B&W Streets - Trying a Modded Steinheil for Pen F




Some time ago I modded a lens from a Paxette camera to be used on my Olympus Pen F. It's a Steinheil Cassarit 45 mm lens with a maximum aperture of f/2,8. I took a stroll around the nearest big city Örebro. Since the Pen F is a half-frame camera the lens produces photographs equal in crop to a 67 mm on a full frame camera. Here are some results.
I am very pleased with how the lens handles. It's not flimsy at all and has click-stops at the aperture settings.















It was Vespa Day or Scooter Day so I happened upon the local Vespa tinkerers and was invited to in future visit one guy's workshop to photograph.

Great Grey

Till vänster är min flitigt använda Olympus XA - en kompakt kamera med slutarautomatik men med manuell bländare och skärpeinställning. Till höger är en raritet - en XA2 i begränsad upplaga från mitten av 80-talet. / The XA2 on the right is a collector's dream. It's a limited edition auto-exposure camera with great lens and exposure.
