This is a self-portrait with my ridiculous lens lattached to my Minolta XG-M, from nearly 10 years ago. 9 March 2010. Next to a bookshelf. Santa Cruz, CA. It occurred to me this weekend that I could shoot roller derby at the Civic with my ridiculous lens. I think I might have a Minolta MD to Leica M adapter somewhere in my lens closet, which is only one adapter away from a M to SL adapter. I thought back to the days when I used to shoot Fujicolor Superia, but the synch speed on the old XG-M is only 1/60! Then I let out a little Vlad LOL laugh. The synch speed on the SL is 1/250th! That. Is. Totally. Ridiculous. #self #selfportrait #MinoltaXG-M #HartbleiTiltAdapter #ridiculous #ridiculouslens #bent #leicaM8 (at Santa Cruz, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzpJ6NNnRsE/?igshid=1tw7uluehuevk
