A New Year with Meyer (2020)

Thanks Peter! At least it felt rewarding

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

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

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.

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

Fun with Fungi

I'm currently involved in oktoberfest with some pretty good lenses, but suddenly felt the urge to do something wild. So I gave myself a 1 hour event pass and mounted the Triopan 100/2.8. Here's some of what it saw:


1: Looking through the wild azaleas



2: Blowing bubbles



3: Bubbles behind the hedge



4: No bubbles, but a nice wild background


All on an A7ii

After this short escape one of my oktoberfest lenses was mounted again

+1. I understand fully Pieter. I have escaped with Trioplans as well.
