1st shots with my 85mm Petzval

[unpopular]

I can't get over how bloody expensive they are. As far as compound lenses go, it doesn't get much simpler.

I think i'll wait for someone in china to get on board this one and sell them for like $12.99

I know .... soo much money for a crap lens.....but I'm taking pics and learning different things that could not be learnt using my "real"lenses and I am loving it.
hahaha and isn't that the whole purpose of using a camera?
To enjoy oneself ...

Crap lenses are fun, don't get me wrong.

Chris- did you get the brass one, like the one B&H is offering?

yes,it would have cost an extra 100 for the black one

@binga63, the more I see you post from this lens, the more I fall in love. It is so very "Alice in wonderland."

Curiosity makes me wonder, what would a shot using the Brenizer method look like? Any idea?

Good shots. I enjoy them. Keep posting!

I haven't had that many chances to get out (midway into a home renovation) but have had similar thoughts, will have a chance to test the brenizer method this coming sunday....sneaking out for a shoot

Ah, home projects. *sigh* I'm thinking ours will never end. We found out yesterday we need to replace 1200 square feet of decking, support beams included. Don't ask me how many other projects are only 3/4's completed. I hope your renovations are going more smoothly than ours seem to be.

Anyways,

please tag me if you post your results when you get a chance to test it. I would hate to miss it!

Brenzier on a tilt-a-whirl??? I never even thought of doing that.... Swirlies in all directions!

Time to dust off my camera and mount the Fujian.

:giggle: I hadn't really considered photoshops reaction.

Not quite what I was expecting, but still a very nice shot!

Thank you ....I had to remask to get it to work...the screaming image I thought that I would use the Petzval lens....turned out better (at least I think so) than I thought it would

I think it works incredibly well with that shot.

This lens has definitely made it to the list of " I WILL own this, someday!"
There is definitely a bit of magic contained in that glass.
