Good day ,
This morning i went in to the garden with a combination of old manual focus glass the Panagor Auto Macro Converter and the Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm f1.7 lens mounted on my Sony A7II full frame camera you can see the combination at the end of this post 📷.
the first set of images were made made with camera on Auto to see how that would work under poor light conditions, sky was grey and cloudy.
