This morning a tiny Industar 50-2 arrived from Ukraine. It loks almost ridiculous on my not so big Canon 30D. Very Happy

I need some time to test it properly. Hope it will be a tiny lens with a big result.

I have to say that this is all your fault. Laughing Hopefully it's the cheapest lens I've ever bought.

I got one from Attila - my first taste of russian lens and i performs beautifully. Far better than its price suggests, probably one of the best values out there.

Juanma,
I love mine, it's not as sharp as the longer ones, but the fine colouring is very adequate for our mediterranean light.

Here you have some of my trial shots:

@Attila
Yes and it's all your fault. I just received the Helios 44 and 40. At first blush they look good especially the 40 (man it's big). My problem is the E300 and it is difficult for me to focus with it. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Will get a Canon I think.

Jes you really have an amazingly good copy of this lens!
It is really Leica-sharp for 1/100th of the price. Shocked

My favourite is this one because of the amazing Norfolk Island Pine you can glimpse near the tallest street light.

Will you go to the Carnival of Sitges?

Orio, I didn't see a link to the image you are referencing to the Norfolk Island pine tree. I am a sort of "tree junkie" and would love to see the specimen you are referring to. Wink

Jes, that group of images is superb! Wow, such a little lens that can do some big things!

Juanma, I look forward to some posts from this lens!

Not at all. But you have to take into account that under this strong ligth, you can get a nice d.o.f.
It's a wonderful lens because it's size and the nice colouring. Sharpness is not comparable to the CZJ Planar, but it's a very enjoyable one.
I like it a lot, I want to try it soon with film...

Best regards,
Jes.

Hi Orio, I bought it for 9€ to an Ukranian guy. The lens is in very good shape and well conserved. I'm thinking of getting another spare one, (one for the Pentax and one for the Canon).

So you call them so Smile. I've to ask my daugther Julia what's the local name for it, but for sure nothing about "Norfolk..."... Very Happy Very Happy

Depends on the dates it happens. If it falls on a weekend, for sure. If the Weather Gods are happy, it's a nice opportunity to shot colourful pictures.

Best regards,
Jes.

That's the English common name. The scientifical name is Araucaria heterophylla.

Was first identified as growing on Norfolk Island in the South Pacific I believe.

It is native of that island. Whatever examples you see around the world, they were exported.

Thank you for the direct link, Orio! I sort of assumed it was that unusual tree, but didn't expect it to be so "manicured" looking! Wow, what a specimen!

Speaking of trees, there are 7 world-record sized trees within a couple hours drive of my home! Wow!

To my knowledge, the west of US is the richest place on earth for the so called "venerable trees".
Obviously the fact that the white people with their mania of tree cutting, has arrived there later than to Europe, helped a lot.

Of course, we're speaking of the known ones. God knows what sizes would be found in the heart of Amazony forest or African tropical forest...

We just lost our state tree here in Oregon - blew down in the last big storm. It was immortalized on our license plates. Apart from that there are all the great old virgin trees in the rain forest in Oregon and Washington that we are trying our darndest to stop them from cutting down. It is amazing to me that greed knows absolutely no bounds.

I haven't had a chance (nor has anyone else I guess) to ford the Queets River and get across to the big Douglas Fir -- I hope it survived.

My tree ( I say 'my', but it's not mine, really - I'm just leasing the view of it) is an old Scots Pine on the corner of my property; it must be around 100ft tall and at a guess 150 years old. Must put a pic of it up later.
It's a sturdy old thing and I'm amazed it hasn't blown over in the winter gales, but it's always been a lone tree so has a decent root system.

Shame it's not an Irish Pine Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Would love to see a picture of it. And more of Ireland in general - as my ancestral home and a place I have spent some time in.

Here's a pic of it... somebody who knows a bit more about trees might put a proper ID on it... the bark seems different to Scots Pines I see on the web. It's always just been know locally as the Scots Pine, but it might not be.
