The petite Cooke Speed Panchro series 1 1" f/2 lens on my black Nikon Z fc. Seen in IR, which discloses the focusing adapter and Arca plate reflect a lot in IR, but not the lens itself.  I'll paint the inside of the mounting disc with flat black later. The Z fc is IR-dark except for the top dials.

When television was introduced it was called the "idiot's lantern."

Raymond Chandler, back in 1950, wrote: "And as for the commercials – well, I understand that the concoction of these is a business in itself, a business that makes prostitution or the drug traffic seem quite respectable."

Smartphones are just the latest manifestation.
