The view through older Glass

A 1933 Mountain Elmar (105mm f/6.3) in a home made focus mount on a Sony A7 MkII. Shot at somewhere between f/12.5 and f/18 slightly against the light (an old black plastic Kodak film canister with the bottom cut off makes a good hood). I'm astounded at the image quality from this 85 year old lens - full shot followed by detail so viewers can judge for themselves.

one again Leica SL Voigtländer Apo Lanthar 125mm (M42) at its main work.... Macro (no Crop)

attachicon.gif20180507-L1000208.jpg

I really wished Voigtländer would give us a renewal of that lens.

 

It was sold for like $400 back then, but only for a very short period of time.

 

Its prices on the used market are like $2000 now.

 

Really, Voigtländer wouldnt have any issue selling this now for $800, $1000 or even $1200 - at probably a good profit.

 

Not really sure why they dont bother.

M240 with my first picture using a 1956 Schneider-Kreuznach 50mm F2.8 shot at F2.8

 

Gorgeous painterly image. Which S-K lens is it exactly? M42 mount I guess?

I have a S-K Xenogon 35/2.8 in LTM somewhere. Your picture is a reminder to use it more often.

Hi Ecar,

 

A Xenar off a Braun Paxette, 39mm thread. It needed a 15.2mm extension to get it to focus at infinity.

 

This  shot had another +7mm ring on it to bring it in a little closer.

Summicron 50 DR circa 1965 with my newly aqcuired SPDOO eyes. I've had this lens for 2 years without the close focus eyes, I'm happy to have recently found a good copy, and pleased with the results of my test roll. This is the minimum focus distance, shot on expired Fujicolor 200 & M6.
