Over the years, I've tried various vintage and some downright weird lenses to add that certain je ne sais quoi to my photographs. Consequently, I now have in my possession a mini arsenal comprised of a couple of tilt-shift lenses, one or two mirror lenses, and a Helios-44. Etc. Recently, I picked up a copy of the Pentax Mirror Zoom 400-600 f/11 lens. It is a mirror lens with an adjustable focal length, something I didn't know existed. I used it to make this photograph of a wild flower. I was also shooting through the screen of our porch, which diffused the image even more.
