This is one of the photographs being offered through SmallEditionPrints. It was made with a “vintage” 15mm ultra wide angle lens manufactured circa 1979. While it looks like a fisheye lens, it’s actually rectilinear – straight lines stay straight. No curvy fishiness in your photos with this lens. High-tech and wildly expensive back then, considered obsolete today; it’s one of my favorite lenses. The machine in the photograph is a Carding Engine manufactured circa 1858. It revolutionized the textile industry. In 1958 a complete three story factory with nine carding engines sold for $650.00. Today the same factory is a historic landmark, Watkins Woolen Mill. Will my lens make a comeback, will it be valuable again? Don’t know, don’t care, I’m getting full value from it right now.
