Very good!


Can you provide some more info? Special lens, this Carl Zeiss (well of course, but this one in particular?)

The truth is, it's hard to find photo samples taken from these Luminars on the net...so I guess here at Nikonians, there are a few.
Zeiss Luminars were originally used as microscope lenses/objectives - my version(25mm) can magnify up to 20X or more - I can only manage 12.5X magnification. At 12.5X, you need a 'dark cloth' used in LargeFormat cameras to isolate yourself from minute stray light - it is really dark in the viewfinder. I'm currently designing a LED based illuminator for my custumized integral flash diffuser to solve this problem - it makes focusing easier. I'll post some sketches when this project is done or even photos.

Oh Arthury, "you really have got nothing else to do" - by the way, it was shot with a very old Nikkormat FT - not all the way Hasselblad - and oh, I do own a whole set of Hasselblad...


You see, no one at the "A picture I took" forums complained about this image that was taken by a CarlZeiss lens...why don't you post your Hasselblad images, huh.


At least I was honest - but you?
