Tom, you are a very fortunate man. What a lovely bunch of grandkids and you captured them well. Very Happy

That first one is magic, you have to be very pleased with it.

Lovely photos.
What is a cubby house?
Could I adapt this lens to my canon?

I use a Canon EOS 5D3 with 3 different Mamiya 645 lenses without any issues. Infinity focus works fine.

I recommend the best adapter you can afford, though. I use some Chinese ones for 50 Euro and they are OK. Even the AF beep works.
The Kiton one has even better mechanics but is twice the price.

The awesome thing with using a MF lens on a FF sensor is that the the effective aperture is lowered. The real aperture is of course what it says on the barrel as is the focal length. But the effective focal length and aperture are lowered.

Most recent dozens are usually taken with a mamiya lens.

Bokeh is not what I expected it to be. Almost a bit of swirley effect.

What apertures did you use?

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
Twin girls - one is a thinker and the other is a do-er............. can you tell which Very Happy
A cubby house is like a child's play house that they have made for themselves.
This one was an Indian teepee made from some found poles and a sad old tarpaulin that I was about to throw out.
All of these were shot at around f4 - apart from minor cropping, no PP
