Bjørn, what sensor size is involved here?

BTW, very nice image.

A Panasonic GH-2.

John Koerner. Love the birthday set. Esp. The flower with bokeh mother.

Thanks Frank. It was fun taking "atypical" shots at my brother's party, and the "bokeh mom" working to prepare his cake behind the flower was my favorite too

Oude Delft 65 mm f/075.

On what camera are these photographs with the Oude Delft 65mm taken? Didn't you once write an article showing how to modify this lens (or some other of the ultra-fast exotics that you have) for F-mount or Nikon 1 mount or m4/3? I can't seem to find it now.

I have written lots on that topic, but the stuff is no longer available to me either.

For the Elephant's Feet, a Panasonic GH-2.

This may be of food for thoughts?

Talk about losing the overview !!  Thanks, Akira.

I knew there was an article on this topic somewhere ...

Bjørn: How about sorting the

[lens talk]

or at least the

[lens review]

by focal length?

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Poor Andrea - - - more SQL wizardry.

Automated sorting demands a level of adherence to formatting rules not easy to enforce with any efficiency.

For the time being, let Andrea get the opportunity to do her annual Tax Returns.

Bjørn, the categorization here is successful.  I could think of nothing other than "What The Nerds Do" section.

I have to say that whenever I searched for something on NG by using the search box I succeeded
Perhaps I was just lucky until now...

Thanks, I was looking for 'De Oude Delft' which isn't mentioned in that thread, but instead a Rodenstock 50/0.75.
I have access to a cheap Oude Delft 65/0.75, don't know what I will do with it, but it was too cheap to pass up.
I will have to find a mechanic of some sort to make it usable on some camera, so any thread with information on these sorts of modifications are helpful.

[Bjørn Rørslett]

The lens (65/0.75) is useable on any camera, but its bulk and weight make it quite impractical, if I might say so. The register distance is extremely short and if exceeded will generate a highly curved field.

I have seen a very interesting application though for that lens. A guy make it into a superspeed astrocamera. Using film, as even the better mirrorless cameras available today will put the lens at too far distance from the sensor plane. Haven't the reference at hand now, but an internet search should bring it up.

I believe the old Nikongear had an article on making an F mount for the 65 Oude Delft. It is not that difficult but requires you play with adapters and step rings. I hold my solution in hand as I write this. It even has a CPU ...
