Congratulations Attila. The first one is great. Pitty for that haze (?).

Maybe the lens is imperfect but what fun to try it out! Looks like her "aura" or maybe Superman just took off when he saw you.

Nice to see the old lenses getting some use.
They can show us the progression, or regression, that photography has taken through the years.

What is really amazed me the technical jump around 1930-40 in Germany, many lenses are from this are sharp and contrasty like modern lenses  my favorite lens area around 1950 , they made superb lenses.

Really like the first shot! It looks like she's about to get sucked up into the

And Attila, apologies to your wife, just making an observation!

Herbert Keppler (legendary US photo columnist) said his first lens was a Victar, and it was horrible.
There are no bad lenses, just ones you haven't found a use for yet !
