Gah!!! I loved it so much as well!!! I love you!!! I love the woooorrllldddd!!!!

Who would have thought old lenses can pull something like this off?! And my little Samsung doesn't even have a viewfinder, so it's nearly flying blind there, since the screen quality is not quite distinctive!

Totally worth while experiment!!!

They built those lenses to last for all time!! And you are certainly getting your money's worth!

Learning how to clean them, apparently some with brownish tint are radioactive!
 
So far, I got two such beasts, but they're not necessarily toxic ... Got to find a Geiger!

NO WAY! PAID WAY TOO MUCH FOR THEM! (Like $12 a piece! ) ... You can try to pry my Vivitar (Kino, two ring edition) 70-150mm - with matched multiplier lens - from my cold dead hands ... (Sincerely hope it's not a hottie ...!!!!)

You should see what a beast Soligor 300mm is!  www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fs_2q… Weighs nearly a kilo, about 900 grams or 30 or so ounces - try walking around with this baby! But, with a bit of practice, think it will be worth it ...  After rain

Besides, nobody died yet for taking awesome photos ... Did you know that watches too are radioactive?!  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_d… Seriously, what's next, cat food??!!!
