Shots on an assortment of soviet glass (CANON EOS 550D)

Got this 550D for 40 euro, no battery no charger nothing. Bought everything else, so the total came out to ~70-80 euro for a fully functional camera with a 20k shutter count. Might be a deprecated choice in 2026, but I found it to be perfect for my usecase.

I had a lot of old zenits from my grandpa who was also a hobbyist. Unfortunately noone develops film where I live so they spent two more years at my shelf collecting dust. A friend pushed me to get into photography so they can get some use since it would be a waste to have them sitting.

The photos were taken using mostly the pentacon 2.8/29 for landscapes, the Jupiter 21m 4/200 for the animals and the Helios 44-2 for the few portraits there are.

I am open to feedback ! Manual focus is tricky for sure but it's also very satisfying, I can see it getting annoying in depth of time, but this was my first outing with a dslr and it was very fun doing some nat geo larping.

I hope the photos post, my posts keep getting "media processing failed" errors lately, i apologise in advance to the mods, please delete the thread if it happens 😔.

How do I set an album to show in the main tab of the gallery? [C65]

Basically title, I had set up lightroom to show in the main tab (the top two photos are from LR, the others from the camera),and I wanted to make another album to show too, but now I can't find the option. Even in the lightroom album, in the three dots menu nothing shows up concerning this.

Have they removed this functionality or is it hidden somewhere?
