Thanks Aram,
I shot some more stuff with the Cassarit Saturday afternoon - nothing worth keeping - but if I need some nice spooky, foggy pictures, I now know which lens to use. It even stays like that when it's stopped right down. Very probably either the cementing between the elements has gone off or some kind of fungus. The funny thing is though, looking through the lens against the light everything looks as clear as a bell. 

Cheers
Douglas

I've just been playing around with Canon LTM lenses on Novoflex bellows
on my Canon 20D and captured this splash of colour in the garden.

In contrast, this one is a rather more restful shot of a Wisteria flower
taken last week with a very old Steinheil Cassarit: The milky blur was
not intentional, the lens seems to capture it like this:

For the technically minded, it's a set up with plenty of adapters: LTM
to M42 on the lens / M42 to CY from the lens to the bellows / CY to EOS
from the bellows to the camera.

C+C more than welcome.

Wishing you all a nice long weekend. All the best from a gloriously
sunny Hannover
Douglas
