Toot

Midnight post because the Minolta adapter arrived today. No weather (or light) for a photo walk though, so I did some experiments at my desk instead. Here's the XE-5 posing all pretty-like, sporting a 28/3.5 lens.

The camera of course doesn't apply any CA or other corrections, but it doesn't really seem to be that much of a problem. Did some quick side-by-side comparisons of the Canon 32/1.4 and a Minolta 35/2.8, and the Minolta is noticeably softer (no surprise). That's ~character~, I guess. The old glass still seems to perform well despite its age, and I'll definitely need to try this vintage-digital combination out in the wild for some actual results.
