Autumn thistle
by davidwozhere
Taken with one of my remounted lenses from the 1930s. This is a Schneider Kreuznach f:3.5 75mm on a Pentax K5. This was taken around f5.6 - 6.3. It is an uncoated lens but is still crisp where it is wanted and displays a lovely OOF bokeh. (ignore the EXIF focal length - I forgot to reset it!).

Agree with the above.
Rich and warm fluffy thistle, yet still retains it's spiked detail.
Great job

Thank you for your comments. Giulio - you can still find damaged or otherwise useless folding bellows cameras being sold cheaply. This particular one was a wreck and the shutter is jammed (wide open, fortunately). The iris is usable and the glass is good. The next problem is converting the lens assembly to an M42 mount so you can use it on a DSLR.
