Philmophlegm bought me some lenses for my birthday, and because they were not a surprise, I got to try them out a bit early.   They are all old manual lenses which probably came off old film SLRs, and I am using them with an adaptor on my NEX 3.  I had no idea how well this would work - I'm experimenting!  But old film lenses are not expensive, so I have got three Pentax fit lenses to play with:

a  Pentax 50mm  1:1.7 
a Pentax 28mm 1:2.8 (came with a case which had a receipt from 1988 in it!) 
a Tokina 70-210mm, 1.4-5.6 zoom lens

All of these were taken with the 50mm, which I am liking a LOT.  Tomorrow I shall play with the zoom lens I think - it's a bit big and heavy for the teeny  NEX body really, but not unmanageably so.   Manual focussing is teaching me a lot about focus and aperture.

Thank you! It's so nice when you try some new gadget and it actually makes a difference to the results!

Excellent! I love how he's surrounded in the first one by a corona of fading fur, that blends in with the colours of the background like some sort of a magical effect. Is that a teeny glimpse of gormless tongue in the second picture? The last picture looks like a still from an angst-ridden photostory, in which a strong Henning comforts an emotional, weeping Kjetil.

That last one is my favorite.

Two big brown cats together have 4 times the impact of one big brown cat!

Oh, those are lovely - my favourite is the last one as well, though I also like the second one, very full of character.
