Another one: Schacht Travenar 90 f/2.8
Another one lens ? Yes.
In my collection ? No.
This one, too, belongs to the same seller who borrowed me the Porst 55/1.2. I got it to cleanup some cleaning traces and a few spots of fungus.
This time, i haven't made a tutorial because the lens is really easy to service. But, if you really want to know how to proceed, feel free to leave a comment here requesting more info, and i will either update this post, or make a new one ...
Once cleaned, i played a bit with it, of course, just to check how it would perform when compared to my Travenar 90/2.8 (yes, i already have one ;-) ...).
Well, this sample seems to be better than mine. At least it has a better contrast (but, maybe, mine needs some cleaning, too) ...
A sample picture, taken with the lens wide open:
Another one, at f/5.6:
Both pictures are straight from the raw files. The only PP, performed by Silkypix, has consisted in pushing the contrast a bit (this sample, like mine, really needs an hood).
The resized pictures really don't show the IQ of the lens (especially the first one). If you really want to appreciate it, go see the full res versions, browsing to my Flickr set here, the last 8 pictures are the ones i took this afternoon ...
And, for the chronicle, i really like the bottle and the content ;-) ...
