I got an adapter to use a Schneider Xenar large format lens [I think it is] on a Nikon F2. The focus distance is fixed for a portrait. I can slightly adjust the focus by rotating one of the adapter rings, but it is easier to move back and forth.

I love experimenting with lenses, and using this old Xenar is fun. It is also a surprisingly good lens.

Correction: Here, I used a Nikkor 24mm 2.8 on the F2.

I also tried photos at the beach.

I like the overall rendition in all photos.
