W/NW: wide ohhhpen

As far as I could go. F2.8 at 1/1000 on a sunny late afternoon. Leica M4-2/90 Tele-Elmarit; T-Max 100 /Rondinal.

Two from the backyard shot with Pentax SV/Super-Takumar 55 1.8, "Wide Open" on Ilford FP4/Rodinal

Two Nikkors. The smiling rock is the F-mount sonnar Nikkor-Q 135 f3.5 pre-Ai and the high fiving tree stump is the venerable Nikkor-S 50 f1.4 also pre-Ai. Both are favourites of mine. I especially like the way the 50 creates a charcoal like drawing. There was no background for the 135, but in the right conditions, it will swirl with the best of them.
Nikkormat Ftn/Ilford FP4.

Old pre thorium version of Takumar 55 f1.8 on a Pentax SV with Ilford FP4 in Rodinal(Blazinal). For next to nothing, a heck of a lens.

Being a cheapskate if effect of wide-open wanted, use a Tele-Extender on a normal 50mm lens at full aperture! Try it out!

This would be cool to try out on a Leica M. I didn't know they existed. Only 10 made and pricey. Bummer.

Then there's the Komura TE 2x - pretty cool:

I have probably posted this one in years past, but I really like this portrait of my friend's dog Mr. Frodo. Wide open using Canon 50mm/f0.95 on Canon 7s
