I never get tired of watching those two bicker over anything they can carry.
I was hoping someone would ask about the lens, so thank you!
It's another 16mm projector lens I found for $25 on eBay. It's a Simpson Optical 3in f/2 (3 inches is 75mm). I took it apart to see what the lens formula was, and found just two pieces of glass, a cemented doublet at each end. Basically a Petzval, which are also known for their swirl. I had to design and 3d-print my own adapter to use it, but it was worth it. I
really like this lens, especially the colors it gives.
This dog threw me for a loop. I have seen red huskies before, but never a red merle! I looked it up, and apparently merle huskies are "a thing", but not recognized and strongly discouraged by breeding clubs due to the high risk of defects (deafness, blindness, immune disorders, etc) with the merle gene. Still... they are beautiful!
