Happy SUNday! – images from a 1959 lens.

Very nice colors and contrast. This 35mm lens, when used on a crop sensor camera like the Fuji, provides an effective focal length of approximately 52mm, which is considered a “normal” or “standard” lens.

This classic lens looks right at home on my Fuji X-T2.

I enjoy using classic lenses on my modern cameras. It’s easy and inexpensive to adapt your lenses to your mirrorless digital cameras.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris
