Well, sort of a 'Makro-Domiplan'. . . the (in)famous 50mm f2.8 Domiplan in front of a Soligor x2 teleconverter and a Topcon No.2 extension tube (about 10mm). Stopped down to f5.6 and hand held. Not bad really . . . everyone should have a Domiplan

Domiplan is the black sheep of the Meyer family. Many people have tried it because it is so cheap, if for no other reason. It's a crap shoot whether you get a good one, a bad one, or one in between. I bought one that was bad, then bought another that was very good.

It's nice.
But I think that if you take the same picture With another tessar type lens or a good triplet like the lanthar, you will obtain a sharpest and/or contrastier picture.
It seems that the soligor did a decent work.

The back element is held in place with three diagonal grub screws. Bad design, it often shifts and is a pain to get properly centred. That is why so many are poor but it is a problem that can be fixed, albeit a tricky and fiddly task.

Aside from my comment about the lens, that is a very good result, especially since a teleconverter was used.

You have to click on the image to see the image better.
Domiplan plus a teleconvertor and extension tube, you are very brave to have tried that  It seemed to have worked. The fact it's handheld is staggering,I have to ask which camera was used?

Thanks for comments, everyone. Mo - that shot was taken on my Lumix G1. The wide-open performance is , er, well, not very good . . . but things improve greatly at f5.6.

I prefer domiplan for it's soap bubble bokeh when used wide open.
My cousin Özgür Kerem Bulur tried reversed domiplan a long time ago on extension tubes. Here is a sample from his profile.
It's not the best macro lens but it can be used when there is no other option. |

Very good point.
Obviously. Scsambrook is better photographer than the domiplan as lens, by far. |
