Ducati. This image highlights the Zeiss Tessar's remarkably short closest focusing distance (0.5m)and the beautiful out of focus due to the near perfectly round iris of the lens.

Classic Camera Images

Here I display some photos taken with a variety of pre-1960's cameras dating back to as early as 1932 - such as Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta, Voigtlander and Leica cameras - 135 and medium formats.

Many lenses made back then are capable of producing beautiful and high optical quality results - some totally amaze me with their own very "special" attributes.

Classic camera photos possess a subtle characteristic so often lacking in high technology images made with some contemporary camera systems today.
