Lens Talk / Re: Spring Green Frog with the Hasselblad XCD 135mm_1.7 Tele
« Last post by Michael Erlewine on May 05, 2025, 22:04:53 »Ay, Michael!
Can you describe the special quality you see here compared to a Nikon / Sony / iPhone 16?
Please share for us to understand
Thank you!
Nothing to understand. I don't think of it that way. I could shoot this with any of the above, other than the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which I have.
I just happened to have the Hasselblad XCD lens and there was this frog. I'm not justifying my use of the Hasselblad. I just happen to have it at the time. It's a larger image than Nikon or Sony could provide me other than some pixel doubling or something.

Nice effort from your grandson.I would guess the drinking habit of the captain comes with its own countermeasure
I worry about the corks however; is the captain of the ship a heavy drinker?

A pollard willow from the garden. It's at the end of its life, the trunk totally hollow.
Circumference is 4.32 meters at 1.5m.

It has been good fun adapting the lens and trying to use it. The hardest part of focusing on a moving subject (my son will not hold still
) is the narrow ring on the helicoid that is right up against the camera body. Quote
Besides, enlarger lenses tend to be quite affordable items.
I'm going to need a bigger cupboard

Yes its Puerh Sheng
Though many come out brown, some can appear more green on brewing
