Hello, photography lovers! Today I’m bringing you the final installment of the photos I took during a cycling time trial a couple of weeks ago. I’ve divided this series into three parts: photos taken with the 80mm Carl Zeiss f/2.8; photos taken with the 70-300mm f/4-5.6… and these final ones today, captured with the Praktica 135mm f/2.8. For me, these are the best of the bunch, along with the 80mm shots.
I’m in love with manual glass… I don’t know… there’s just a certain "magic" in the photos. I feel like modern lenses lose that spark because the process becomes too easy. The bokeh (background blur) on these vintage lenses is incredible, and the color rendering is… out of this world. As I’ve been doing for the past year, these were shot on my Canon 5D Mark III.
Regarding the event:
If you want to see Parts 1 and 2, they are available on my blog. Usually, I alternate between this community and the "Black and White Photography Lovers" group, but I really wanted to share this specific series here… I feel that the color science of these lenses in action deserves to be appreciated in full color rather than monochrome.
Would you like to know anything else? Let me know in the comments!
