So what's this, Klaus?
Your quartz 80mm lens? It's so sharp! I'm impressed with the colors and the contrast too!
Magnificent spring you have!

Yes we have wonderful springs here where I live. A Leitz Focotar enlarger lens was used ;-)

This one is simple amazing? So it has a 39mm mount. Hmm! Could you have gotten this with a 50mm or 100 mm Canon or Nikon Macro lens/
What's unique about these lenses apart from being made by Leica.

Nope Asher, this was a very different lens, actually a projection lens w/o iris ;-)

A Petzval? What was it!!!!!??? How did you attach it to your camera?
The effect is just perfect focus and peripheral dreams!

Why would a projection lens be necessarily a Petzval? Admittedly there are many, but the better ones are not,
but modified Double-Gauss designs. Even Sonnars exist, or their predecessors, the Ernostar. Leitz had an odd duck,
a Hektor even.
I have quite a few and made me a modular focusing mount to attach to my camera.
BTW. my 1st entry here was made using a Zeiss Jena f1.9 141mm projection lens.

Here a Zeiss Ikon Ernostar 1.8 85mm
Very strong CA, soft + glow, but nice Sonnar like bokeh (no wonder, it's it s predecessor...)
