I wish we had another chance to go in this warehouse. We got in there on a fluke the other day but now it looks like someone has clued-in and shut the door.

I’m putting this up mainly to show Chris (and anyone one else who’s interested) my first not wholely successful results with the Fed5 and Jupiter11 135mm lens. This is the best of the 7 or so pictures I’ve taken so far.
There are two big hurdles using a lens that isn’t the standard 55mm lens with the Fed5.
First, I have to continue to focus with the standard rangefinding viewfinder even though it’s framing is based on a 55mm view — so accurate focusing is tough.
Second, because I can only frame the 135mm view by using an extra mounted viewfinder (turret style for 5 different lens types) that sits roughly 5-7cm above the lens, there is a large parallax shift that I’ll have to learn to account for.
I think overall it will be sort of fun in the spring and summer when ungloved hands are allowed.
