A New Year with Meyer (2020)

My smallest lens by far. Meyer Görlitz Trioplan 1:2,8 f=17mm (C-mount, pre WW2).

Fun with Fungi

Thank you, Peter. I've learned to look carefully around certain plants. The tree frogs have learned well how to hide and wait for bugs. A fellow photographer here recently captured a much more interesting picture of a similar scene. There was the tree frog perched exactly like in my image and a snake climbing the stem, presumably after the frog. I never learned the outcome of that encounter but it sure made for an interesting photo.

No snake, but I was able to get the flower and frog being photographed by my shooting mate. This one from Trioplan 2.9/50.

Here two more from the the same first walk with that Trioplan 3.5/45mm (on A7R2)

I've been back to my Meyer lenses and finally have some to post. This one from Oreston 1.8/50 and A7 II.

Thanks Peter! At least it felt rewarding

Thanks Ine! Indeed, the T100 is hard to beat, but for a few euro's this T45mm is nice enough

Here is my latest aquisition: The Trioplan f3.5/45mm, SN2961859, as mentioned from a Beirette Junior II.

It was my first surgery, operation succeeded, but camera died.

After detaching the lens, I also removed the shutterblades, which were stuck (already). But without a 'T' option on the shutter, I didn't need the blades anyhow. Fisrt time I opened a lens so far and deep., but that gave me the opportunity to clean it a bit as well.
