UVP thanks for your advice

I am amazed at the features of this simple old cheap lens.
it is a Cooke triplet that focuses at almost the same distance with both UV and IR
the engraving is good, it is small beautiful and light.

Thanks

Toni

Looks good Toni
Is that vignetting on full frame ?

Colin ... I have not calculated, when it is fully open it has a "standard" vignetting of approximately one aperture in the corners, from f: 5.6 is small.

the UV photos have the small filter of the Nemo flashlight and a piece of the broken BG18;

they do not cover the entire first lens, therefore a lot of vignette wide open.

@photoniexcellent results. Thanks for the heads up on this lens. The dock with UV haze is my favorite.

 

Thanks for sharing,

That lens has some great results! How's the fishing there when the waters not so choppy?

Looks like you got a good copy of the Meritar 50/2.9.

 

I like the R72 photos. That is one of my favorite IR-pass filters.

Photoni, Those are great. I am partial to the IR shots, the second photo is my favorite.

I like the first photo best. Love the dark tree limbs.
