    EPL1 with Minolta MC Rokkor-X 50mm/1.4

    Picked up a cheap Minolta 50/1.4 Rokkor-X PG (circa 1973 I believe) recently. Adapter finally arrived today for the EPL1.
    Townsville + midday + october = very harsh light, but couldn't resist racing out at lunchtime & having a play at a nearby cemetery.

    First lesson learned- you can't shoot at f1.4 in the midday sun - max shutter speed on the EPL1 is 1/2000. Damn annoying..! But I guess it will be rare I'll be shooting landscapes at midday with this lens at f1.4 .
    Hence the highlights in the first one are a little uncontrolled

    A couple of samples. Will get some nicer shots in better light this weekend hopefully

    No straightening or sharpening (although it looks on screen like the software may have dialed in some sharperning when resizing- haven't used it much for photo editing) - only pp is minor contrast & levels in Paint.net (all I have handy here at present)
