Welcome to my second comparison of lenses with a focal length of 35 mm. This time all contenders are more than 50 years old and are equipped with the M42 screw-mount. There are two famous lenses amoung it (Flektogon 2.4/35 and Super-Takumar 3.5/35), two insider tips (Color-Skoparex 2.8/35 and Travegon R 3.5/35) and perhaps a stunner.
Results for the center:
Results for the corner:
Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon MC 2.4/35
Perhaps a Flektogon was the first wide angle lens for SLRs with a retrofocus design, the other suspicious is the Angénieux R1. The first attempt was to put a divergent lens element in front of a well known lens, in that case a Biometar, to obtain a 2.8/35 with a (7/5)-design. In the early seventies the Flektogon was completely redesigned, this time based on a triplet. The new version was cheaper to produce, better and faster, was the first multi-coated lens by CZJ, and it has 6 elements in 6 groups. The lens here has an impressive nearest focus distance of 0.2 m.
Voigländer Color-Skoparex 2.8/35
Made by Rollei in Singapore, belongs to the Voigtländer VSL1 and offers open-aperture-metering with it. It is a (5/5) design by Zeiss and was also available as Distagon with QBM-mount for the Rolleiflex (it is different from the later Distagon for the Contax, which is a (6/6)-design). The Distagon was provided single coated or multi coated (HFT) - I don't know, what the Skoparex is. The lens is from about 1974 and has 6 blades. Another note: the lens has no A/M-switch, but you can close the diaphragm by (carefully!) screw in the tiny set screw next to the aperture pin.
Pentax Auto-Takumar 3.5/35
Clearly the smallest lens of the group. It was produced around 1960. "Auto" means, that the camera automatically closes the aperture via the common pin at the lens mount, but the user has to open it by himself again by pushing the small lever at the f-stop ring, so it is rather "semi-auto". A (5/4)-design with 5 blades.
Pentax Super-Takumar 3.5/35
The same optics like the Auto-Takumar, but in a new outfit: this time with really fully-automatic aperture and with A/M-switch. Usually seen on a Spotmatic.
Enna Lithagon 3.5/35
Certainly the most simple lens in this field. It is based on the 4.5/35 Lithagon, the first retrofocus lens for 35 mm SLRs made in West Germany (1953). The retrofocus effect is achieved by adding a divergent lens element ahead of common lens, so here: the Lithagon has a comparable large front lens element in front of a simple triplet, the result is a (4/4)-design. Also the construction of the lens is simple: full manual aperture setting (even no preset ring) and a rotating front. This combination can by annoying, because you can loose the focus when closing the aperture. 8 blades, the zebra look should be from the late sixties.
A. Schacht Travegon R 3.5/35
Made by a very small manufacturer, but certainly one of the most extravagant lenses of that type which I hold in my hands. The mechanics are extraordinary, the 6 blades sport a ball bearing, the lens has an A/M-switch, a socket for a cable release, and an automatic display for the depth-of-field. The lens was designed by Ludwig Bertele (it's said he designed all lenses of Schacht). As the inventor of the Sonnar Bertele was a master in arranging many lens elements in three groups, so here, the Travegon is a (6/3)-design.
Super Yashinon-R 2.8/35
Perhaps the oldest lens in this field, together with the Auto-Takumar. It was already available for the Yashica Pentaflex around 1960, but then with a bayonet mount. When Yashica switched to the M42 mount with the "J"-series, this lens was carried. It has a preset aperture, 8 blades, a nearest focus distance of 1 m and is a (6/5)-design.
Auto Yashinon DX 2.8/35
The "Auto" indicates an automatic aperture, and there exists also DX-lenses without "Auto" which have a preset aperture then. Contemporary cameras should be the TL and TL Super from the mid-sixties. Those DX lenses were followed by the DS-lenses, rather seen on the TL Elektros. The lens here has an A/M-switch, 6 blades and also an (6/5)-design, and as you can see from the results of this comparison, the design should be very different from the one of the Super Yashinon.
Just showing a comparison between my LAAT/i (?) and LAAT/c.
Yeah, I know, the Carrier looks so clean and sleek compared to the garbled, battle-hardened infantry variant.
While breaking down years of old sets and a few new ones for sorting, i wanted to see how the new Charger set stacked up against my old GARC General Lee.
I've been wanting to do this comparison for a while, and finally had the means to do it! What's the difference between Acros 100 and Acros 100 II? It's subtle, but there is a difference in contrast. Other than that, the two films are almost identical in grain structure and sharpness.

