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.

Chennai light and colours

Chennai Love, light, speed, system and love with respect.  Freedom with responsibility.  Colours with fresh air and wonderful morning light.  

Pallavaram Friday market, 2 hours in the morning

 Pallavaram, just beside Chennai airport, has a 2 km straight road in between the military campaus and railway track. This otherwise industrial use road on Friday morning becomes an orchestrated chaos with sellers selling their household to stolen items and buyers keep on negotiating till they can buy it almost for free even if they know ultimately that electronic item might not work at all. In between some fights happen, some pets change hands, some vegetable plucked from the backyard change their address and use.
