#pentacon100mm

Summer Painted by Time

Some flowers bloom loudly. Others quietly fill the air with colour.

This orange daylily met the morning through the glass of a Pentacon 100mm f/2.8, a lens that has already witnessed countless summers before finding its place on a modern Canon R7.

Old lenses do not simply record light. They remember how light once felt.

Old Glass, Soft Morning

The flower still carried the rain. The air smelled of leaves and silence. And somewhere between old glass and morning light, a tiny life paused long enough to become a memory.

Captured with a vintage Pentacon 100mm f/2.8 on a Canon R7 — proof that some lenses do not merely record the world, they soften it into feeling.

Morning suspended on thin golden lines

Old lenses sometimes paint light differently. Not sharper. Not more perfect. Just softer… more human.

Tiny drops of morning dew rested on wild grass while the Pentacon 100mm turned the background into floating circles of silence and light. For a brief moment, the meadow felt endless and weightless.

Perhaps that is the true magic of vintage glass — not technical perfection, but atmosphere.
