Taken with a RainbowImaging 35MM F1.7 TV Lens + Lens Adapter for Sony NEX (cost about $28). This lens was designed for a much smaller CCTV sensor and so vignettes quite a bit. Also only the very center of the lens is in focus and it doesn’t really get any better as you stop down. Smaller apertures merely cause the central, sharp(ish) area to get a bit sharper. Because of pronounced field curvature the rest remain soft. Still the out of focus areas are nice and the lens has a kind of “creamy” look to it. It’s very small and extremely inexpensive and I’m glad I bought it. I haven’t used it for a while, but it’s a fun lens so maybe I’ll give it another try.
