This is why I prefer to shoot the details on a car instead of the whole car. I get shots like this.
Dynamic xenon headlights on a BMW.
This is why I don't usually shoot the whole car, preferring to focus in on the details. The lines, the curves and especially the lights.
I'm not a big BMW fan, but they do make some cool lights.
I have a broken Domiplan that is somehow missing first element. From time to time I attach random pieces of glass to see effects. This time it is a front group from Xenon 50mm f2 lens. Result is soft but I found it attractive enough to share.
S.K. Xenon 50mm f1.8 from Rollei cameras. It was supposed to be a cheaper option to Zeiss Planar but mechanical quality and IQ are exceptional IMHO.
Continuing my ICM (camera movement) experiments. It's not yet perfect and my arm is about to fall off, due to the added weight of the setup for this. I still think it's worth it to further explore this.

Week 33: Chiaroscuro in Photography
Shot with an ISCO Göttingen "Cinelux-Xenon 35-65 mm F 1-3" (projection) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
This is a version for Retina cameras but not named Retina-Xenon. It has short MFD of 0.5m compared to 0.9 of more common Retina-Xenon. Obviously it has longer barel but other than that it is the same lens optically.
As all Xenons it is a beautiful and precisely made. It is similar optical design to Biotar so it is not surprise that it swirl in right conditions. But it is also capable of creating very smooth aquarelish bokeh too.
If I do not want to exaggerate a bit bokeh affect, no post processing is really needed. Colors are rich and natural. Here I worked hard to restaure the details and some colours in peony flower. It is almost impossible to get right this kind of composition straight out of camera. Something has to give up. Or flower is burnt or background is too dark. Lot of pushing and pulling is needed to make it right in the post. Xenon will render enough informations in RAW file to make it possible. I did not try to remove artifacts and as you may see there is not much of them
My attempt at the "Crazy Tuesday" theme "Embroidery".
Shot with a Schneider Kreuznach "Edixa Xenon 50 mm F 1.9" on a Canon EOS R5.
One of my attempts at the "Smile on Saturday" theme "Double Exposure with Objects".
Shot with a Schneider Kreuznach "Xenon 75 mm F2 (fixed aperture)" lens on a Canon EOS R5.
Xenon 50mm f1.9 bokeh withs some flares. This Xenon has very deep front element retraction. That gives it quite good flare management.
Schneider Kreuznach Xenon 50mm f1.9 DKL short MFD lens, as the all other Xenon lenses I tried is joy to use and it did not hide its double gauss nature. Its 0.6m MFD is still not close enough compared to some other fast fifties but there was only one other Xenon lens that comes closer. For me it is not a big deal as I use helicoid adapters for almost all my vintage lenses.
It is very (vintage) sharp at the center and bokeh is painterly impressionistic even when there is no sunshine or light sources in the background.
No post ptocessing is done other than standard Nikon presset.

Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f2 manual. Also red T coating. It has quite long MFD of 0.9m so even with my DIY helicoid exacta adapter it is not possible to come very close and to have focus on infinity without additional macrfo rings.
Hint of swirl, lot ot cat eyes. It deal quite well with very busy background without flattening it to nonexistence. It is much gentler than helios or even xenon bokeh in similar situation.
Ended up having to do 2 edits for this one since I wasn't satisfied with the first. You can find the reject edit below.
