Would love to see the lens. I love its character.


Not a whole lot to it--two pieces of cemented glass, brass tube, rotary stop. It's an achromatic doublet, the very first lens type used for photography. They were still being sold as the "kit" lens for amateur camera kits in early 1900. Rotary stops were developed in the late 1870s/early 1880s and replaced Waterhouse stops on smaller lenses. A rotary stop is a thin brass disc with about five different sized holes in it. Each hole lets in half as much light as the one before it. They are perfectly round too! I also used an 1870s Petzval on the D800E at the Rosholt, SD threshing show (Rosholt Area Threshing Association.) That lens has a slot for Waterhouse stops. Below shot is from a Petzval. I have four small brass lenses from the 19th C. put into Nikon F mount. ranging from 1851 to 1894.

That's really cool. I like how old glass renders. I really don't like the sterility of modern glass. Sure its sharp, well corrected, and beautifully rendered bokeh, but has no class.

Rendering also gains character with cat hair on the front element, but you need the right kind of cat.

Years ago, I built a push/pull EL84 tube amp to go with my Custom Tannoy Monitor Gold's...



I only built a tube pre-amp, and then another, and on the third one I pulled all the stops, but eventually abandoned the project because I figured out how to run my system without any pre-amp altogether (computer - optical USB to high output DAC, driving power amps directly), which was so dramatically better than anything the tube amps could do, it was the end of my stereo upgrade quest.

And a few years later I got tired of the whole thing. Amps and speakers for sale now, DIY amps are on the shelf, as I would not want anyone to deal with the problems such custom gear will bring with it (like cracking stepped attenuator, calibrated for my specific amps).

Anyway, I just sold some left over capacitors of that tube preamp project for over $500... and spent it on photo gear or Mini Cooper parts immediately

My now unused power amps (one of the few non-DIY parts in my system), all images with the Rokinon 85mm f/1.4. Power cords are DIY. All this is boxed up and ready to be sold if I ever get around to list this on Craigslist or ebay or Audiogon, etc.

Hey, I might be interested in that DIY stuff. With the exception of my turntable and phono preamp, everything else I built myself. If you are interested in letting go of it, PM me. (Really...)

Very nice!
What stacking software do you use?

I wish Cosina would release an SL II version of this lens...

Thanks Darrin.

I used Zerene Stacker Pro for this one.

You and I wish for the same thing!

With the new rumor that there will not be a Df2 (http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php/topic,6504.msg104123.html#msg104123), even taken with the usual grain of salt, I am really glad I did not wait any longer and bought a new Df early this year, while they were still in stock at a local store...

I was out in our yard yesterday taking some pictures of my wife's beautiful flowers. I found these to be some of the more unique ones and are aptly named, the "Fireball" Dahlia. Taken with my Nikon Df/Zeiss APO 135f2 combo...

It's epic.

You really have to spend a month there to do it justice, not a couple of days.

It is located between Mammoth and Yosemite. The John Muir Trail alone is 160 miles. This trail (the Devil's Postpile/Rainbow Falls) was just a 2-3 mile subset of this.

Just incredible country. Makes you want to quit your job, build a log cabin, and live like the wild west folks lived ... only with solar power ... so you could share your photos
