C.P. Goerz, Berlin. From 1915-20. A SYNTOR F6.8/130mm on a Goerz Tenax is The Goerz lenses are legendary for a reason. Almost unbelievable how vivid and harmonious the rendering is for a lens more than a 100 years old, & it comes with a bag of built-in Inspiration.

The TLR Camera "Reflecta 1930" from Kamerawerk Tharandt, was equipped with a Brillantar 7,5cm/3.5. This lens shows why it is called "painting with light".

When it is about Softness, imaginative Sharpness & Atmosphere rather than Contrast, Details & Clarity, the Noristar 10 cm / F3.5 from a 1942 Projector may come in handy. It is more a brush than a lens. But isn't it all painting with light? ...😊

A Novar Anastigmat 10,5/6.3 is the Coming from a Zeiss Ikonta 520. A massively popular Camera back in the 1930s. It's more an Allrounder than a Specialist but it will not disappoint. Well, maybe in Sports/Wildlife and Architecture. 😊
