He (my brother in law) was the one who got me into manual lenses.
After seeing some of his outstanding shots using these oldies I decided to give it a try, despite not having any previous experience with manual focus or any type of analog photographic gear.
It was love at first sight, I never looked back and today I mainly shoot with old manual M42 lenses.
Sometimes it's a pain in the butt but it is totally worth it!
