Lovely work, Klaus.

I particularly enjoy the light and aesthetic of the photos in the 1920s Petzval type 80mm group.

Thanks, appreciate your kind words Charlie!

Impressive results, Klaus with these lenses.  That LOMO has a pleasant softness.

Lovely images. How do you mount it on the camera?
I have a Colorplan, bought it to replace the Hector 85/2.8 lens that came with my Leica/Pradovit projector. In the shop I had the chance to compare both lenses side by side, the Colorplan was noticeably crisper and brighter. I sometimes wondered if I could use the Colorplan for photography, if it were placed in a flexible mount it should be possible to use it as a tilt-lens ...

Impressive and very interesting. I´m in love with the results you get from the 1920s Petzval type 80mm. Fantastic

Glad you like it. A very special lens and classic Petzval drawing!

Carl Zeiss Jena VISIONAR 1.9/154mm





Sharpness and contrast are IMHO outstanding for far away objects for a f1.9 projection lens, of course there is quite a bit CA.

It does work closer up, but not optimized for this:

Wonderful warm late autumn sun today, had to grab the VISIONAR 154mm again and take some shots...
