Testing three manual lenses with Sony A7RII

Testing three manual lenses with Sony A7RII - Marriages of times

I am a lens crazy wanderer, I know this little about me for sure. I like a very well engineered lens, more so if it is old, manual focus ones.

And that craze is well supported by Santosh with his enormous collection of old manual lenses (gems per me).

This time I tried three lenses on the latest (not so any more) digital mirrorless camera Sony A7RII.
Below are fast sample shots taken with three lenses, two of Konica and one of Vivitar.
Shots are mostly taken at their max open apertures.

Konica 50mm f1.4

Konica 135mm f2.5

Rabindranath and his songs, Rabindrasangeet is every Bengali's colour of their culture, essence of their values.

KGL-Kashmir Great Lakes Trek

Whatever you say, Things to do before you die, Bucket list, must visit places on Earth...Kashmir remained in all those lists, for me. Then, I have a book, name Witness, a photo book of journalistic photo of Kashmir, images of Kashmir troubles. Interestingly, which the editor of the book also exclaimed, that there is no image of Kashmiri Hindus being fled or extracted from Kashmir. With this complex state of visions, news, anger, frustration, religious bias beneficiaries one thing remain same and true to my existance, that I have to see Kashmir. And I do not want to see tourist Kashmir, I want to see Kashmir as Kashmiris see. Their, my first step or plan you can say is to have a trek to reach deep inside of Kashmir, where Kashmiris are with Kashmir and themselves. Hence Kashmir Great lakes happened. Images, I want to speak for themselves, only when I want to say something more of my vision, I have added some notes on top of those images. Curfew sick Daal lake on August 7th, 2022. Thr
