WARREN CONNECTICUT – It’s the end of the apple season here. Shot with a 5 cm Leitz Elmar from the early 1950s. This lens renders exactly as I had hoped it would, but the ergonomics are not even so-so; my keeper percentage is much lower than the modern glass that I’ve been using for a long time now.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I decided to spend a week or so shooting old lenses on my Leica Monochrom. Today I’m working with a 5cm Carl Zeiss Jena Sonar from 1945, judging from its serial number. This is an odd lens indeed. There was very limited Zeiss production in 1945, and the Soviets were in the process of dismantling the Zeiss Jena facility and moving it to Kiev as part of the war reparations program. The lens cell is in a aircraft alloy focusing mount for a Leica screw mount camera. There is no depth of field scale. It looks like a one-off. The lens is coated (the newest technology then) and a perfect condition. The focusing cam works perfectly with the modern digital body.
The early sonar rendering is lovely.
