Annika's stripes (Patreon)

I shot with Annika Carlsen a few years ago and ended up doing “stripes.”

The second image is shot with a Sony 24-70 ƒ2.8.

But the first is shot with a Lomo Petzval 85mm ƒ2.8. The Lomo has a canon bayonet, so I use it with a Mirex shift/tilt adapter on my Sony camera, which allows me to play with focal planes and get something interesting like this.

No blurring was done in post-production; only contrast adjustments were made here.

Do you have any experience with vintage (or funny) lenses?

And if not, why not?
