International Rapid Rectilinear Association

[Dave Wooten]

Rapid Rectilinear....I like that name....a much more desirable name to have than say,....Plasmat....I wonder if Matt could design a Rapid Rectilinear tee shirt...

"Simple Meniscus"....is a good name for a cartoon character strip also....I d read that one, yep I'd buy that...A "Rapid Rectilinear" Tee shirt and a "Simple Meniscus" tee shirt...

 

[glennfromwy]

Yep, me too! Is there such a thing as a complex meniscus?

...and his heart's desire, Anna Stigmat, always beyond his reach and to whose realm he can only aspire.

Well Vell-oh___ stigmat oh Vell-oh____ stigmat, it's so nice to have you back where you belong__

 

[smieglitz]

Personally, I think the words "rectilinear" and "association" should never be paired.

 

[ZorkiKat]

If you guys form an RR association, do let me know. I have one which looks to be an RR but might be masquerading as an anastigmat

 

[Ole]

I think I'll wait for the International Aplanat Association - or would that be the "Internationale Aplanatverwendervereinigung"? If so, maybe the IRRA would be easier. At least the spelling is easier

 

[Jim Jones]

. . . Is there such a thing as a complex meniscus?

Perhaps not, but among APUGers there must be many meniscus complexes!

 

[Ole]

You make me feel like a rank Amatar.

 

[Wigwam Jones]

I am glad I am not the artar of that nonsense. Whether a lens is planar fancy, I listen with Raptar attention when the Radiogon is turned to the station I prefer. I'd better stop before someone goes "Ektar."

 

[rbarker]

You're setting your sights too low, Dave. It should be "Galactic" not "International".

Think about it. How many were made versus how many are still around. They had to go somewhere!

[jhavard]

Okay, so that's IRRA. I suppose the resultant images should be shared with the Truly Amazing and Totally Interesting Negatives Group?

 

[Dan Fromm]

What's next?

The Anastigmat Association? The Tessar Club? The Plasmat Group? The Biogon Bunch?

 

[medform-norm]

What's next?

The Anastigmat Association? The Tessar Club? The Plasmat Group? The Biogon Bunch?

Well, Dan, in your case it should be the Boyer Chapter - to which I hope to contribute soon as we are planning to finally try out the two Beryls that have been lying in waiting...

 

[BrianShaw]

What's next?

The Myopic Mafia??? For those who like macro work and extremely shallow DOF.

 

[Jerevan]

You're setting your sights too low, Dave. It should be "Galactic" not "International".

Why not Intergalactic Rapid Rectilinear Association - that would still be IRRA. Now, come to think of it, we're entering Vogon territory here...

 

[JPD]

The Myopic Mafia???

Old thread, but that's a good one! I'm myopic.

 

[Jersey Vic]

I want at least 2 of these...the shirts that is.

Maybe you should go see the Doktor Optics

Although I've yet to form an image with it (just got the ground-glass replaced on the 11x14), I've got a lovely vintage RR triple convertible (18",29",39") in a pneumatic shutter. I'll be using it for wet plate work on the 11x14.
