Oh, oh, another gorgeous camera. Why is there a knurled wheel beneath the wind lever? I am referring to the one just above the strap eyelet. How is this Topcor lens optically?
Thank you! The knurled wheel is for resetting the counter. The Topcor lens may not be a Summicron but it certainly holds its own.Oh, oh, another gorgeous camera.

What’s with the props guys?
There always seems to be a glass of whiskey or other beverage within reach, or a pair of reading glasses as in the above.
Are you trying to give off an erudite, bohemian vibe?
I have the 15" f5.6 tele, they are a big piece of glass.
This is another beauty! I have the very similar Vito BL with the same 50mm ƒ/3.5 Color-Skopar. I am astonished how well-corrected this lens is, but that's not all that surprising considering it is a post-war, unit-focussing Tessar derivative. Tripod-mounted and using a fine-grain film like Acros, this lens does amazing work. I wrote about it on 35MMC. Cheers, have fun!

There is signaling it by including whiskey and utensils for reading in your images.erudite

In regard to photography the answer to your question then is yes. Isn't that what we all try to do on a website about photography?
Only on APUG do we find this kind of stuff being done. Wild! I tip my hat!Trichrome image of my M5. Three individual black and white frames shot through Tiffen #25 Red, #58 Green, and #47 Blue filters, respectively, then combined using GIMP to create a color image.

This would be a great photo under normal circumstances but it is also extremely interesting from a technical standpoint considering the process.Trichrome image of my M5.
