Raindrops

Here are some shots taken back in August with my (then) new Samsung GX-1L.

Lens used was my old Chinon 50/1.7 that I stole (I mean won on eBay) for the grand sum of a £1 ukp.

Very well captured. The rain adds to the overall sculpture.

Very nicely done. I have not heard the name Chinon in years. I thought they were on the less costly side but those pics look nice and sharp.

A Japanese camera company that got gobbled up by Kodak 3 years ago. They made 3rd party lenses for Pentax way back when.

Trawler, I think you've got a rare lens there with that 50/1.7. Great pic, by the way.
