New (old) lens

I bought myself an old film camera lens on eBay the other day - for a whole £11.50!  The adaptor (£16) I ordered on Amazon turned up yesterday, and I was really excited to try them out today.  Had good fun before work and at lunchtime, wandering around the Barbican to find things to photograph.  The manual focus is a bit hit and miss (or rather, my control of the manual focus is a bit hit and miss), but I managed to nail a few shots, and I really enjoyed how it made me look at everything differently.  I was mostly shooting wide open (f2.8), to try and get some lovely bokeh. Think this is the bokeh-est shot I took!

This could be the start of a vintage lens collection....
