@helveticablanc I have a wishlist a mile long on the soviet lens front, including some enlarger lenses which are supposedly really really nice @helveticablanc oh oh i also have one of those old Nikon reflex lenses (which is basically a mirror telescope) and the reviews are always like 'oh no never use these for photo' but idk I've gotten some great shots out of it even tho it has a fixed aperture. @transmundane Fascinating! It's super interesting to me when folks use stuff outside of intended parameters. Esp when they get interesting results! |
@helveticablanc I got really obsessed with soviet lenses. I shoot on a Nikon Z6, and I have a buncha adapters. I've got a Jupiter 37A which is wild and makes very pretty pictures. I also was looking around for like the "best" 50mm vintage lens, and idk if it's best but like the Konika Hexanon 50mm makes spuper pretty stuff (and it's really really cheap) partially cuz I've never had a lens with such a small aperture, but also it looks really good wide open (DOF and boke are so pretty)
