Oscar Zwierzina Plasticca Objektiv

Diese Woche habe ich endlich mein Plasticca-Objektiv auf eine sinar-Platte montiert. Grund genug mit einem meiner Stamm-Models ein spontanes Testshooting anzuberaumen (mit gebotenem Corona-Sicherheitsabstand, versteht sich).

Offiziell heißt das gute Stück: "Oscar Zwierzina Dresden Kunst-Portrait Objektiv Plasticca F:4 Serie B" und hat 400mm Brennweite. Es dürfte um 1925 sein. Es gibt keine Blendeneinstellung, denn es ist nur für Offenblende vorgesehen um einen besonderen Soft-Focus Effekt zu erzielen. Grundsätzlich ist das Objektiv damit für die "pictorial photography" gedacht, einen Stil, in dem Portraits einen weichen Effekt "wie gemalt" bekommen sollen. Die Schärfeebene ist sehr schmal und auch nur aufs Bildzentrum konzentriert. Außerhalb der Schärfeebene wirkt die Unschärfe auf mich wie mit dem Wischfinger-Werkzeug bie PS gemacht. In jedem Fall ist der Effekt ganz anders als bei einem Petzval.

Ein interessantes Stück Glas, mit dem ich sicher noch viel Spaß haben werde!

English: This week I mounted my Oscar Zwierzina Plasticca 400mm lens on a Sinar board and invited Fanie for a test shoot. I love the distinct sharpness in the focal plane around the center and the smooth falloff of sharpness to the corners. It has been made around 1925 and it has no stops. It's soft focus effect is made for "pictorial photography". I think I will have a lot of fun with this lens!

Ausstellung 2019 von nudeart.ch in Zürich  

23 Sichtweisen der Aktfotografie

Thursday, 2019-10-31 18:00h - Sunday, 2019-11-24 18:00h

Sihlquai 125, Zürich / Switzerland / Europe

Zum 25jährigen Jubiläum stellen die Mitglieder von nudeart.ch, ein Zusammenschluss vornehmlich Schweizer Aktfotografen, ihre besten Werke in Zürich aus.

Ich war auf der Vernissage und denke, dass diese Ausstellung einen Besuch wert ist. Ein Hinweis im Veranstaltungskalender bei strkng sollte zumindest nicht fehlen.

Unter den Ausstellern befindet sich u.a. Martin Zurmühle, dessen Buch über Aktfotografie wohl mit zu den aktuellen deutschsprachigen Standardwerken gehört.

Es gibt auch einige interessante Vorträge und Workshops (u.a. einen Analog-Workshop). Näheres hierzu ist auf der Webseite von nudeart.ch zu erfahren.

Die Ausstellung befindet sich im 3. OG der "Photobastei 2.0" am Sihlquai 125, ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuss vom Zürcher Hauptbahnhof entfernt. Eine Adresse, die für Fotofreunde auch wegen der anderen Ausstellungen nicht uninteressant ist (www.photobastei.ch)
