The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: Corydalis lutea

Photographed using a Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens having M42 screw thread fitted via an adapter to a Canon EOS 30D camera. On the Canon this lens gives a field of view of just under 90mm.

This 55mm f/1.4 Chinon lens came with a Chinon CX camera dating from c1976. I bought them on eBay for £37 in 2015. I only wanted the lens, which was made by the Tomioka company for Chinon, who sub-contracted all their lens needs during that period. I photographed it using a Helios-44 58mm f/2 lens on a Canon EOS 30D camera. The Helios is even older, probably made during the 1960s. It is a preset lens; I had no experience of such technology until acquiring it. I got it on eBay attached to a Zenit-E camera.

Fashion photographer Erik Madigan Heck undertakes most of his assignments with just one lens: a Canon EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 released in 1987 and long discontinued. It is a push-pull design with an optical formula very similar to, if not the same as, the old FD lens of the same designation. Heck believes the lens, which isn't in the best of shape, possesses a character that benefits his work. (My copy - pictured above - after being held together with sticky tape on the switch which was supposed to provide a choice of auto or manual focus has given up the ghost, so I understand perfectly the phrase 'not in the best of shape'). gizmodo.com/this-fashion-photographer-uses-only-one-beat-up-hand-me-1586569058
