Optical issues in the sun · **3 Likes**

Still trying out my old glass. What happens when you take a picture against the sunlight (but with a sunshade on) fully open? Well this

PS. EXIF is not correct: the lens was not a 120mm but SMC Pentax 55mm F1.8

Thanks Todd! After the overwhelming and pleasant 'simplicity' of the LX - shooting slides till it was not possible anymore - I am still struggling with digital because of the vast possibilities to influence the image directly or in post. Sometimes things just happen :-)
