I found a 42mm to Minolta bayonet adapter lying around, so I used the 58mm Helios lens from a Zenit B for this close up. The adaptor acts as a short extension tube, so infinity focus is impossible, but it's ideal for macro photography.
In 2010 I decided to start taking photos with my collection of film cameras, using a different one each week. After 10 years, and 522 cameras, I brought the project to a close. I have been writing a regular column about it in the UK magazine "Amateur Photographer" since 2011.
Great image Tony.