Nearly identical internally but quite different externally, F59PH AMT 1340 and F59PHI AMT 1323 are parked in downtown Montreal towards the end of the morning rush hour at the head end of Candiac-line trains.

So dolls with Pivotal Barbie bodies tend to have massively long legs and tiny tiny torsos but they always end up being taller than any of my other dolls.
Stormer only matches her height due to her big hair but both are still shorter than the Coomodel body so that’s pretty cool I guess lol.
I did end up carving Sweet Tea’s arms so she can finally cross her arms lol.

A professional Ion blaster, compared to the tablescrap mod I made. The added details to the stock SMLE parts really make the prototype one sing. Mine was literally a though I had when I noticed a few extra scoped in the mod parts bin.

A striking comparison. Both vehicles are seven wides and although the M1 Bullpup ACV is bulky looking by itself, it is only a couple of plates higher than the M1151 HMMWV. May I remind you credits for the overall design of the M1 Bullpup ACV go to Andrew Somers and credits for the overall design of the M1151 HMMWV go to Evan Melick. If you notice I made a little switcheroo with the vehicles wheels.
All the people here are beautiful. In my earth reality all the people are also beautiful, but few truly know it, or acknowledge it. We live in denial of our beauty. We look through the eyes of criticism into the mirror of comparison, and in so doing we reduce ourselves. Here, the people glory in beauty – in their beauty, in the beauty of others, in inner beauty, in the beauty of Nature, in all beauty. Beauty here is an expression of their being – living, intangible, ‘beautiful’ beauty! These people are tall, slim, golden-skinned, with vibrant health. Many of them have dark hair, but I see other colours also, in similar variations to ours. Their features are fine, delicate, sculptured, strong, with a definite slant to their quite large and beautiful eyes. Their eyes are considerably bigger than ours, more open and sparkling, more engaging, more clear and frank and honest. There is no guile in these eyes, no shame, or anger, nothing to hide. The very openness of their eyes reflects the openness of their hearts and souls.

Nastya you are so busted!
Most of the photos became over exposed but I don't have time to redo the whole shoot. Repetitive and such but I hope these will help. Also, the girls weren't super happy about this new posy friend. LOL.

at dawn (around 5.30-6.00am) the low tide made it possible for us to get to this spot. however by 7.00-7.30am the rising tides were huge u dont want to mess with it. the risk is doubled with additional risks of slippery rocks and sharp corals on the foreground. so have to work fast and get out of there while u can!
Quite interesting. Even the counter has a similar shape. However, the stove section is much better on the set. On the other hand I like my juke box better. Plus there is a napkin dispenser. And yes, I've taken the fridge from a set, so ...

Sorry for some headless bodies and weird postures.
I was lazy and wanted to do it quick to rush back to continue my PS3 games XD

5. Volks SD16 Girl (old type) + SD13 Shizu head
What's so funny is when I lay M-line body and SD16 body down next to each other, the SD16 body looks slightly taller (about 1/2cm) than M-line body.
But they are at exact same height when standing.
Can't figure out why but it's no big deal.
For everyone who always wanted to know the differences in heights.

It's probably hard to see in this small photo but there's a beautiful crescent moon right in the middle of that center archway.
My original intent was to get a quick blue hour panorama here then go to Treasure Island and shoot the moonset over the Golden Gate south tower. But it was a hazy, slightly foggy day around the bridge. So, knowing the moon would align here even if it was going to be really small in comparison to the buildings, I stuck around and tried this instead. This is a 91megapixel panorama so I can blow it up to six feet wide to make that moon a little more visible.
