Five massive vintage Carl Zeiss Jena large-format lenses arranged on a light wooden table. The collection includes four Apo-Tessars with focal lengths of 60cm, 75cm, 90cm (which has a small dent on the outer rim), and a giant 120cm f/11. In the center sits a smaller Tessar 300mm f/3.5. The lenses are black with white engravings showing their technical specifications and serial numbers, with the glass reflecting the overhead light.

Collected a few CZJ Tessars over the years. The 90cm has a small dent, call it a battle scar, but at this scale, it’s basically a rounding error. I call it 'character,' as they’ve always been workhorses, not just collector items.

An Instax Wide instant photo showing a side-by-side comparison of UV exposure. The left half of the image appears significantly faded and washed out due to 12 months of direct sunlight exposure, while the right half remains darker and retains more detail, having been covered. The photo captures a natural outdoor scene with green foliage and some dried plants in the foreground. The contrast highlights the effect of prolonged UV light on instant film.

12 month of UV Light vs. Instax (Right Side Covered) - A reminder to keep Polaroids and Instax shots away from sunlight if you want them to last.
