Gary Fong Lightsphere. I'm sure some people got a lot of use out of it, but I wasn't one of them.

Are those (shift ?) adjustment screws on flexible spring-shafts? They look sort of B9's arms.


Jim, you're getting there. Not sure what you mean by B9 though

Any guesses on the FL?

I'm thinking about 90mm.

OK I would never have got the B9 reference ....

90mm is a little long. This could be one of the biggest normal lenses ...

That's a Bronica Schneider 55mm PCS.... focus ring is a give-away. Medium format lenses offer the greater coverage needed for movements on smaller formats, but usually lack resolving power needed. This is a good one... pricey and kinda rare.

That's the Rollei Super-Angulon T/S lens. Once you see one, you never forget it.

Well spotted!! It is a monster .. not one of my best thought out buys

Revealed ... ignore the Kipon T/S adapter, it was the only way to get it onto my A7r through an ETR-Nikon adapter.

So there was a Rollei version of this as well? I'll start looking for one to make up my "set"

Olympus m4/3 cameras and I had almost all of them except the M1. Every time I purchased another Olympus camera I tried to convince myself that I'm the one not seeing what everyone else was seeing in those cameras. I only shoot JPG and to me, those from Oly are the worst I've ever seen. Way over saturated and too much contrast for my taste.

The irony here is that when you posted your response, I thought the same thing, substituting Bronica for Rollie. I didn't know Schneider also made them for the E/PE mount, ha-ha.
