I've said it before, but my neighbours must think I'm really weird. One of them was having a smoke in the drive as I casually loaded my car with various strange contraptions crudely constructed from odd bits of wood, random junk and sticky tape. I just smiled, said "good evening" and tried to act normal...
Digital light wand, cathodes, wool and new prototype DIY spinning tripod thing. Straight off the memory card.
the ms optical perar super triplet ii 35/3.5… i've been waiting on this lens for a pretty long time now… limited production, handmade in japan, the obvious manufacturing delays associated with being in japan right now… i've been waiting patiently, and am happy to have this guy in my possession!
i'll be running a roll of tx through the cl asap to check out the lens. until then, i can briefly discuss the physical aspects of it…
why did i pay so dearly for, and then wait so patiently for a three element lens? look at the photo, it's tiny! collapsed (shown), it's really no thicker than a body cap. it's also my favorite focal length for 135 format: 35mm. it's rf coupled, and it's m- and not thread-mount.
adjusting anything on it is a bit tricky, and photography will need to be somewhat slow and deliberate. everything sort of rotates together, and the frontmost bit is the aperture control, so, for instance, putting the (threaded) lenscap on is bound to change the aperture, and possibly the focus. changing the (ten blade) aperture intentionally is also bound to mess with focus, unless you're holding the focus lever in place with your other hand. collapsing/uncollapsing also involves rotation. my point is that presetting anything is basically impossible, and you want to set aperture before focus. oh, the aperture has no click-stops, so you need to visually examine or get really used to the feel of rotating to everything other than f/3.5 and f/16.
there is a dot on the dof scale, and a dot on the aperture ring. the dots are between f/8 and f/16. so, i assume this is an ideal hyperfocal indicator of sorts — according to the scale, everything from ∞ to 2m will be in focus.
if you can get past the above issues, the lens feels really great. it mounts with confidence, and the focus and aperture adjust smoothly. focus throw is really short, i would guess around 40º.
it feels awesome on the minolta cl. a tiny, slightly wide lens on a tiny rangefinder? perfection. it makes the camera comparable to some of the smaller classic fixed-lens rfs, while still retaining the ability to pop a different lens on. frameline is for 40 rather than 35, but that's absolutely acceptable to me. oh, the lens collapses just fine into the cl body as well, without the silly meter arm getting in the way.
all in all, this is a really cool lens. i'm really looking forward to running this first roll off with it…
edit: i should mention that dirk from japan exposures was very communicative throughout all the delays. i never feared that my order was forgotten or anything. pleasure to give them my business.
SMC Pentax-A f3.5 35-105mm vintage zoom lens. Zoomed to 50mm focal length and 'Macro' focussing facility used.
Posting this photo today just because. Pictured in this shot is my desk at work, which is old and gone now. I now have my own cubicle, which I insisted remain near the window! A window won't save me forever but mark my words it'll extend my stay.
Lens cap featured here is of the Nikon Coolpix P500. When I first got the camera, the day I took this shot, I came back to my office and started screwing around with it, getting ready for my big trip. I took this photo, and even though I didn't feel like posting it back then, I do today.
I tell you what, that Nikon CoolPix P500 was a kick ass investment. No regrets here what-so-ever. That camera has been everything I wanted it to be and more. I get reverse-angry at those photography snobs, you know the ones who hate everything digital. Stop hating, the world changed, and so did cameras. While you haters out there will be busy sticking to the old ways, I'll be using my amazing zoom and getting those shots you wish your camera could.
TheJudge310 fully embraces the Nikon CoolPix P500 if you couldn't tell!

Another rare visitor from the first days of Yashima (later Yashica). A stamped or pressed metal lens cap for the Yashima Flex twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera from 1953. This is the first item that bore the name Yashima.

Thanks, Chris and Carol
A beautiful Musk Oc photographed in Arctic Norway. As I was taking this photo, this grumpy beast charged me. Luckily I was protected by a fence as this image, unfortunately, was not taken in the wild, but in Polar Park.

Our Daily Challenge: "Things that are Easily Lost" --I don't know about you, but I am forever misplacing my lens cap. I make it a point to always have a couple extra on hand just in case.
Thank you so much for your views, comments and favs. I really do appreciate every one!

I haven't posted a fully defocused shot for a while. Let's see if people can tell what it is and why I did it. The clue is in the tags :-)
After spending over an hour walking up and down the rocky coastline, I finally found a composition. The light was lovely, just as the sun was setting. I did get a little wet taking this image, but it was worth it. I would love to return and climb up in to the Cuillins. A stunning mountain range.

