Very nice Jerry and thank you for your comment. Was this taken with the 90? I love the bright colors.

These are lovely, Paul. They have a special swirl to them and sharp too. :thumbs:
You have a reasonable Navitar dealer?

Thank you Michiel. The Navitar is quite sharp wide open and can produce some unique bokeh. I realized that the B&W version I originally posted had been Photoshopped with a Topaz layer and so I edited it to show the original. I'll post the B&W on the B&W thread. I purchased my Navitar on ebay. I believe I payed about $150. It's very heavy and built like a tank

@ Rafael. That latest Jena 35 is looking good. I have a storage problem too and need to get rid of some stuff.

Paul, thanks for your comment !
I don't think you need to get rid of stuff, you just need another cupboard :deadhorse::deadhorse:

Using one of the few Carl Zeiss Jena Tevidon f2.8/70mm I have new in box, converted to infinity c-mount..

foward/backward bokeh

 

[kds315]

Same lens (also @f2.8), different flower (iris); one lens already less in my possession...

Lovely images, everyone.

Very cool Michiel. I had wondered how that S1 lens might do

Pentax Super Multi Coated TAKUMAR 135mm f2.5 (version 3) with extension tube

Nice ones, Paul. Is that Takumar as sharp as your Carl Zeiss Jena lens?
Just wondering.

Here are two more with that V 1 lens.
In my opinion it is not as good as my Vivitar Series1 Telemacro 70-210/3.5.
But at least it is not as heavy.
The first one is a close focus example.

Thanks Michiel. I doubt the Pentax is as sharp as the CZ Jena although I've not run a side by side comparison test. I also have the Pentax SMC K version of this lens which has the same optical formula. Focusing on both is about as good as it gets and superior to the Jena and many other lenses.

Your last two shots make that V1 zoom look pretty good.

Wonderful shots Paul + Michiel!

Here another one using the 70mm Tevidon @f2.8

 

[turbines]

Nice one Klaus and thanks for your comments. I am anxious to try the Tevidon.

[kds315]

Most welcome Paul!

Finally dug out my Trioplan...

Very nice, Taphapy. I love the colors, shapes and overall smoothness.
