Impossible to use, Impossible to focus 1921 large format Berthiot Flor N°5 Serie IC 200mm F4.5. Berthiot was a major French lens maker, however his large format lenses remain poorly known. Can't get good focus on this long tube and low res optics, but I like the imperfections. #photography #art - ThreadSky

Yes it does have a nice feel

I thought it would make folks laugh to see what I have to do to use this lens on my cameras!

Forgive me if this is a ridiculous or naïve question, but I am fairly new at this and perhaps, if space allows, you wouldn’t mind describing what is going on there?

I was waiting till I got through your work, but I wanted to let you know how much I loved it. Thank you for sharing it with all of us🙏

I am most happy to give whatever advice I can give, I do photography just for fun.

Hi I cant find which image your question relates to. I post so many images and you have obviously been looking at quite a few of my early stuff here. I use a Full Spectrum Camera which is quite expensive but very old, usually hand built lenses from before the war.

It was the post with your colorful cannon with all the extensions and lenses and filters etc. I was just wondering what it all was and a little more about it. I am new at this and learning. Thank you 🙏

She painted the camera with lego bricks, I find it easier to take pics of people with it as it makes folks laugh and makes them come over and chat to me in the streets rather than feel threatened by all my cameras.

That is a very good interesting creative idea. You are just full of good ideas and information. Thank you. 😀🙏

I have a few cameras and hundreds of lenses as I used to teach Photography. Some of the lenses are listed on my website, and into a photography, it is all free I am not selling anything there. The colourful canon is an R5, I had it customised by the partner who is a painter. https://u42.co is the website
