This is the second year that Fort Wayne guitar hero Kenny Taylor has celebrated Chuck Berry’s birthday by performing “The Great Twenty-Eight” (in order, in the original keys!) at the Latch String Inn. Kenny was joined by Patrick Borton on bass, Mitch Frazier on guitar, Jamie Simon on drums and Paul Stewart on keys, and they sounded great! I missed last year’s event, but this year I was there with the 5dMkII and a vintage Pentax Super-Takumar 50mm/1.4 M42 screw mount lens (c.1965-1971 — perfect for this show!). It’s manual focus (and aperture) all the way of course, but the focus ring feels so much more substantial than modern auto-focus lenses. This in combination with the EG-S matte focusing screen made the camera operate almost like an old Spotmatic. These images were shot at or around ISO 5000 and processed in Adobe Lightroom:
