This was photographed using a Tomioka-made Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens (circa 1976) on a Fujifilm X-E1 camera (circa 2013) via an M42-Fuji X adapter. Focussing has not proved to be as easy as I had expected but that is more a problem of diminishing eyesight than a criticism of the Fuji engineers. This photograph had the odds set in my favour with the aperture closed down. The 55mm Chinon is my favourite old legacy lens but I shall try out a Helios-44 and a Carl Zeiss Tessar, as well as the bubble bokeh specialist Fujinon 55mm f/2.2 in due course.
