+1. You are all doing very well on Day 100.
So far I had been a bit unfortunate this week with long days at work and bad weather if I had some time, but you can't skip Day 100 isn't it?
Just happy to have scored 2 out of my 4 options for Day 100 today.

First set is with Pentacon2.8//100mm Auto (Meyer Orestor 2.8/100mm copy), M42 on A99ii.
First time to experiment with the glass ball.

FS-100.1 Reed



FS-100.2 Birch



FS-100.3 Fungus



FS-100.4 Clouds

Let me expand my commenting a little

I like the pussy willows/catkins Heikki, ideal subjects for that lens
Paul, didn't Herbie have another number? Nice shots anyway.
Marius, "Garden Composition" is really "Garden Composition^2"
Leo, that Kine lens has it all, distortion and character galore
Paul, the Royal Mint is quite a building, well captured. I'm surprised you can get such clean shots, did you have to stick your lens through a fence or can you just walk up to the building?
Michael, excellent shots of the parking and the sunblinds, the next series is a nice step back in time.
Fred, nice experiments with the ball, I've always resisted getting one being afraid the novelty will wear off pretty quickly so I'm looking forward how you are getting on with it over time.

Thanks Pieter. This is a 35mm Kinon which is more comfortable to use on FF because you don't get dark corners as with 16mm cine lenses; you never know how much of the sensor is covered with those. 16mm is more exciting though because FF shows you all the interesting lens 'faults', especially at the edges. Every disadvantage has its advantage, to quote a famous Dutchman :-)

I agree Pieter. I have one and used it once or twice. It's also quite heavy so it's not like a filter that you can take with you all the time and use if the occasion arises. Nevertheless, it's fun to experiment with it!

Pieter, Herbie was 53. I'm 59 (just a few months more) and when I reincarnate I will surely come back with a lower number!
The Royal Mint is surprisingly approachable as the fence is close to the building (hence 17 mm with shift to get straight verticals). For those interested in the broader picture of the Royal Mint you can go here. A fascinating building that I need to explore further....

Let's start with this week's focal length(s)...

HK105A.1 Stone steps of Crimean war era fortifications in Matosaari

After two failed attempts at 4" (102 mm) I swopped to 10.5 cm. Lovely lens, very sharp wide open, character not revealing in these images.
