Caveat Emptor & The Dallmeyer Anastigmat
At times, I’m a creature—a goblin?—of impulse.
For instance: my boyfriend mentions I should try a wide angle lens on my camera. I start hunting around for a vintage lens. I stumble over a Dallmeyer Speed Anastigmat on Ebay, and after watching one (1) review, leap to buying it. This all happens in under 8 hours. Or it did… two weeks ago.
The new lens finally arrived today and.. the goshdang thing doesn’t focus to infinity! (Yours truly has learned a lesson about only buying items that have been TESTED.)
This might be an issue with the focus ring and COULD be fixable. While this did stifle my excitement a little, I still got some pretty rad swirly closeups playing around with it today. I can’t wait to play more with this dreamy lens.

Call To Adventure
The internet said this little guy is called a “parsley worm." I figured letting him and his family hang out in my summer garden was worth sacrificing a little parsley.
