Today's homework: spring in the neighborhood.

Still trying to get a grip of this lens to have it perform as I like. Not as easy as I thought... The blur it creates is rather different according to distance or light conditions. Rikenon 55mm f1.2 was easier to handle. The mae-bokeh, particularly if very close, tends to disappear almost completely under f2.8.
The DC control was set on full "F". I used a 1 inch Macro Tube and set focus on infinity. I sprayed water about 2 feet in front of the lens and positioned the flash about 2 feet above the lens pointing at the water. The color hues were added in Adobe Bridge to give it some interest.

Meyer-Optik Görlitz 50mm ƒ/2.9 Trioplan, wide open. Adapted to Fujifilm X-T3, 10 mm macro tube to get close.
The clovers are in bloom these days so I went out and shot into the sun to highlight the flowers. My goal was to get soap bubble bokeh on the background highlights. I set the DC control to full "F" setting which creates bubble bokeh. The lens is very soft on this setting.
Nature is bold and beautiful as Spring approaches...

Meyer Optik Gorlitz Trioplan f/2.8 100mm
I know this is wrong in so many ways...noisy, lacking sharpness and obviously way off the mark focus wise but sometimes I think sod it...I love the rainbow effect of the light and the crazy Trioplan bokeh! What the heck ;-))
With ISO 50 film you inevitably find yourself shooting with the diaphragm rather wide open and therefore a limited DoF, which can lead to strange effects, such as here: distinctive bubble bokeh.
Silbersalz35 is a German startup that offers Kodak cine film re-packaged in standard 35 mm film cartridges plus development and high resolution scans. Their film is sold in packs of four cartridges.
I tried them once last winter, at the time with four rolls of their 500T tungsten balanced high ISO film.
This time I ordered a pack of four different rolls. This is the ISO 50 daylight balanced fine grain fim. Silbersalz 35 now comes in DX coded cartridges. The DX code would automatically set an overexposure by one stop, but I overrode that and exposed it at ISO 50.
I used the Zeiss Ikon Contarex with a Planar 50 lens for this roll.
I have created a Flickr group for photos shot with the Zeiss Ikon Contarex.

The sun was just right to help be get these Bokeh balls from the 44-3. I used lightroom to enhance the surreal nature of the photo. Mounted on Olympus m5.3.
My beloved lens Carl Zeiss Planar T* 1.4/50 ZF.2
(This photo was taken with Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50/2.8 on Sony.)
With modern lenses I shoot with the subject in mind. but with my old lenses I shoot with the background in mind which sometimes isnt cool because the subject might be mundane like this mango, but the way the sparkly background bits shine almost like liquid light is hypnotizing and I cant help it. this is the minimum focusing distance of the Mir 37mm which is a shame because its not best for close up flowers. this lens was released in 1954 and at the 1958 Brussels worlds fair received the "Grand Prix" award which has ever since been stamped on its barrel. if I had shot this with a modern lens the background would have been smoother and creamier but also more clinical and generic. If I had shot a brick wall wide open like this the edges would be way too soft so this centered subject style is perfect for these lenses.
I just completed my most detailed review of this Soviet Mir 37mm lens which took 3 mos to compile all the footage. if youre interested youre welcome to behold it here on my YT channel.
Triplet lens (1952)
Pentax K-1
Asahi- Kogaku Takumar 100mm f:3.5
Adapter M-37 to Pentax bayonet
Like the famous Meyer Trioplan, the Asahi-Kogaku Takumar 100mm f:3.5 lens has a triplet design and is capable of producing delightful bubble-bokeh. Originally produced in 1952 as the first accessory lens for the Asahiflex (Japan's first SLR) it has the unusual Asahiflex M-37 screw-mount.
Shot in APSC format, lens wide open, image uncropped.
