Underdog? No, It's A Wonderdog!

The poor man's Tessar.

As always, this lens continues to amaze me. The crisp edges, the bokeh, the rendition of true colors - the "underdog" Industar is one of the true bargains. It looks so weird on my 35mm SLR! Like a little snub nosed toy lens. But it just keeps on rolling along with always good results.

Times have certainly changed. As I was shooting the tip of the Sword Fern, a young lad asked me "where's the screen"? I pointed to my head and said, "right here". Very Happy

I'll process a few more from this little wonder soon.

Nice Framing. That lens is really good considering at this resolution I can see all the "hairy" parts pretty clear.

Loved the bit about 'where's the screen' as I shoot film quite often and people look at me like I am an ancient neanderthal! They proudly show me their compact digital and tell me where that's where the future is!

I don't tell them about my 3 rangefinder, 2 medium format, 17 35mm slr and 3 digital slr cameras as that would spoil their sense of superiority? lol


By the way great shot - gotta get me one of those right now....zooooming off to ebay to feed the addiction!

Beautiful shot Laurence
Seems you are able to win on every challenge
Green on green are not the easiest and you do it brilliant
I don't think the k110d could get the shot to this level

The other day I was shooting with the Praktica MTL 5B (not a very modern camera), some portraits of my friens. After every portrait I said to them "Look at you. you look great!" by pointing to the camera's back. Every one of them looked at it expecting to find the little LCD display. Laughing Laughing Laughing

We are too much in the digital era! Razz

By the way, Laurence, I like a lot this plant, it's very interesting. What's its name?
