That is a very good example of the difference between the concepts of quiddity (Aquinas) and haecceity (Scotus) in the context of individualisation and creation of meaningfulness of the outerwise ephemeral or mundane entity. I not sure how to interpret that but it don't half sound good. 🤔👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rose! Like in any rose. Haeccietas (thisness): What is it? it is this particular rose with all it´s meaning for you that tells it apart from just being any rose. You ask: what is the meaning of life? If the answer refers to life's quiddity, like in any life, you will not get far since there is no universal answer. It is a different story, when your answer addresses life's haecciety. Your particular life constitutes its meaning! Meaning for you, for others .... the life of others for you ... Was that helpful?

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! Milan, you posted a series of portraits in 2017. This is the first landscape, I see of yours. Do you still use the Thambar a lot, these days or was it an initial love, that faded over time? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ando Posted February 7, 2019 Share #848 Posted February 7, 2019 A long, long time ago, we photographed (above all) portraits with the Rodenstock Imagon lens on a Mamiya RB67. That was a real adventure! Unfortunately, I have no material of it anymore. Does any of you know this lens? Is it similar to the Thambar? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodenstock_Imagon THX Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted February 7, 2019 Share #849 Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) An excellent question. The Rodenstock Imagon is nothing like the Thambar. The Imagon's approach is entirely different. It begins with a bare lens which used wide-open shows profound spherical aberration, no front spot is blocked, then it permits subtle modification of aberration using a few front-mounted modifiers to gently change the aberration of the image's fringe. Each step into the modifiers allows renditions which must be learned through experience. I do not know of an Imagon which can be use with 35mm format.

Arrow Posted February 7, 2019 Share #850 Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) There were several versions for medium format that could be adapted to 35mm Canon and Nikon and also a M39 120 f 4,5 version came up in the 1950ies, I think. As Pico pointed out, the Thambar follows a different concept. Edited February 7, 2019 by Arrow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Pico pointed out, the Thambar follows a different concept. To emphasize, if I may, all Rodenstock Imagons were designed for formats larger than 35mm. The design preferred 4x5", but some poor judgement or uninformed wishful's produced adapters for 6x6cm (Hasselblad) lenses. The Imagon's anticipated effective coverage for its rendering simply did not work for smaller that LF formats. Do not buy those MF adapters.

I still use it from time to time and every time I use it I get a smile on my face, but I should not overuse it or the magic disappears. I will continue to shoot my portrait series in b&w but like I with the series of 2017 I choose my models wisely they must fit the old glamour style. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have a 360mm Imagon, mounted in a huge Compound shutter. This gave great results on 5x7, but, like the Thambar, they are an acquired taste, and, as Milan says, the subject needs to be sympathetic to the look too. As you say, best used on large formats, although they did make a 170mm lens for 6.5 x 9cm size Susie 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
