An old camera, even one that you don’t have any compatible lenses for, is far from useless if you are interested in a new type of photography. Free-lensing just means that you are taking pictures without a lens attached to the camera. The results are soft, artfully blurred photos with a dream- or vintage-like feeling. It’s commonly used for flower photography, but can be applied to anything you want, like shooting weddings. You may have to put quite a bit of practice in, but freelensing is a great way to get creative with blurring, vignettes, and light leaks.
You do need a lens for free-lensing, but it’s not attached to the camera. Instead, the lens is held close enough to the sensor that you can focus through it. If the lens mount is not compatible with the body being used, you’ll need to be familiar enough with ISO, white balance, and exposure for the shooting environment to make those settings without looking through the lens.
To take a free-lens shot, you’ll set the lens to an infinity manual focus. You’ll have to hold the body in one hand and the lens in the other, but you can use a tripod for stability if needed. There is a lot of creative freedom here; move the lens horizontally and you’ll lose focus on the edges of the frame, tilt the lens vertically to move the focus up or down the photo, and move the lens further away to let more light hit the sensor. Practice will make perfect!
