After using a 30mm Pentacon lens from the 1960's to create some Infrared images a couple of weeks ago I had the crazy idea to try and take wildlife images with a lens of similar vintage. This sounded like a good idea at the time! Find out how I got on in part one where I make life easy for the lens by shooting garden birds just to see if the optics are up to it before some more strenuous tests in further videos.

Sony A6400 and Tamron 150-600 G2 Focus Fail Fixed!
In this weeks video I finally solve the focusing issue I had with my Sony A6400 paired to a canon mount Tamron 150-600 G2. I had my suspicions that the Sigma MC-11 adaptor may be to blame and with this in mind I tried the combination out with a Metabones Mk IV adaptor. In this video I explain how I have found this setup works and any issues I have noticed with it. I also show you some of the images I have produced with this setup over a very limited time. I am very happy with the combination so far and can recommend it as a good lightweight wildlife setup.
