Hey Paul. No. As I understand, the LOMO Industar series- which I have the 300mm and 450mm, are copies of a tesser design (same as the industar-51 210mm.)
I have read not so much in different sites. These where process lenses, and also I have read somewhere that the LOMO series were a bit "higher quality and sharper", which is a bit ironic because I had the Industar 51 210mm at it was a tiny and quite heavy lens for its size.
In this particular case, the 450mm at f/9 was "quite normal" to put a word to it-really bright image, sharp photo, some bokeh, and so on.
I just took the elements and used a longer body- so I think that might have done the trick-
Here is a photo of the Industar 450mm on its regular body af its widest f/9-
I will post more lens experiments soon-
Thanks Ari! This was captured on t-max 100, iso 80, developed in t-max rs 1:9. The one thing I try to remember when shooting in heavy fog, is to meter and then expose a stop or two higher than what you think the spot meter is telling you. This was a Creo scan of the neg, this digital version has the blacks a bit more blocked up than the actual silver print, which prints quite well.
Another foggy morning image, this one from a small lake in central Florida. The fog was so dense when I launched my Gheenoe in the dark, on this lake I had never been on, it was pretty spooky. When it started to get light out, I was blown away by the beauty of this lake. This was a 5 second exposure in about 5 feet of water. I have my boat set up like a tripod, I stick anchor the front and back of the boat and then set my Gitzo Giant in the water beside my boat. I shot this with my 8x10 and a Nikkor 120 sw, which added a little vignetting which I don’t mind for this image. I was fortunate to make about 6 compositions of different scenes before the fog dissipated.
