Carl Zeiss Prokinar 80/1,6

Let pictures speak...

Playing with flare & OOF

OOF or out of focus area or for some people call it bokeh or boke combined with original light flare from the lens. The lens is SK Xenon 50/1,9

Bell & Howell 3'/f2 Incra-Lite

It's appearance remind me of Taylor Hobson 16mm projector series. I thought it's TTH lens. But it turned out it's made in USA.
16mm projector lenses usually have same character, most of them have swirly OOF and sharp at center only. However, there's exception that some of them can make sharp image at edges, well of course not as sharp as at center. My A Seibert Wetzlar 75/1,6 is one of them. I was surprised to know that this lens is one of the few one.
here's edge sharpness sample

Jupiter 5cm/1,5 optic block

I got optic block of this lens few years ago, I think it's from LTM mount, it could not be Kiev/contax mount, as my Helios 53/1,8 almost as big as this optical block.

It's been sleep for long time as I like to use projector lenses more.

Here's some images taken minutes ago. all wide open.

Specto 1,5 inch/f1,9 Projector lens

I found this little lens on an antique store. It's body remind me of my Dalmeyer 1,5 inch.
I never know this "Specto" brand before. So I just bought it.
Then searching in google...found this site quote from that site

The lens, captured with Meopta 701,4

The machine was supplied with a 1.5 inch (35mm) focal length Dallmeyer lens of around f1.9 aperture in a 25mm mount...

 tadaa..it's Dallmeyer in disguise.I found on ebay seller who selling Specto projector, he said his item fitted with taylor Hobson 1,5 inch/f1,9 lens. Could it be TTH lens? I doubt about it. As TTH 16mm lens has smaller coverage. even 2 inch supertal TTH has strong vignette on mirrorless APSC cam.The results are similar to Dalmeyer 1,5 which is very unique. Here it is...4 images shot with NEX5

And  with EPM1 below

This one was shot with dalmeyer 1,5", see how similar to Specto

Carl Zeiss Prokinar 105/1,9
