The best way to know is to smell it. It should smell "garlic",
otherwise it is not. Very Happy

Garlic is a strong plant, even one tiny piece can grow on the ground.
I doubt birds eat garlic, and there is no seed like structure. Or maybe
some birds may eat it, but no way bird droppings grow in this case.

Yes , but many different point of views, makes the subject even funnier. I think this is the simpliest, but that does not mean the easier.

@katastrofo : thanx, and to be honest i'm really surprised by the lens quality. Nonetheless i expected it to be quite good:D


The last post shows great lenses at work Olivier ! nice stuff

Thanks Hexi.

I agree with Katastrofo for your second shot.

For Shadows ones, my preference goes to #5.


About the Trioplan picture, Orio will notice it is not shot wide open. I closed the diaph at f8 to show its sharpness. Wink

Thanx , you're welcome

Another from last roll of Supra 400. Shot with Contax 139 Planar 50mm 1.7 @ f5.6 1/60 .scan from negative, home C41 dev. I am really amazed by this lens Cool

@ Shadows - I like 4,5 and 6, they have that soft focus thing going...
@ Olivier - #5, wowee that's some fluorescent orange in the back Wink

Here's one with the Yashica Mat 124G, Portra 160NC, and an INDIA brand +1 close up lens...

Nesster, your results are better than my attempts using a diopter on the
Ricohflex. I like both of these, but that daylily shot is spectacular!

Thank you Bill - by the looks of it, the diopter has a pretty curved plane of focus, on that second shot the middle of the flower is fuzzier than the top and bottom...

I see what you mean, still a great shot, though, and love Portra colors! You
also nailed the parallax compensation that I failed to do! Laughing
