Went for a walk, took some pictures

Walked around downtown. Took some pictures with a ridiculous 500mm lens.

  • These are so good! Found this via your post on IG. From your IG post it sounds like this was shot with a Hartblei conversion of a Kiev88, with a Pentacon Prakticar 500mm lens. Do I have that right? I love this!

    • Actually I do have a Kiev88 (not a Hartblei conversion) but this was shot on my junky old Canon 7D. It’s the lens that’s made by Hartblei:

      Hartblei 500mm

      Would love to try that Pentacon though, those things are beastly.

  • Sincerely: beautiful, inspiring work with that crazy lens. Chapeau. I have something similar in a Nikkor 500 and found my own way with it with a doubler on a half-frame digital body. Thank you. [I came upon your site by radio link on Streamitter — howdy neighbor!]

    • Thank you! And wow Nikkor 500… now that’s a lens I’d love to play with.
