An old friend of mine has been diagnosed with Parkinson's and other degenerative diseases, but refuses to give up. His electric wheel chair complete with tripod mount, gimbal, and an impressively looking Olympus outfit allows shooting small birds and butterflies in his garden. Kudos :)

Birna, I really admire his spirit.  I lost two uncles to Parkinsons - both  had acquired brain injuries as young men (1 at war, 1 from an industrial accident) and in both of their cases it turned quite ugly at the end.  I hope that your friend fares better.

Great processing, Paco. It has a vintage feel that suits the subject.

Thank you Ian. I want to try those lenses... 8)

I tried the rodenstock 50mm 0,75 with the adapter Birna design and it goes to infinity. Beyond infinity actually. Because it has a step ring it is also severely decenter. Will have to to remove it If I want a centered lens. The jury is still out
Z6, rodenstock 50mm 0.75

Just be careful and don't blame me if you scratch the sensor :(


Camera must be set to electronic shutter and silent mode.
