MAMIYA TLR

I mostly use my black, blue-dotted 80mm on my C220 - especially for recent portraits, because I can get a bit of the surroundings in the frame. It is just magnificent, also wide open.

Can't wait to see it! I could humbly offer that create minds think alike, but it is probably a tempting shot for many photographers.

I have those in my front yard and they blossomed just last year -- those stalks are the flower, and come out end to end with tiny blooms that open over the course of two months, walking from one end to the other.

I took a crap ton of shots of them, the arches are just neat shapes to look at in a frame. They're awesome up close, too, as I was taking macros of the bees pollinating and ladybugs, because in macro they look like an alien landscape.

Alas, this is an analog forum and I don't have any on film online or I'd share, too.


Edit: Wait -- found one. They're not the subject, but they've definitely been a background in lots of others:

i also think the 180 is a better complement, 135 is a good portrait lens but less useful for landscape
