I really like to look at photos of great photographic equipment, so here's my contribution. A great lens!
I have recently sold it though, to afford the DA* 50-135.
With the exception of the 18-55mm SAM Sony lens the rest of the gear is full frame capable and consists of a 2x tele-converter made by Vivitar - a 70-210mm Minolta zoom - a 28-80mm Minolta zoom and a Auto Rikenon prime lens of 55mm f2.8.
They can in fact all be multiplied by the formula 1.5 giving longer focal range by a half again.
So... I finally got my new DSLR. I went with a Canon Rebel T3. I'm reallly happy :). I know they say shooting film is great but it sure feels good to look down and see my picture on the screen! So here's one of my first shots with my new camera. Hopefully many more to come!

With no particular plan for the day, on the tenth of June last year I took fairly random photographs whenever something caught my eye. At day's end I selected one of those for my daily project's image.
A year ago we were preparing for the next week's vacation, and one of the prep activities was cleaning my camera lenses. Thus the photo above on this page, of the lamp that's part of our kitchen's fan reflected by my Oly 40-150 mm lens. Kinda neat, no? I've done this before.
Later in the day we sat with Joan's mom. I really like the photo I took through that kitchen's window; it became the daily project's posting.

Other photos taken on 6/10/2021: I took three test shots with another camera while I was cleaning the lenses.

A new addition to the Nikon F2. Went into my local camera store for a lenscap and a roll of seamless paper and walked out with this very nice example of Nikon's classic 105mm lens.
The wrong 58mm cap for the Technikar me thinks, but I nice cap nonetheless.
Expensive and rare lens caps even have their own serial numbers. What a privilege to be a Schneider-Kreuznach lenscap!
Serial number: 223/27 60ø
Perhaps this is a clue as to which lens this lens cap does belong? I don't think it's the official lens cap of the Linhof Technikar.
My friend once more approached me to do some product shots for her. This time it's for the JJC Auto lens cap for the LX5. I get to keep the cap in return. :)
Gelatin-silver photograph on Ultrafine Silver Eagle VC FB photographic paper, image size 24.6cm X 19.6cm, from a 8x10 Fomapan 100 negative exposed in a Tachihara 810HD triple extension field view camera fitted with a 610mm f9 Apo-Nikkor lens.
Titled, signed, and stamped verso.
The 5 second exposure was executed by removing and replacing the lenscap. Lens aperture was f128 but the small amount of image diffraction is invisible in a 8x10 contact photograph.
When you start assembling (because you're not "collecting" of course) vintage lenses there's a point when you have to think about how to keep them protected. I assume it's a bit easier if you're hoarding M42 lenses, but with enlarging and more experimental lenses you have a plethora of different diameters on the mounts as well as the filter threads and a lot of them don't abide by the most common norms, but vary greatly...
I was optimistic (i.e. stupid) enough to think that it wouldn't be too difficult to find a fitting lens cap for each lens... Let me tell you: IT'S NOT EASY! So while I won't take every lens cap off of my lenses to make a friendly group shot (that probably no one wants to see anyways) I thought I'd make a smaller group shot of mostly spare lens caps, just as a warning: "It's not worth it!"
Shot with a Wollensak "Enlarging Pro Raptar 3 1/2 in F 4.5" lens on a Canon EOS R5.
These lens caps have been sitting around collecting dust in a bureau draw for a couple of years. I decided to put them to work!

I got to try out a Carl Zeiss lens today, whilst looking for a new lens, It was only the 12mm Touit, but this single photo is possibly the sharpest photo I've taken.
My original lens cap (left) was lost for months, I never lose photography equipment, so I knew that I would find it one day, I just didn't think it would have been in my bathroom! I had to get a replacement cap in the meantime (right), thanks for the hard work. Only Photographers understand the pain of losing a lens cap.
The lens cap for my 80mm ƒ 2.8 lens set (seen on the camera, two pictures prior in my photostream...) for the Mamiya C3. Taken in Albany, CA by a Nikon D610 at ISO 450 with a Micro-Nikkor 55mm ƒ 3.5 AI lens.
i think this is the pick for my favorite "pinhole day" shot. Taken with my Rebel and Loreo's Lens in a Cap .
I replaced the cool Canon Ultrasonic lens cap with a Sensei center-pinch lens cap. Also, I attached a B+W UV filter, which brings the lens cap a little farther forward. This makes it easier to pinch from the sides, but it is still easiest to pinch from the center.
My friend once more approached me to do some product shots for her. This time it's for the JJC Auto lens cap for the LX5. I get to keep the cap in return. :)
There are parts of Amsterdam that looks like you are in Venice. This scene of Amsterdam gives you a view behind the houses of the Red Light District. On the left you can see some of the red light coming out of the windows, reflecting on the house on the other side.

fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jardin_du_Luxembourg
Le jardin du Luxembourg est un jardin privé ouvert au public, situé dans le VIe arrondissement de Paris. Créé en 1612 à la demande de Marie de Médicis, il a fait l'objet d'une restauration dirigée par l'architecte Jean-François-Thérèse Chalgrin sous le Premier Empire. Il s'étend sur 23 hectares animés de parterres de fleurs et de sculptures.
Sculptures dans les jardins :
- autour de la terrasse centrale, des statues de Reines de France et Femmes illustres, à commencer par Clotilde, lesquelles ont été choisie par Louis Philippe.
statues représentent des figures de la mythologie grecque.
- statues d'animaux.
- statues de personnages illustres tels que Beethoven, Flaubert, Baudelaire, Mendès-France, Frédéric Chopin,
Mathilde de Flandre, épouse de Guillaume le Conquérant.
Le jardin accueille des activités sportives : tennis, basket-ball, arts martiaux, ainsi que les phases finales du Championnat de France de jeu de paume, qui ont lieu le premier dimanche de septembre. Le terrain du Jeu de Paume du Sénat a accueilli les épreuves des Jeux olympiques d'été de 1900. Dans le coin nord-ouest, près de l'Orangerie, des joueurs d'échecs se rencontrent régulièrement, même en plein hiver, alors que ceux de bridge (trois tables) attendent les beaux jours pour pointer leur nez en milieu d'après-midi.
Des activités sont également proposées aux enfants : parc à jeux, promenades à dos de poney sur l'allée des ânes et théâtre de marionnettes. Jeunes et moins jeunes se retrouvent autour du bassin principal pour y faire évoluer des modèles réduits de bateaux télécommandés ou à voile.
