While working at a friend’s home painting, I brought a couple of cameras and lenses to play around with.

Every once in a while, I like to dig out my old Westrocolor 50/1.9. There are usually long periods of time and lenses inbetween, enough that I forget how the lens renders the backgrounds. I am always pleasantly surprised. I acquired this lens in an Exakta lot a few years ago. I have never had any of the other Isco’s in the 50mm range, and have always wondered if the optical schemes are the same or not.

I took this lens, a Vivitar MC 55/2.8 macro in M42 to the pool game just to play with it. This lens was given to me as a gift, and I have used it the most of the few macro lenses that I have. I believe that this is a 1:1 macro lens.
...and one extra shot from cleaning on saturday.
The snowflake i have posted here before, but is one that i shot with this lens.
...just a fun all around lens

Up for your consideration is a D7000 in a well kept condition. It has 8033 actuations and everything functions as it should. The body is in very well kept condition and clean.
Turns out that i have more than enough cameras to keep me occupied, and thought to offer this one up with a couple of lenses. The camera comes with an original EN-EL 15 battery, wall charger, Nikon strap and a 32gb card.
Nikkor AI-s 35/1.4
Nikkor AI 18/4
Both lenses are in excellent condition. The 18mm comes with its original 82mm aluminum
Front cap and HN-15 lens hood and rear cap.
The 35mm comes with an MC UV front filter and rear cap. I bought this in used new condition, and the previous owner removed the rubber focus ring. I searched in vain to find a replacement ring and have since become comfortable without it...just a cosmetic after all. The lens has the SIC coating and renders images very well.
Both lenses are free of scratches, fungus or haze.
If you have questions or would like other pictures, please let me know. I will be happy to help.
Asking $800 for the lot.
I will package the lot carefully to insure that it arrives safely.
Thanks for viewing.

I was browsing thru facebooks "photography with classic lenses" group, and one gentlemen posted pictures using a Zenitar 50/1.7. This got me curious if Zenitars had other focal lengths. Of course one of the first hits that comes up on a search is 'wikipedia'.
Its a general question and i clik'd on the link.
Again, i was met with the familiar red banner begging for money. They are as bad as the post office!

...that you catch the right expressions.
The conversation between these two was actually quite pleasant, but i just happened to snap at the right moment. What looks, eh?

Wednesday is our mid week gathering for pool, and i decided to hook up the Rokinon 8/3.5 Nikon mount to my olympus em-1.
There were only 3 of us playing today, and being as i was sitting out the round, and the sun was setting....gave me ample time to shoot pics

Found a modern lens in a box this evening...i say 'modern' compared to many of my other lenses;
this is the SMC Pentax-F 50/1.7. It was on an old ME Super that i have. Turns out that even though this lens looks very modern (to me), it is 30-35 years old.. Thought that i would give it a spin around the block.
This lens has colorful coating on the glass, but a little different than the M series, whose coating is very blue.
