Pancace – or vintage lens, part 2

Yesterday I was on the Saturday flea market in Stuttgart again. I found some “waste glass”. Unfortunately it stuck on some “waste metal”. It is a Industar 3,5/50mm together with a Zenit Revueflex E.

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.