Bought recently for $40, complete with case, cap, filter, and original strap. This is my second 35SP, as the first one I bought has a focus issue and the meter doesn't work. This is a wonderful camera and may have the best lens of the many cameras and lenses I own. My favorite rangefinder.
Strap shown is The Slider©
The Slider© is available on my Etsy page. Some, like this one, are upcycled from old belts. Others, I make from leather. Dyed, burnished, and sealed.

It is addictive to climb up there and take pictures. Climbing while sailing is much easier but it's shaking more and to be honest I don't feel too save while I'm up. And than there's the fiddling with the camera and the lenscap and hold onto the shrouds and look around and worry abut the sun and err, well, at least it's not boring. All pictures clickable.

Ich denke, man kann süchtig danach werden, Bilder aus den Wanten heraus zu machen. Das Hochklettern während des Segelns ist deutlich leichter, aber es wackelt natürlich und man macht sich dann ja doch so seine Gedanken. Und dann muss man noch mit der Kamera rum sortieren und den Objektivdeckel irgendwie verstauen und kucken wo man hinsegelt und wo die Sonne steht und mit der dritten Hand hält man sich an den Seilen fest und hofft, dass keine plötzliche Kursänderung kommt.... Trotzdem macht's irgendwie Spaß :o) Alle Bilder sind wieder anklickbar.
After a disappointing Bluebell shoot, I was surprised to see that Rapeseed had been planted this year, which was the perfect accompaniment to the gorgeous sunset.

If you have trouble remebering where you put the Lenscap. Always put a praline or candy on it and you will always find the lenscap
Check the EXIF data ;)
I just got my first DSLR. And I couldn't think of any better way to christen my new camera than to take the first picture with the lens cap on. This is as minimal as it gets. :)
And I just want to take this short space to thank all of my contacts who have supported me so much and contributed to my development along the way. I wouldn't be here, with this camera, if it weren't for all of you. Your support, encouragement, helpful advice, and inspiration has been incredible. I don't know how to express my thanks enough. You are all amazing. Thank you.
By the way, please remove your name if you don't want to be tagged in a black square. I just wanted to let you all know my thanks :)
Oh, and I HIGHLY recommend you View On Black. Soooo much better. It really helps bring out the fine details.
5 bilder fra Glomma 19. februar 2022. Jeg har her brukt et gammelt Olympus Pen E-P2 fra 2009. Objektivet er et såkalt lenscap objektiv på 15 mm. (kombinert linsebeskyttelse og objektiv) med fast blender på 8,0. Dette er det absolutt billigste objektivet du kan kjøpe til Olympus kameraer og er kjent for svært dårlig bildekvalitet. Artig å prøve lell 😊
These were taken with a very cheap 32mm f10 "Focus Free" lens I bought with some other stuff from AliExpress. It appears to be a lens from a disposable film camera remounted into a plastic baseplate that's molded into various mounts. Mine is a(rough approximation of) Leica M- mount. This time it was mounted on an M43 Olympus E-PL1, wich only uses the central portion of the lens. Interesting vibe, and handy as a lenscap lens.

or at least for now hahahaha.
I really couldn't choose which one to put up before my 200th photo, which I actually have an idea for!!! So I said, heck it, I'll just give them all for you to view ahahah.
Personally, I really love the second one for the bokeh, third for the color, fourth for the blurriness.
I have no idea why most of it came out bluish-green. Must be something to do with the settings at the time it was taken... But whatever, I am done with film now, unfortunately.
Someone gift me a film camera? :p Oh the horror... I would really love to shoot more film sometime.
Oh yes, I had something else to say... I'M DONE WITH PRESENTATIONS FOR SCHOOL. Like the whole three years. DONE. DONE. DONE. :o Now it's just studying for the exams, starting on a 15 page prose assignment (i have no ideas...) and the Youth Olympic Games (I'm a volunteer)...
After that... I'm pretty much done with poly life. It'll be internship next. I am scared.
Tell me which photo you like? :) Order as follows:
1. 2.
3. 4.
5. 6.
YAY, give me a number! :D
have a great week!!! :D
PS: I was thinking of printing some of my film myself, so in case you want one, just holler okay? :) They can be separated of course! :)
...through a water drop, that is.
A falling water drop in front of my lens cap makes a dandy fish-eye lens. Go ahead, check it out in LARGE size.
