New old lens

For some long time it was on my wish list. And occasionally I could shoot one on eBay for a somewhat reasonable price (how much exactly I won’t tell you ). A Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm in the F2,4 Multicoated version.

Full moon

…or at least almost. According to the calendar this should be the day after tomorrow. Although the entire day was fairly overcast there was a short time to see the (almost) full moon. 10 minutes later it was hidden behind the clouds again.

Vintage lenses – or waste glass recycling

The nice thing of a DSLR – and also mirrorless system cameras – is, that there are plenty of vintage lenses (“waste glass”) which can easily adapted (“recycled”). The results may vary, sometimes the are better but sometime even much worse than with the kit-lenses. Anyhow it’s fascinating, that you have (and must take) full control over exposure time, aperture and focus. At least this is a reason to deal with this subject.
