This is one of the greatest portraits I have ever seen, really. So simple and breathtaking at the same time. (this window looks like another galaxy and the lighting is just masterpiece)

I love the light in this one! What about the lens? Does it work with aperture priority on your camera?

I am asking because I have one of the best 50mm metal lenses ever built by Pentax in the 80s with the aperture of 1.4 but it is fully manual and it is quite risky on film when I get some mean low light conditions to shoot.

VeraAda In reply to LevyNagy [2009-07-18 08:45:04 +0000 UTC]

Thank you
I haven't tried it with aperture priority actually, but it seems to work fine on my digital camera. I just have to set it to the smallest aperture setting - f16 - and then i can change the aperture with the button on the actual camera. The only annoying part is there's no auto-focus, and I do find it difficult to focus manually with this lens, but only when it's on the digital camera so i have to take my time and be careful. But when it's on the film nikon slr (i use a nikon fm2) it's very easy to focus because of the little focusing circle... you know those little circles, where there's a line splitting it in half and you have to match it so it's sharp? My DSLR doesn't have this unfortunately.

LevyNagy In reply to VeraAda [2009-07-18 09:44:42 +0000 UTC]

I see. I never use auto-focus but make a good use of focus assistance light (the green spot you mentioned) with manual focus. I guess I have an eye for the right focus but I would like to have aperture priority because it makes things easier especially when you are or a hurry. It always worked for me that way because I am more spontaneous than experimental.

VeraAda In reply to LevyNagy [2009-07-18 14:33:26 +0000 UTC]

I used to always use manual focus, and I still do sometimes, but I take a lot of photos in pretty dark conditions and that's when I have problems with manual focus - I can't see sharply enough in the dark. I always forget to bring my glasses too >.< So yeah, auto-focus helps. But it's manual with the 50mm lens, and with any other camera I have that's not digital.
