Using the X-Pro1 with the 500mm Minolta Mirror Lens & the 135mm
I bought the 500mm Minolta lens a year or so ago to use on my Micro Four Thirds cameras but have not really used it all that much. Tonight (August 1, 2012) there was a clear sky and a beautiful full moon and despite it being way past my bedtime I took this shot.
Here is the Mystery Shot taken with the Minolta 135mm
I can't explain what you will see in the shot below. :wtf: It was taken with another Minolta legacy lens, the MC Tele Rokkor X PF 135mm. This is very strange. Are those really stars? Of course not.. but I have no idea why this shot (and all other shots with this lens) came out with what appears to be stars in the photo. Very weird.... They appeared when I was adjusting clarity in Lightroom 4. The more clarity, the more "stars" appeared. I know they can't be real stars but what are they? I did not add them.. they just appeared as I pumped up the clarity in Lightroom.
If you know what is causing this.. please let me know. No way those are real stars.
