@Bjørn: cann you also tell me the name of the plant in Reply #9? is that a "Stechapfel"? Thank you

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Frank: It is not the highly poisonous and hallucinogenic Datura plant. So, you are safe

The fruit heads remind me of a Burr Reed Sparganium, but cannot make the remainder of the plant to match any species known to me.

It goes without saying that I love this blurry thread.
Not only are the images blurry but the tech knowledge shared is crystal clear

Sorry Frank, not helping me much apart from observing this probably is a monocot (which I already had surmised).

[Frank Fremerey]

Jakov. You master this lens to create wonderful light paintings. Thank you.

[John Geerts]

Great images Bjørn and Jakov ! 

The colors are beautiful of this lens, but Black and White is possible too   

[Jakov Minić]

Good morning

[Frank Fremerey]

Good morning

After seing that picture it is a VERY good morning even. And you too!

[Jakov Minić]

Good morning NikonGear!

[John Geerts]

Brilliant, Jakov. A real Goodmorning  


I did a small  test comparing the Heligon 100 with the Voigtlander 90 

[Jakov Minić]

John, the Heligon glowingly wins!

[Bjørn J]

John, the Heligon glowingly wins!

I agree - only the Heligon gives the "Heligon-look"

This reminds me of my having to return the last CV90 on the shelf, due to excessive amounts of chromatic aberration. It hurts, because the lens is now discontinued, and the tactile feeling was that of solid quality; which of course proved itself not to be true. I miss it, though.

Neither the 90/3.5 nor the 180/ APO Lanthars are equally "APO" like the 125/2.5 CV. But that does not entail they are poor performers, very far from so. One just has to allow for the ever so slight CA on occasion. Easy to remove with the modern tools at our disposal.
