Marcel, I really like the first one and think it needs a nice frame and mat.

Thanks Jeff. I'm slowly starting to get something together for printing in the near future.

Didn't have much time to shoot and the weather did not want to cooperate with my plans so I have to submit my "Last letter" photo of today. It was shot today, so...

I wonder if many of you will be able to recognize this lens?

According to the markings, ... It's a Marcel Carey 2013

No cigar Jeff. I can't even give you guys a hint except to look at it again, look at the info that is there...

All I can say is that the lens is an oldie but goodie. The interesting part is that shutter speeds are on the lens, thus an in-lens shutter. Hmmmm.... I know I've seen those before but cannot place it.

The f stops are crazy and the shutter speeds are old and slow. I was thinking some kind of enlarger lens but I really don't know what is even...lol

My 105/2.5 stops down to 32!

It's definitely not an enlarger lens because an enlarger lens does not need a shutter. I was thinking that it was one of those older, 120/620 format camera lenses. Note the flash sync connection on the lens with the flash settings: VXM. The lens could sync w/ flash bulbs!

Is it an old Speed Graphix lens?

You are getting warmer.

I'll give the answer later tonight. Keep trying.

Don't you own a Hasselblad Marcel?

Like a 501C or something? Is that lens a sonnar formula? ?

 

[piperbarb]

Is it a Rodenstock lens?

 

[piperbarb]

Vintage Voigtlander 35mm film camera from the 1950s?

Bingo Jeff!

The lens is a Zeiss Sonnar 250mm for the Hasselblad 500 series.

That is one mean bigger format portrait lens I think!

Tell me you have a roll to work with sir?

Why didn't they change the digital format size and go big instead of doing mega pixels in 24X36?

 

[piperbarb]

Wow! The idea of a Zeiss lens did pass through my mind. Marcel, thanks for the fun post.
