Portrait of an Artisan

Mr. Yamaguchi had "God Hand" in making adapters for lens mount, from

retaining rings for barrel lens to Leica-Contax adapter coupled with

rangefinder (even for Biogon 21/4.5, you can believe? ), but retired

several years ago. Really it's a regret.

Nice portrait but how come the moire effect in the middle?

Sorry, Milo. I replaced it with a better one. It is not always easy to keep large format films completely flat on the scanner. Moire appears quite often but there is no other way but to scan again and pray. (^-^) Thank you for comment.

Another outstanding informal portrait. One of your best, I think. And where do you find all those wonderful lenses?

Thank you, Jim. I am getting these lenses mainly from aucton. My theory is simple: the cheaper the better, because the function of old lens is not so different by brand. The best and the cheapest way is to borrow it from somebody. (^-^)
