<p> Second one:</p> <p> </p><div></div>

<p>Some weeks ago I posted a couple of frames from a roll of Fuji C200 shot on Pentona II. I wasn't happy with the results and scanned the same roll a bit differently. The scanned pictures looked a little better than the earlier ones. Posting a couple frames.<br /><br /></p> <div></div>

<p>This one is from a recent travel.</p> <p> </p><div></div>

<p>Another picture taken from inside the cab:</p> <div></div>

<p>Usually the commute from my office to home in the office cab is long, slow and boring. The traffic grinds to a halt frequently. Sitting in the cab and watching the swarm of vehicles is not something that I relish. However, on a few occasions halting traffic has led to unexpected opportunities for taking pictures of the drama on the street.</p> <p> </p><div></div>

<p>Great pictures, Mike! I particularly like the third one.</p>

<p>Another one:</p> <div></div>

<p>Some time ago there was a post by Rick Drawbridge on Pentona a viewfinder camera from the bygone era. Rick, as always, posted some superb pictures he that he alone can produce from that little toy of a camera. Now here are a couple of not so gratifying results from someone who has given up the hope of becoming Rick when he grows up. :D</p> <div></div>

<p>Oh I used Epson V600 + VueScan for scanning these images. </p>

<p>The third and last.</p> <div></div>

<p>Here's another.</p> <div></div>

<p>Thanks Mike for starting this thread and keeping it active. </p><div></div>

<p>Rajmohan, interesting pictures! I've been eyeing this camera for a long time but on eBay I find it to be quite expensive. I hope you managed to get a steal. :)</p>

<p>Mike, Mitakon has focal reducers for several mounts and I've tried only Canon EF and M42 with my Sony A6000 camera. I've found Canon EF focal reducer to be good but can't say the same about M42 focal reducer. I use EF focal reducer to mount my EF-adapted Rolleinar lenses on Sony A6000 and they work fine. Quite happy with this set up as it gives me a poor man's alternative to full-frame digital camera :) and I get to use Rolleinar lenses in the native focal length. On the other hand, Mitakon M42 reducer seems to turn the lenses into close focusing lenses at the expense of losing infinity focus. I tried several M42 lenses and with many I couldn't focus beyond 10 feet. So I had to send back M42 focal reducer to the seller. Don't know if the problem I faced was due to a bad sample. </p>

<p>#2: Rolleinar MC 35mm f2.8 + Lens Turbo II + Sony A6000<br> </p><div></div>

<p>Thanks Mike. <br /><br />#1: Rolleinar MC 35mm f2.8 + Lens Turbo II + Sony A600<br> Something that attracted my eyes in one of my random street walks, not sure it has any meaning other than this insignificant fact. :)</p><div></div>

<p>Nice submissions so far. Looking forward to see many more during the course of the weekend.</p>

<p>Does a combination of a classic lens such as Rolleinar 35mm f2.8 (QBM) lens and Mitakon Lens Turbo II focal reducer mounted on Sony A6000 (APS-C crop sensor) qualify as 'classic camera'? The effective focal length is ~35mm and apparently entire image circle of the lens is made use of.</p>

<p>Hi Rajmohan, nice pictures from Vitessa T. What lens did you use to take these pictures? </p>

<p>Nikon N80 + Nikkor 50mm f1.8 afd + Fuji C200<br> </p><div></div>
