The Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Orestegor 200mm f/4 Zebra dates from the 1960s. Manual, of course. Heavy too - 2.15 kg. Therefore, either a fast shutter speed or a tripod is necessary. {I went for 1/500th and a high ISO). There are 15 aperture blades, and the bokeh wide open at f/4 is highly regarded. The focus throw is very long, especially so when close to your subject. You can be fiddling with the focus ring for a long time trying to get it just right. I should have put it on a tripod; it would have been a better experience. I didn't pay much for it, which is just as well given the frequency I use it. But in a studio and mounted on a tripod, I think it could produce some very attractive portraits. Camera: Fujifilm X-E1.

I walk around the house. Things have changed slightly in this room. Some clothing is airing on clothes hangers suspended from a bookshelf. There is not much light but it is enough if a fast lens is used in combination with an elevated ISO. The colours are nice. The close-up effect of a standard lens on a cropped sensor is slightly enigmatic. The folds create shadows; the buttons reflect activity. This is a little slice of domesticity. Photographed with a Canon EOS 40D + Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens via an M42 adapter.
