"Sun", "Albinar", "Itorex" - what do these zoom lenses have in common? They're dirt cheap (approximately 10-20 €) and work on a #Fujifilm 100MP sensor ... 
Stay tuned for more surprises in the #shittylenschallenge. The first test of these (and Tamron) were good, now it's off to use them on shoots.
When you're a member of the #CrappyCommieCameraParty and the #shittylenschallenge and love the swirl it doesn't have to be a Helios. Just have a look at projection lenses like this #CZJ #Kipronar 140/1.9 ...

When you love the #CrappyCommieCameraParty and the #shittylenschallenge then you have to stop for the Tair 11A 135/2.8 as well. Lot's of character outdoors but it makes also a good impression in the studio.

If you love swirl, then (most) projection lenses are right up your alley. And of course the #CrappyCommieCameraParty and the #shittylenschallenge can deliver here as well since there are more than Helios comrades to the party.

Like with any #CCCP lens you have to have some luck. But if you do, you get a gorgeous #vintagelens, very worthy of the #CrappyCommieCameraParty and the #shittylenschallenge like this MC Jupiter 37A 135/3.5

Looking for a nice but cheapish #vintagelens that would fit to the #CrappyCommieCameraParty then have a look at the Industar 61 52/2.8. It's a better / sharper alternative to the Industar 26M and it even works on a #Fujifilm GFX100S.

4 years old, but more relevant than ever and also one of the reasons why I'm a fan of using a #vintagelens on modern cameras and adapted the #shittycamerachallenge into the #shittylenschallenge for me. Specs and MTF charts doesn‘t make your #portrait better. Character makes it better …

The badly named OKP 1-100-1 100/1.8 #projectionlens is also a very good option for the #CrappyCommieCameraParty as it renders images really beautifully. It shows the magic of the #shittylenschallenge as well ...

PSA: Don't overpay for a #vintagelens. There are so many alternatives out there for a fraction of the price. Getting tired of the #Helios prices, because Hollywood found them? A Pentacon Prakticar 50/2,4, worthy of #shittylenschallenge and #CrappyCommieCameraParty swirls as well - for just 25€ ... (and it also works on modern 100 MP sensors as shown)

Even though the lens mentioned yesterday is a projection lens, it is also very usable as a studio lens ...

The #CrappyCommieCameraParty is a good opportunity to show that the Commies made also great lenses, even if some designs are ... well, "borrowed". Like this 35KP 120/2.8, which looks from the result like a Carl #Zeiss #Kipronar clone.
As the leader of the #CrappyCommieCameraParty stipulated, Commie lenses alone already qualify - which is great since I have my own personal #shittylenschallenge where I adapt cheap but great vintage lenses onto my #Fujifilm GFX, like this Kiev Vega 28b.
#CCCP is the current theme of the #shittycamerachallenge which seems to be active on Bluesky only nowadays, even though it started here on Mastodon as well ...

There is also the possibility to read my #blog about #photography with #softfocus lenses and filters in english thanks to the Google translator

Ich mag #Softfocus #Objektive so gerne, dass ich meinen #Fotoblog Artikel gleich um 3 weitere Linsen ergänzt habe - u.a. mit einem raren #Weichzeichner Tele-Zoom.
Jetzt wird es erstmal Zeit, dass ich mit manchen Linsen endlich mal wieder mehr angewandte Bildbeispiele fotografiert bekomme ... :-D

There are many myths out there about the risk of #radioactive lenses. But they are all unfounded. They‘re perfectly safe, which was corroborated by a professor of Kiel University. This is the Google translated link.
