I am now in awe of you. You shoot birds in flight with big, heavy glass. And a 
lot of the fifty something folk here complain that anything heftier than a 
mirrorless with a 50mm lens is just such a burden! You go, Jack!

Re: PESO: Ted, White and Blue

[Jack Davis]

Thanks, Paul! I actually feel lucky to
have reached this age and not feel
the weight of it. 
My Dr recently told me that he'd not
guess me a day over 68.
I thanked him and gave him the
credit.

That's gorgeous, Jostein.


Thanks Bruce!


The lens appears (to me anyway) to have considerable spherical
aberration, like a soft focus portrait lens. I wonder if that was
intentional?


It has a ton of aberration. X-rays have so short wavelengths they are 
difficult do bend at all, so any lens designed to do that will bend 
visible wavelengths overmuch. So intentional by the makers of the lens, 
but I have to just take what comes with the package.

Yes, that's a 65mm f/1.0. :-) It's an optic made for x-ray machines.

Turned out, it had a M42x1.0 thread on one side, which means it fits

I didn't know that any Xray machines have glass lenses; I know that
medical Xray machines use apertures and collimators to direct the
beam.


I think this lens is for the receiving end of the x-rays, before they 
hit the film.



An almost-existential question: If there's no sharp focus, can there be bokeh?


It's like wine. To begin with, you appreciate its bouquet. After a 
bottle or two, you appreciate the world's general bokeh. There's no need 
for any part of your mind to be particularly focused. :-)

Pleasing shape and colors.  With that lens you could make even members 
of the pdml look good.


No way I'd use it for a selfie, mate. But thanks. I guess. :-)

LOL! Yep.


Amazing colour and as you say bokeh.


Colours behave differently with this lens. Actually I had to reduce 
saturation after adjusting contrast.

That's gorgeous, Jostein.

The lens appears (to me anyway) to have considerable spherical
aberration, like a soft focus portrait lens. I wonder if that was
intentional?

Re: PESO: Ted, White and Blue

[Daniel J. Matyola]

It was certainly larger than the normal teardrop shaped balloons used for
traveling across the surface or ascending to altitude, but some of the
other "fancy" balloons, like the Barn, are about the size of the flag.

The owner/operator of the flag balloon dreamed of a balloon of the nature
decades ago.  In the aftermath of 9/11, however, it became feasible to
raise the $150,000 needed to complete the design and construct it.

BTW, Paul, why is your email address "pentax1941"?  You certainly can't be
that old.
