'Dinge die mit "P" beginnen ... ' - das #Portragon 100mm f4 von #Spiratone. Ein $20 Einlinser(!), mit dem man selbst heute noch an einer 100MP #Fujifilm #GFX Kamera ordentlich wie mit einem #Weichzeichner fotografieren kann (siehe Bild 2).

In der heutigen Zeit der überschärften, hyperrealen Bilder mal wieder etwas mehr Weichheit wagen.

Maybe we should think about a sister for the #ShittyCameraChallenge - the #ShittyLensChallenge where someone uses lenses on high-quality cameras that are considered to be of poor quality and cost a maximum of two figures - like this #Spiratone #Portragon 100/4 on a #Fujifilm #GFX100S ...

A picture of the lens with the Spiratone branded curved lens cap.
And here it is advertised in the late 60s. Looks sketchy, but these were fine lenses made by Kenko. They also were sold under Kenko and Soligor branding, probably more.
The lens used is a 180 degree .15x fish eye lens made by Spiratone.
Continuing on unusual/uncommon lenses, the good old "fish-eye" lens. There are two kinds. The first kind, the circular fish eye is what most people think of. The image covers a circle inside the image sensor, getting light from 180 degrees in all the axes.
Here is an example of that where I took a picture using such a lens.

@erik @pasqualeberesti and in the process got to play with all kinds of filters (variable multiple colors, kaleidoscopic etc) and many brands.
In recent years, buying new filters i’ve mostly stuck to Tamron, Fujifilm, B+W (citylight) and Hoya.

You'd think that adding an adapter and a teleconverter to a vintage M42 ("universal thread mount", as found on #Pentax, #Yashica, #Fujica etc) would make for a combo that is too heavy and too long for normal use. It really depends on the lens you combine it with.
Here it is combined with a #Spiratone #reflex #Mirror #Lens, 300mm f5.6. The whole thing is smaller than my #Fujifilm 50-230, and about the same weight but almost twice the reach.

Longer description:
Taken with the #Spiratone Sharpshooter 400mm preset aperture lens. The photograph is not cropped or post-processed. It was taken from the peak of our rooftop to get an unobstructed view of the sky.
It features a Spiratone X2 T-mount teleconverter and a JCPenney Auto 2x K-mount #Teleconverter for a total focal length of 1600mm which is roughly equivalent to 2400mm in 35mm.
The #camera was in wireless mode with mirror lock-up enabled to minimize vibration. As the #moon rose in the sky, I'd adjust the forward #tripod leg rather than trying to adjust the ball head.
