The first image is from a mixed sarr mini bog, so don't really know...
Second image is either S. Leah Wilkerson or S. Adrian Slack, I have both species in 5 gallon buckets sitting nest to each other...
Their labels are buried by the moss, but I think its LW
A very nice lens IMHO,
No post processing other then a bump on brightness (camera was set on -1/3), crop on one, and resizing.
Some rumors surround the Yaz ML series of lenses
Yashica ML 50mm f/1.7 can be found on Ebay for 50ish.. at least two variants exist, so do your homework.
Supposedly, there is a big difference in performance.
I picked up a Vivivtar Series 1 1st generation quite a while ago for a good deal, think it was around 30 bucks. I stuffed it in the camera bag and it just kinda sat there. For Christmas I received an Amazon gift card, so I decided to finally get an adapter since my kit lens has been buggy. Let me tell you, I am very excited I did. I haven't had so much fun taking pics in quite a while. I got it this afternoon, so here are a couple of pics from me just messing around. All the photos are completely unedited/uncropped. Taken with a Canon Rebal XT
Tiny, near illegible paragraph on the back of a Canadian $10 bill:
My pitiful lil Cpehalotus. The smaller pitcher is around 3mm:
I got to set up some light this evening and took some pics of U. sandersonii "Blue":
The series 1, gen1 is an amazing lens.... I think I read somewhere to manufacture that lens today, it would have to sell for like 1500USD
Story goes Vivitar lost money on each one of the gen 1's they sold, but were eager to get market share at the time.
Outstanding find and pics Monkey, enjoy the classic glass!!
hmmm pretty sure I have a pdf of the manual somewhere, and maybe the factory service manual.... Ill dig around and see
