(Not the truck:eek3:). I just bought a CCTV lens - 25mm f/1.4 (closed circuit tv) from ebay for $17.00. The lens is new and comes from China. I belong to a vintage lens Facebook group and I'm amazed at how many lenses there are that you can adapt to your current camera. I've had a Helios lens which creates swirly bokeh for several years so I was already intrigued by vintage lenses. Then to my good fortune one of the webmasters of the Vintage Lens FB group joined my camera club and invited me to join their group. The group has over 6,000 members worldwide and they are knowledge about all the different lenses so it is a wealth of information. You have to use an adapter for each lens so that it matches the mount on your camera but you can find them easily on B&H or ebay and so far I've been happy with the results.
This is one of my first attempts with the cctv lens. It was taken near my house and I converted to B&W using Nik Silver Efex Pro. You can get varying degrees of background depending on your depth of field (more so it seems that a regular camera) so I'll be doing a lot of playing around.
Thanks for looking:S3:
