APO Telyt 180mm f3.4 (V1) is still worth using even in concert photography ;)

I liked the 2.8 Xenon more than the 2.0 and used it a lot, years ago when my Retina was alive. Good to see such gems still in use.

My lens is rather unique. The tiny lens was originally part of a Retina camera,. It started out with a $155 buy of the lens with some serious hacking done to it, followed by a second Xenon to replace some parts. Brian did this work for me. It is the fruit of his labor. It is a mix of pre-war optics with post-war optics.

Mt. Rainier, Leica IIIC, F2 Summitar with Leitz Polarizer, circa 1953

Kodachrome (ASA 10), slide is mounted between Leica glass which is cracked, I wonder if it is still under warranty?

No, but I bet this group could have a lengthy debate about the merits of replacing it with modern, coated glass vs. removing the glass completely! ;-)

Summer is good for garden testing...

This shows interesting optical differences between two rather unusual Japanese lenses from the late 50's - early 60's.

Both wide open on M10 (handheld) at MFD or thereabouts.

 

First is a 1959 Tanar 50/1.9 - a Sonnar design. Notice the "bokeh balls".

Second is a 1961 Topcor 50/1.8 - a double-Gauss design. Slightly higher resolution and "cat's eye" OOF.
