What's more appropriate than using the retro-styled Fuji X-E2 to take some still life images of actual retro film cameras. The off-axis focus in some of the shots was caused by moving the
tilt-shift adapter opposite to the normal plane of focus. The shallow depth of field is a result of using a Nikon 50mm f/1.4 lens wide open. To come in close I used an old Nikon 3T close-up lens mounted on the 50mm. The images were processed later for a platinum effect.
