Pentacon AV 80mm 2.8 samples

[secludedsea]

I recently picked up the Pentacon AV 80mm projector lens (same as the Meyer Diaplan as far as I know) and converted it to mirrorless with a simple trombone focus mechanism. I wrote about that, the new Kickstarter project and thoughts on the cult of bokeh here: http://sjp.id.au/photography/meyer-optik-trioplan-lens/

Some samples below. I rushed out at sunset on a cloudy day just as the weak winter sun was beginning to fade. I used an Olympus E PM1 and my home made Pentacon AV lens housing.
