Isco Projar 4/36, a dwarfy buddy

[alex ph]

Isco Projar 4/36, an unusual technical triplet, very small, without diaphragm and helicoid, and slightly fungused in my copy.

Some typical triplet character is there, namely soft corners. I have not caught bubbles in OOF, but did not search for them especially. In general, a pleasant glass to play with.

All shots wide open on Sony Nex, with some basic PP (mostly contrast tweaks).

Nice little triplet!

Thank you fellows!

At times the lens darkens the image a bit, giving to it a retro "noir" feeling.

Great shots. This is a projector lens?

[alex ph]

Thank you, Gatorengineer64. I am asking myself about the original lens' destination. It might be a projector lens for some unknown equipment or a technical enlarger lens. Aside the tiny size, it has a mount thread out of standards, of 23.5mm.
