A place to share images and ideas with my favorite type of lens. All sizes, lengths, shapes and subjects encouraged.
Nice images Brian. I shot with a friends years ago. Not sure if it was the same design but I think it had 14 blades? I had a chance to buy it for very little $ but passed. I often thought about that missed opportunity.Looking at my photos of the last year I found most of them were taken at the long end with open shutter. Like this I get otimal isolation of the object and a nice creamy bokeh. My favourites at the moment for this are the 4/12-50 qnd the 1.8/75 .

Canon 100mm F2 wide-open, on the Leica M Monochrom. I use a 1.25x magnifier for fast lenses and telephotos.
Back in my Sony e-mount days, I had an obsession with Vivitar lenses. I was only ever able to get my hands on one Series 1 lens, a 19-35mm. It seems like there were Vivitar lenses with cult followings that commanded big $$$ on ebay.Vivitar 135/2.3 Series 1, Wide-Open, Nikon Ftn. This early 1970s lens has floating optics for close-range-correction.
I need to try this lens on the Z5.
