And I thought Frank and I were the only ones who still used those. (I
actually have a pair in K mount. Amazingly inexpensive from e-bay).

Re: PESO: Ferry Emmalisa
I like it, except for the background, which is cluttered and distracting. Were you at f/2.8?

Re: PESO: Ferry Emmalisa
The Vivtar is big and heavy, but I do like the feel of it. I do not normally carry it in my walking around bag, but I decided to just for the pleasure of using the lens. It is a bit slow to use, being manual focus, and as a screwmount I use stop down metering (ask your dad about that term ). The result is the excesive clutter in the background that Rick pointed out. I still like the image despite its imperfections. It is a small ferry, we do have smaller ones, and much bigger ones as well.
