Making a Rustic 3 Legged Stool - Vintage Lens Test - 29mm Meyer Optik Gorlitz Orestegon f2.8

In this latest vintage lens test video we watch as a rotten old railway sleeper is hand carved into the seat for rustic three legged stool. The Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Orestegon 29mm f2.8 lens was made in Germany sometime in the 1960s - it has the EXA (or Exakta) bayonet mount. The entire video (excluding the credits at the end) was shot using this lens, using apertures between f2.8 and f5.6. The lens is quite amazing, being able to focus as close as around 10" from the subject. When shooting with the lens wide open it's nice and sharp in the centre whilst pretty blurry at the edges - it works really well for video, keeping the viewers focus on the subject in the centre. Fitted to a Panasonic Lumix GX80 Micro Four Thirds camera the lens has an equivalent focal length of 58mm. I wanted a stool for the new workshop so I could sit down occasionally and that old railway sleeper had been sitting in the yard for years - it had a nice "distressed" look to it and I knew it would have just the right look once it was finished. The legs were just some other scrap wood that was sitting around - I used my usual oil and fire technique to give them a slightly more interesting look.
