On this day three years ago (day 1162): Zeiss Jena lens work This is another old lens story – in this case a Zeiss Jena lens from 1945 in an aircraft alloy Leica screw mount version – quite rare actually. A lovely performer, particularly given its age.

BROOKLYN NEW YORK – I took the L line most of the way to its end in Brooklyn today to visit a warehouse to coordinate the pickup of a table that we had shipped from France during our trip in June. The light wa generally very good so I got a fair number of decent images, typified by those below. All shot with my Leica Monochrom and 1958 Dual Range Summicron lens.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m feeling kind of architectural today. I’m shooting with a Dual Range Summicron lens from the late 50s or early 60s. It provides marvelous renderings. Both images are six frames stitched.
