Oh, those days of modifying the Noct ... sparks flying everywhere ... the sound and smell of a Dremel at high revs ... Must be experienced to be believed. Thanks for bringing back the memories, Erik.

My current set of Nocts should be documented too, but this has to wait until  return from a medical appointment. Meanwhile, one has to do with the meagre substitute of a 43-86 mm Zoom-Nikkor (latest version) with its CPU modification to make it compatible even to the lowest end of the Nikons, in this case an IR-modified D40X. The 43-86 is excellent for IR, by the way.

Long, Tall Sally: the 1200 mm f/11 ED-IF Nikkor with a 300 mm f/2.8 AIS as a scale. By the way, this lens is an excellent performer on digital cameras provided one removes any front filter.

Just amazing how big those u43 cameras are compared with a Twin-Lens Reflex film camera.

I bought this one in 1978.

Zörkendorfer tilt/shift adapters on an F3T and F2T, respectively.
By the way, the contraption to the right is widely seen these days in the shape of t/s adapter for m43 cameras.

I got to know Zörkendörfer personally at Photokina 2012. What a great screwdriver type of guy.

As I understood he really develops and hand craft all of his adapers himself.

How do these handle?
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Unknown to me. The guy told me he was hired by Sky TV for a documentary. I don't watch much TV and certainly not Sky Channel.

The documentary was excellent and the Guy's work outstanding. This rig was just a small part of the equipment used.

Cheers

That is some serious Glass!

This is the oldest Nikkor that I've ever shot with- was sent to me for cleaning, was opaque when received. It came out quite nice.

I tested it out, sent it to the happy owner. Construction was very similar to the Canon 50/3.5 Serenar that came a bit later. Canon used to sell their cameras with Nikon lenses. My Nikkor 5cm F1.5 came with a Canon III on the back-end of it.

In my younger days, I tried hard to adhere to the illusion you could put everything into a cupboard. Now, some years later, I'm the wiser. One really needs a dedicated lens house !!

The 600 mm f/4 AIS with an F5 as counterbalance .... Atop a small (75 mm class) Sachtler tripod.
