| | Bonjour,
Yet another "Franken-lens" creation ... Found a Werra Rangefinder lens at my thrift store: a Jena (Carl Zeiss) Cardinar 100/4 in decent shape, but I do need to pull apart the glass and clean up some minor haze/fungus ... still quite usable.
Tubed it to about 22mm to have a "correct" registration distance ... this was all trail and error ... and re-try again. Here are some early sample test shots ... wide open or near ... the second one is with additional tube length added. Allez et salut, John le Frog | |
