In another thread, a member has been asking about Carl Zeiss Tessar T* 45mm f/2.8 for the C/Y mount cameras. Since I have a few small lenses, two of them being so-called pancakes, I decided to make ...

Very cute photo, thank you for entering this challenge and congratulations!

Very nice candid photo, thank you for entering this challenge and congratulations!

Nice images, especially the second one is very moody. Noct Nikkor is an iteresting lens. I have earlier Ai version and I need to use it more to see what all the fuzz is about. I know that coma ...

EF 50/1.2L is a sort of the bridge between old legacy lenses based on a standard convex/concave optics and modern ones with the extensive use of special glass and molded aspherical elements. It has ...

18/3.5, 21/2.0, 50/2 Macro, 24/3.5 Shift, 24/2.0, 16/3.5 fisheye, 180/2.0, 250/2.0, and 8/2.8 circular fisheye ;-) Just kidding, the lenses that you might try are 85/2 and 100/2.8, both can be ...
