Appreciate it!
That's a really cool photo did you use a manual focus lens? I saw you had mentioned an adapter
Yeah! It’s a Minolta MD 50mm Macro. I have a few Minolta lenses and just use dumb Amazon adapters.
The Minolta 50 is cool as it came from the factory with an extension tube that will let it get to 1:1. Everything manual so I just move the camera back and forth while taking photos hoping one would at least be in focus.
