Super-Lentar test shots

Morning Folks,
I recently picked up a 28mm 2.8 Super-Lentar (Minolta mount) lens for $5 at an antique store. With the assistance of the Weiser sextuplets :roflI removed the original mount and replaced it with an extra eos mount that I had in my camera bag. I took a few test shots this morning, and while I need to 'fine tune' the lens to infinity, the pics did not look that bad. The first two shots were taken at F8, while the dog shot was taken at 2.8. It's hard to judge manual focus without a confirmation chip, but still fun none the less. Thanks for looking :thumb
Have a good day :D
Jim...

    Morning Eric,
    Thanks for the comments thumb.gif I usually buy a Weiser 30 pack for $20 in Md, and bring a few out when I need some advice or take on a challenge. The Weiser sextuplets assisted me when I modified my 10-22 ef-s lens to work on my 5D and 5D2 a couple of years ago. As for Ginger, she was ready to go inside for some breakfast, but first had to earn her keep. She wasn't to happy about the 'mini' photo shoot rolleyes1.gif Thanks again thumb.gif
    Have a good day :D

    Good Afternoon Folks,
    The lens will focus to infinity, however infinity is around 5' on the distance scale. The following shot was taken at f8, then cropped. The Suzi Sudz sign was about 100' from me, while the Junction 194 sign was over 200'. All in all, not a bad $5 purchase. Thanks for looking thumb.gif
    Enjoy your afternoon :D
