My eyes aren’t getting any younger, and I am starting to use auto focus lenses more frequently. This morning I was out with my new Ziltrox 20mm f/2.8 FE lens. Pretty good bang for the buck, I’d say!

More “Cookie Lens” Images
I was at Allan Gardens in Toronto yesterday morning with fellow photographers, and I brought along my “cookie” lens to use on my Sony a6100 body for exterior images. Such a fun lens to use!
The “Oreo Cookie” Lens
I finally broke down and bought what people are calling the “Oreo Cookie” lens. (So-called because the front of the lens is designed to look like and Oreo cookie.) The lens is fixed focus, all plastic, very inexpensive, and supposedly is reclaimed from disposable single-use cameras. So we are talking very primitive. But that is what makes it fun! I tried it out yesterday for the first time at a outdoor craft fair in the Beaches here in Toronto on my Sony a7ii.
Hazel McCallion Central Library
This building in Mississauga, Ontario has fascinating architecture! Very fisheye lens-friendly!
All images taken with a Sony a6100 body and Bower 7.5mm fisheye lens (mounted via adapter).
Living Arts Centre
Yesterday morning I was at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. Great architecture, and and great light coming in! Images created with Sony a6100 body and 27mm lesn as well as a 7.5 mm fisheye lens.
Williamson Park Ravine
Yesterday morning I was out with friends in the WIlliamson Park Ravine in the eastern part of Toronto. The tree canopy is quite dense here, but sunlight will poke through the shadows creating an almost spotlight effect. All images taken with my Sony a7ii body and an old Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens.
Back to Bon Echo
More images from my recent Bon Echo trip, but this time using the Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 Superwide Heliar lens.
St. Lawrence Market on a Quiet Day
The new north building at the St. Lawrence Market is crammed and busy on the weekends. But in the middle of the week it is quiet.
Bon Echo Park With a Petzval Lens
One of the lenses I took to Bon Echo Park here in Ontario last weekend was my Lomography 55mm f/1.7 Mark II Petzval.
I had a kind of image in mind, and the distortions inherent in the Petzval lens, plus added deep vignette gave me what I was looking for.
A Church In the Beaches
Last weekend was “Doors Open” in Toronto. Many buildings opened their doors to visitors, and I one of the places I checked out was Beach United in the Beaches. I was using my Sony A7ii and 15mm Voiglander super wide angle lens.
