Finally remembered to use the 17-35mm + dumb adaptor while out shooting Monk Bretton Abbey ruins (Barnsley, Yorkshire) yesterday. It works!

This was shot at 17mm on my A7rii (aperture permanently locked to f/8). I think as a free lens retrieved from the attic, it can do a job.

Lots of geometric and perspective distortion correction required in post. It would have been a heaviliy distorting lens uncorrected on film in its day.

Very nice!

OT, but my M42s are pretty good too, especially on the G9.
