A few snaps taken today using the Zeiss S-Orthoplanar f5.6 105mm lens fully open (mounted to my modular large lens focusing system).

This high resolution 8e/6g lens has been designed by Dr Erhard Glatzel, then chief lenses designer at Zeiss Oberkochen.

Perfect clarity and perfect sharpness. Not to mention perfect composition which completes great picture.
I wonder how they then designed and calculated such perfect optical instruments. Bit of intuition, experience, lucky guess plus confirmation on paper? Or endless experiments until perfect lens is mastered? Anyway, this lens is masterpiece.

Hmm, Klaus, you killing me man. Now I put another 2 lenses on my very short " to have '' list.
#2 from the first set is stellar.
BTW, didn't we have here a member who almost bet his life that the enlarger lenses are not good for this kind of pictures?

Yes, this lens is indeed a masterpiece and its design was used by his inventor Prof. Glatzel of Zeiss (lived 1925 - 2002) in his master class teachings for students as an example to explain how he could get rid of about all optical errors in a lens. The design was done using computers and applying a damped least squares optimization algorithm. Here about Prof. Glatzel: http://www.zeisshistorica.org/Glatzel.html whoalso invented the famous Zeiss / Pentax 3.5/15mm, the HOLOGON and the Makro Planar lenses amongst others.

I love those backlit shots too, as it brings out the microstructure so well and also the wonderful colors hidden in them!

They are hard to find, esp. the 105mm and to be honest, it is a very expensive lens (one on ebay now wants $10.000) and needs quite a bunch of luck to find it for less.

This was also an example that "enlarger lenses" (actually is is not one, but a taking lens for microdocumentation) can deliver outstanding results.

Next to 60mm Orthoplanar one of my most regarded lenses it is but it's usual price is... well far above what I would pay for it Wink Too bad...

You should consider buying an A7r or successor or another very high resolving camera for it, that lens would deserve it Smile

Does the aperture not open completly or did you do a little mistake in description?
Bokeh shows pentagons in nearly all "wide open" samples.

You made very nice samples with it!
