        The adapter I made for the Enna Werk Munchen Tele-Lithagon Lens produced to only fit on a 1950’sArgus C-4 Range Finder put on a Argus C-four American made piece of glass from the same vintage and application.
        The Cintar 50m f2.8 lens was a unexpected gem.

        Color reproduction and sharpness for a 70 year old lens was awesome.

        There was a touch of Chromatic Aberration in a strongly back lit situation, But easily corrected, and producing some nice bokeh.

        And with the capacity for a rather short focal distance a nice chance for close ups.

              I think they are upgrading the SSL this week, I remember a email about that last week.

                  Thanks Diane, I’m going to do a page on Adobe Portfolio just on photos taken with this lens , I spent a wonderfully clouded last evening snapping photos with it. Its become a new favorite.

                      I didn’t know about Adobe Portfolio, ( I’ve Googled it now), so let me know when you’ve done it, I’d love to see what else you’ve done with the lens.

                          This is the link to my current Portfolio My Portfolio I will drop a update as I get the rest of the photos done. If you have a Photoshop photography plan it comes with the plan as well as linking to behance which is a sharing / comment site like flikr but a step up. Its way more secure then flikr and you can individualize the set up to your liking.
