Day prime 2022

The third and last lens for this week. A quick walk through the garden after dinner.


peg 200-10: Echinacea



peg 200-11: Succulent with a visitor


Both Leica M246M + M-Telyt 200/4 + 18 mm extension tubes

I really wanted to test this M-Telyt on a native brand camera but the M-mount is on a so called OUBIO 16466M ring which is really made to fit on a Visoflex mirror box and has a contraption sticking out that interferes with mounting it directly on a M camera body . After some thinking I mounted two M extension tubes (total 18 mm) so the part sticking out doesn't touch the camera body anymore, but this limits the focus range to about 4 meter. So for "semi-macro" it's OK but no landscapes possible. But since the lens also doesn't have a rangefinder coupling it's use on an M-body is limited anyway, these shots were both framed/focussed with an EVF-2 so I guess I'll use this lens most on my A7's (with an adapter)

These are my last 200 mm shots this week, which leaves two of my 200 mm lenses unused (a Tamron and a Travenar). I think I can live with that

It has been a long time since I posted in this thread. Such is life.

First the long end of the very fine FE 4/70-200 G OSS.

And here's my 'Day 200' attempt with the Orestegor. Passing a parked classic car in the streets of Munich.


200.1 - "Jaguar XK 150 drophead Coupe"

a7RIVa + Meyer-Optik Görlitz Orestegor 200/4 1Q




200.2 - "Leaping Jaguar statue"

a7RIVa + Meyer-Optik Görlitz Orestegor 200/4 1Q

Good wor with the Orestegors, you both make them "sing' Paul and Michael. But the long end of that 70-200 delivers fine results as well, especially 1783 and molen #3.

Since yesterday we're in week 30 for focal lengths between 206 and 212.
An excellent opportunity to show some beercan long ends

Great to see the usual suspects returning to Day Prime!
