When you love the #CrappyCommieCameraParty and the #shittylenschallenge then you have to stop for the Tair 11A 135/2.8 as well. Lot's of character outdoors but it makes also a good impression in the studio.

Walking along a track, a faint noise. What is it? A low hum maybe? Ohhhh....
A Swarm of Bees.
Flowers by the Sea.
The Charcoal Hand.
Walking in the forest.
Tea Tree flowers, and beetles.

I finally got an adapter to work with the cheap Canon FD mount lens I picked up several years ago. This is a Toyo Optics f4.5 80-200mm.
It’s pretty slick. Took me a while to figure out how to get into it. Apparently you need to adjust a ring on the back to release the rear lens cap. Then, when putting it back on, pressing it into place releases a catch holding a spring from locking the cap into place. It also has a slide out lens hood.
I haven’t done any shooting at proper light levels to evaluate the quality of the lens (I’m sure it’ll be poor as if seems to be a cheap kit lens), but it’s a neat little lens to try out.
Oh, for folks who haven’t already done your homework, the lens may not work until you turn on “Release Shutter Without Lens” in the menu.
Gum tree leaves.
Despite being evergreen, gum trees lose many leaves due to the wind.
Miniature Zen Rock Garden?
Not quite.
If you see this pattern, look out! It's a Jack Jumper's nest - an ant that will sting repeatedly, and en masse. They jump about when agitated, hence the name.
Each tiny pebble was carried out, one at a time, as the nest was built. They will select a spot and place each individually until they are happy with it's position. It might look random but they take some care in the placement.
