   Great contrast and popping colors. Very sharp image. Guessing that F1.2 lens doesn't hurt. You also post sharpened after scanning, yes?

   @tastyredhotburrito The f/1.2 lens is VERY sharp, even wide open, and NOT radioactive! No thorium glass here, I hope! This was shot at f/16 at 1/500 sec, and was scanned by Samy's Cameras in Pasadena. This was automatically sharpened 1 step in GIMP. I was lazy.

   @herbert-4 Good to know. Looks like that lens is available on ebay for $150 (55mm f1.2). Wonder if you can get an adapter for it and use it on a Yashica (C/Y mount). I have a Yashica FX-3 Super 2000, would like to experiment with that. Guess I'll have to do some googling.

   @tastyredhotburrito The one I have is FL mount for a 1967 Canon FT (not FTb) and is on a very obsolete rotating ring breach lock mount that didn't adapt to anything else. Canon FTb uses FD mount, which is more like a bayonet mount. There were mount changing kits, but they were mostly Exacta (Topcon) to Nikon. Good luck.

   @tastyredhotburrito BTW... Radioactive lenses will have actinic damage, an amber/yellowish tint to the glass, maybe ~1/2-1 stop worth. This can be healed by exposing the glass to UV light. Bright sunlight shining through lens for a few days should do it. Thorium is an alpha emitter, and the camera or a bit of distance will protect you its small radiation. Only worry about thorium glass eyepieces. Thorium oxide glass is the highest index glass there is, and was often used until the early 1980's by most lensmakers. Kodak and most Japanese companies were guilty of this.
