Zeiss Novar-Anastigmat 4.5/105


And?

Well, it's not too bad:



And if used on bellows, it's a close-up lens:

100% crop, handheld


@ f4.5


@ f8



Coating is not too good:


But with a little PP, it looks like this:


This lens performs better than I have expected and it generates images you cannot produce with new lenses.

I'd like to link to Veijos site: http://www.galactinus.net/vilva/retro/index.html
He's the master of these old lenses.

Hi , the pics are impressive !.
I tried some old lenses as well.
This samples were taken with Tessar 2,8/ 8cm from 1938 (Korelle Dresden,no coating).

Yes, It seems that the image quality is different of the new lenses.

These pics have something that make them pleasents, that you want to see for long time without continuity solution .

Later for sure...

Sorry to hear that. This must be a new strain of virus, ie. the kind that can cross the ocean. Many people on campus had it the last couple of weeks, including 3 in my family.

The pictures are nice. And your DIY makes a convincing case for me buying a bellow.

Get well and take care.
