Oldies but goodies

I often think of my older lenses as photographic time machines, marvelling that those who designed and assembled them could never have imagined their rebirthing in a digital world. Here are two of my older ones, a 1952 CZJ Biotar (from which the Helios 44 range was derived) and the classic Trioplan 100 from Meyer-Optik Görlitz (1960-65). Photographed with an E. Ludwig Meritar 50/2.9 (1949-68 with Exakta mount), but with a 2014 Raynox close-up attachment.
