There is a famous restaurant named Salon Powaku in Mino at Northern Osaka situating just near by Hankyu Railway station Mino. The external designing and furniture there are fully copied precisely with the original construction of the Mediterranean village including fittings. Extraordinary atmosphere is above words. I don't know this kind of restaurant in Japan except here. I have visited this sophisticated place twice and I got several transparencies, still now I have some regret to have lost several shootings, so I'll come again next Sunday. Lensbaby MUSE double glass 50 mm would be carried with me on next opportunity to have fantasist shots like some fairy tale, as it's physical property, surrounding image quality would be reduced intentionally to use this irrational lens. I hope my decision would be to the point, BINGO! The result will be proved in a week.

Rainy days are lasting because linear rail zone is keep sitting on our main land these days. Utilizing free boring time, I made up two lenses for SONY Alpha 7, one is magnification lens for teardrop shooting and another is just a toy-like Lens Baby with no helicoid and ordinary iris adjusting system. The former one is consists of 75 mm/4.5 Fujinon-ES for enlarging and developing purpose. Former fabricated barrel and 82 mm extension tube reproduce 2.3 to 3.3 multiplies.
Latter one required to prepare adapter ring to fill the clearance because it had been done for DSLR A mount with mirror box distance. Both an E-mount body cap and an originally boxed A-mount lens rear cap could play good for the purpose to compensate 22.5 mm length though they lack 2 mm distance, it worked well for actual focusing procedure, even in that condition it focusing at 2 m point. With pushing and pulling actions it performs as a normal 50 mm standard lens on Full-size format. Newly fabricated 2 lenses would contribute to make myself satisfy for the time being.

As is often the case that I got a very special old lens from Yahoo Auction at only 1 yen, Fujinon ES 75mm/4.5, I determined to make use of it for close up shooting purpose. This lens does not have helicoid construction, the fact would prove naturally that determinate use only for developing procedure on Silver-Salt paper with an enlarging machinery in a dark room with some strong acid smell.
The obtained timing of this material meets well for "Tear Drop shooting" set on the beginning of next month. Also, this kind of hobby work kills my boring free time conveniently at all.
75 mm focus length lens produces 1.3X to 2.1X with barrel length adjustment and 2.3X to 3.3X together with 82 mm extension tube promptly. Former fabricated 38 mm Hexanon reverse mounted lens does 3.3X to 5.5X reproductions. It goes without describing that in the actual shooting scenery fighting on the Tripod for precise focusing , very special experienced technology is required that differs from ordinary field shooting at all.
