I also have a Komura Telemore 2x extender that (with the M8) turns the 400 Fern-Kilar into a 1,064 mm/11 lens but the Telemore is poor and none of the pictures were worth keeping.

Ecar Posted June 27, 2024 Share #13492 Posted June 27, 2024 (edited) A few random, but hopefully illustrative, garden pictures from a US military 2 inch f/2 lens, likely aimed at aerial or enlarging applications, with aperture markings pointing away from the barrel. Not to be confused with the 50mm f/2 in M mount for the Leica KE-7A camera. Both lenses are Mandler designs, but entirely different ones. Interestingly, while the 50mm is an optically simplified (for ruggedness) 4e/4g formula, this 2” appears to be a more sophisticated 7e/5g, resembling that of another Mandler design, the pre-ASPH Summilux 35/1.4.

Lex Yes, this one is indeed quite extreme... dense foliage is a torture test for all lenses – especially if backlit, but this is not even the case here: M11M + converted 192X Dallmeyer (Kinematograph) 2"/1.5, wide open Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Also, f/1.5 is a massive overstretch for a Petzval formula. I don’t mind (actually enjoy it...) the extra work required to achieve ‘acceptable’ (YMMV) results. The lens is better behaved when you stop down, although the edges stubbornly refuse to sharpen up: Same camera and lens as above, around f/4 On a historical note, the Petzval Portrait is often considered the first photographic lens, soon followed by improved designs, such as JH Dallmeyer’s Rapid Rectilinear (possibly the formula used for this particular lens). The early photography days of the venerable Voigtländer company can be traced back to a patent dispute involving Messrs. Voigtländer and Petzval themselves. More recently, Lomography (kick)started their line of lenses with a couple of Petzvals – sexy brass, waterhouse stops, lo-fi rendering and easy/cheap to manufacture: Again, same camera and lens, wide open @ MFD Edited June 29, 2024 by Ecar 9 4 Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
