Adapting Vintage Glass for Street Photography

Today we are adapting a 1980's Minolta 50 f1.4 to a Sony A7IV using the LA-EA5 adapter and having some fun with street photography in Osaka, Japan!

If you're interested in downloading tons of RAWs from my vids, check out my new Patreon! Loads of them are up now from my previous photo walks with Xperias and Alpha bodies as well. More to come in the future, and it's a great way to help support me! Thanks as always for watching and have a great week.

Great pictures!! That looked like a neat area!

Minolta colours rock. I do shoot vintage glass and find mild soft focus appealing.

Such a beautiful area and so lively at night. Wow! great photos!

How are you finding the AF compared to native glass? I hear folks say that it's only useful for static subjects, but other's say it's totally usable in portraits with moving subjects.

[@ShibiChan]

It's definitely not on par to native glass, but I do find for portraiture it's usually fine even with movement. I wouldn't feel confident for things like sports, but just casual portraits with the subject moving around naturally I find it does quite well! I should do some more videos around these A-mount lenses, because I do genuinely enjoy shooting with them. So much character for super cheap. Thanks for watching!

What do you use (wear) on your body to hold your smartphone or GoPro camera for recording the video while you are taking photos using both hands freely?

[@ShibiChan]

It's the first party GoPro chest mount!
