I love these shots. They have a wonderful feel to them, especially the flower shot. I bet that would look great printed to a good size and hung on a wall. Love the sunsets as well. Lots of atmosphere and feel to them.

I have the Nikon Z6 and 24-70 S F4 and it’s very sharp. Too sharp in some ways for portraits. I’d like to find a vintage portrait lens to use with it (or on one of my Panasonics), but so far I haven’t seen anything.

I’ve never seen a lens as low as $5, but I think I’ll go bargain hunting this weekend around some local secondhand stores. I might find something that is unloved and cheap!

I have an old Minolta SRT101 that my grandfather gave to me and a couple of lenses (Vivitar 28-90 2.8-3.5 & Rokkor 58mm 1.4) that go with that + a 2x teleconverter.

Here’s some of my favorite shots I’ve gotten so far in the first week that I’ve had it. I shot these all from my house.

Yeah, best $14 I’ve ever spent.
