    So I have seen telescope adapters for cell phone photography - anyone out there that use one? If so what type of telescope and how does it perform?

    TrinitySouth99 What amazed me when we traveled around the coast was all the nooks and crannies that had a house clinging to the land.

    Picked up a Zeiss Biotar 58mm f/2 from the early 50s the other day. This lens is what the Soviets copied to make their Helios 44 lenses after WW2. I originally was looking at picking up the more affordable Helios lens but their prices have pretty much doubled over the past year so I figured I'd just pay a few more dollars for the better made German lens. The main feature of these lenses is the swirls it produces in the background as well as the colors.

    Here's another 58mm f/1.2 from Canon. Released in 1964. This is the fastest lens I own. Great bokeh wide open and with such a shallow depth of field is a little tough to nail focus as my eyes get older lol.
