aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 12/23/2011 02:16 am Got one in the other day, so in between flooring and plumbing I was anxious to see what this antique could do...Now mind you I> just moved and I am still shooting on wings of a prayer, as I don't really have a desk to shoot off of, one shaky tripod tried a dollar and then a coll toned penny I found on the floor...the penny is too dark but the lens shows its stuff... Let me hear what you think Report this Post to the Staff

Here's the pic with a little D-Lighting adjustment... Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff

This is greatly supporting my assertion that you don't have to spend much to get good results, though you took it to an extreme! ...Ray Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 12/24/2011 2:23 pm Ray I Had been looking for a 105MM lens or a 135MM for dollar shots, I put a bid on an ebay item, a 105MM Telesar Anastigmat 1:4.5 lens to save it to my files for review...I had read earlier on the telesar type lenses but couldn't remember much about them, but won the auction....The first thing I noticed was the image was noticeably sharper in both the center and edges, than other lenses I have been using.. My 75MM Radagon APO didn't come with the outer barrel housing the Blades, I might try to make a fixed F/stop hole and see if it helps/ differences from wide open to half open (F/8 simulation) and see what happens.... heres the same coin with different lighting though your D-lighting did a great job! overall quality of the lens?opinions...Thanks...G Report this Post to the Staff
