Peco Jr 65 F8 SA CF65F8 Magnifying Swiveling Hood by Nokton48, on Flickr
This is my Plaubel Peco Junior with Baggy Bellows 65mm F8 Super Angulon. According to my Plaubel literature, the Peco Junior fully utilizes the full range of movements possible with the 65mm F8. This will become one of my main lenses for this camera I am thinking. Shown with Schneider 65mm F8 SA Center Filter, and Minolta SRT Cable Release. Pretty wide small with extreme movements possible. Nice. The Magnifying Hood swivels left and right for brightest viewing and works a charm with this lens. Can easily see the entire screen and focus, as well as movements set visually
Peco Jr 65 F8 SA CF65F8 Sony NexC3 Back by Nokton48, on Flickr
Not real sharp but still successful in some ways. Modeling lights only, Tim Kelly Broncolor lighting test. Peco Jr Body Baggy Bellows, bought a new to me 65mmF8 chrome Super Angulon from Roberts for $189 not bad Sony NexC3 Back, Schneider "Center Filter For 65mm F8*" attached. Not bad as a way to test lighting before commiting expensive film. The Peco Junior was designed (according to Plaubel) to be able to fully utilize the 65mm SA. It is a great lens and an olde favorite of mine. Mounted on this camera system it will certainly be a main lens to use. Also in the wings I have a mint 65mm F6.8 chrome Schneider Angulon, it will be interesting to see the differences, the Angulon is a Dagor derivative, and also looks great through the Peco Junior

Nice shots Peter. A place steeped in history. Is it open for tours?Originally Posted by Peter De Smidt
Thanks! Yes, but you have to sign up in advance. That day there weren't any openings. We'll do the tour sometime soon. Edwin Hubble did his graduate study there. Einstein visited in 1921.

A little Instax film print from tonight. Shot a number of 4x5 sheets as well but can't develop them until late tomorrow.
Lomo Diana Instant Square, 55mm wide angle, f/19 setting, 60-second exposure.
Guard your nuts!

Someone on Facebook had just shot a picture of the full Moon with Mars nearby. I rushed outside and had a great view of the Moon. Attached the Minolta AF 500 mirror lens to my Sony A850. Had not used it in a while and it did not work out too well because I have been using my new to me Sony A99II. So I switched the AF 500 to the A99II using manual focus (hand held) and manual exposure at Sunny-16
Moon and an invisible Mars
i.e. 1/2000 @ F/8 at ISO 400. The uncroped image is included above. It was very hard to hold and focus the lens. The AF 500 will go past infinity so I was backing off a bit and my old eyes (78) are not as good as they used to be. So the image suffers from camera shake and slightly out of focus image. But haste did make a reasonable image.

Yesterday I put these four lenses together, had been using them on Plaubel Makiflexes. Have four shutters from Fuji WS 210 and WS 270 lenses; these perfectly fit the GX680 front and rear cells. Shown from left front: the 65mm F5.6 GX680, front right 100mm G5.6 GX680. Back left the 125mm F3.2 (hot glass!) and back right, the 125mm F5.6. These lenses are heavy, metal Peco Jr boards are solid and they balance well on my two Peco Junior cameras. These lenses are 90's modern uber sharp, and have big image circles, a perfect choice to go on these 6x9cm view cameras. I still have five more GX680 lenses to convert to Peco Junior, I need some more metal PJ lens boards, and some more Seiko shutters. I do like the olde glass from the 60's, but it is great to have modern glass as a choice. This project will continue as I find what I need to finish it.
