The problem is that this place, like the vast majority of other public places in France does not allow the use of tripods, for safety reasons. How is HDR doable without a tripod?
Thanks for the positive comments. They are much appreciated, coming from a man like you who knows how to get the most out of these great halls.
I use a shiny (not the supercheap black one but neither the luxury ones that come at silly prices) M42 to EOS adapter from Ebay, it focuses to infinity. I also have ZF lenses with ZF to EOS adapter and they focus to infinity. ZSs have a little lever to open and close the iris with a flick, which can be handy for focussing if you have no focus shift issues. The Planar 1,4/50 has them so the lever is not too useful.
It has more fancy options than the Brabus version :)
