now this really is the view through older glass:

 

Ross London 'Zeiss Convertible Anastigmat' c.1895- 9/5" 'Double Protar' f6.3~64 type lens 2 x 16.5" Zeiss lenses.

 

Bought to the modern world via the leica M240 with old soligor bellows, m42 tubes and duct tape... looks to me like they had sharp enough lenses 120 years ago...

Jaques,

 

This is a really impressive demonstration and shows that older glass and designs were extremely capable so thanks for posting these examples.  And no, I'm not sick of Bertie. :)

Thanks Pete,

 

all these shots were handheld as well- and the lens wasn't perfectly aligned to the body.

 

It's interesting to think that back in the day- the users of this lens would have have never seen colour images (except on their ground glass). Also it is interesting that this lens could probably cover 4x5 inches (or more 8x10?) with this kind of detail. Imagine the files from a digital sensor that big?

 

here is the lens in question:

i have all this work I have been avoiding

 

  so I better test old lenses-

 

I just got t try out an old classic: Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm with a Zeiss Exakta Stereflex beam splitter on m240. If you go cross eyed- until a third image appears in the center- and move back and forward from the screen- a quite good stereo affect occurs (and a headache is also possible). Next step is to make some anaglyph images...
