Chris, if you're interested you can borrow my copy for a while to see if the lens is something for your kind of use.

It's the least I can do after killing your lens during maintenance ;D

That's a good idea, but I don't have adapters.

For the NPK 24/2.8 I'll put my hope on Erik. :D
I bought another (beaten one for €25,00) for spare parts. :D

Went today to Jan-Anne's place to borrow his Heligon (and collect my NPK 24/2.8).
Unfortunately we couldn't get of all the adapters, so I went home with a non-functional NPK lens and without a Heligon.
I guess I'll have to wait until our Scotland trip.
Bad end of a nice weekend. :(

Bad end of a nice weekend. :(
Things got so intense that Chris told me I had two weeks to leave his town because Amsterdam was no longer big enough for the two of us....

He stopped flexing his big guns when I started to cry a little but wouldn't leave before I started packing.
Cheers,
Jan Anne

Nice one here, Jakov - great composition and colours. Did you use any extension?

Handheld?

All of the photos posted in this thread are hand held.
There is no focusing ring on the Heligon so I use my neck muscles for focusing :)
The extension ring used is a PN-11. Focusing distance is about 30 cm.

It's amazing how limitations improve ones photography...
Even if you don't have a limited lens like a Heligon, just try it out, fixed focal length, fixed aperture (any 1.4 or 1.8 lens would do), and a fixed focus distance.
Then you really start to think and pre-visualize the image before looking through the viewfinder :)
