Surprised it came out as well as it did. Old lens with an adapter all manual and the exposure isn't what the meter reads. All in all it came together well enough. I'd love to hear your thoughts though...

Nice shot-I use older film cameras on every shoot

Sometimes I wish I had lenses that were only 40 years old.  All of mine are much older than that.

i mostly agree. The lighting is nice but I am so focused on her arm it sort of obscures her beauty and strength.
