River Duddon with Miranda 2.8/28

[iangreenhalgh1]

Hi folks

This is the River Duddon, Cumbria UK. Lens is the old 1960s Miranda EE 2.8/28 in Miranda bayonet mount, I made an adapter for NEX out of an old Soligor TC and some NEX extensions tubes. I like this lens, it's pretty sharp and has nice colours and contrast. Series is short because I slipped on the mossy rocks and fell.

Beautiful scenery, very well done!

Cheers. I visited this spot before with my Pentacon 3.5/30 and the results were not as good, this Miranda did much better.

Lovely, can't wait to put my new Nex5N to the test

Nice, Ian. This is one of my favorite focal lengths on M4/3. I'm looking foward to getting one of these for my G1.

I picked one of these lenses up today - charity shop again in PK mount, it's also 'macro' . It's a very close relative of the Vivitar, if not from the same egg ? It's a nice looking lens, but my K10 is still away for repair.

Very nice. I especially like the detail in the last one.

I hope neither you or your equipment was damaged in the fall!

The Miranda in PK mount is different, I think it's a Cosinon, not sure. This Miranda I have is an old one for the Miranda Sensorex, maybe made by Sun. It's a good lens, nothing special though.

Apart from a nasty dent in the filter ring and a bit of a bruised knee everything was fine, thanks for asking.

That's the third time my NEX has narrowly avoided having a swim in a river.
