Juni and the Bokeh Monster
No, the “Bokeh Monster” doesn’t have any relationship with the flying spaghetti monster. It is a vintage Pentacon 1:2,8 135mm lens in the 15 iris blade and preset aperture version. More about that at the bottom of the page.
After a never ending time with too much rain in May it was fine weather at last. Let’s go outside!

One flea market, two vintage lenses
Last Saturday was a flea market in Stuttgart one again. The result: Two lenses for 30 EUR. A Pentacon 1,8/50mm multi coating and a Pentacon 1:2,8/135mm, also multicoating. Actually the are from Meyer Görlitz who later changed to the brand Pentacon. All photos are made with the Canon EOS 600D

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.
Number one: Helios-44M (Zenit), Flohmarktfund für 5 EUR.
