analog 50mm f / 1.9, which I bought in the 80s. Works perfect on my digital Pentax! And the sharpness! Wow! No more autofokus fore this old lady! =)
    From now on i go fore older lenses!

    Nice choice :) For me its the contrast between the sharp and the bokeh that makes me love this lenses. For some reasons, they don’t make bokeh like they did before I was born ;)
