Thank you,

Cucumbers in Dilled Sour Cream Overwhelmed by the garden’s onslaught of cucumbers? Here’s a tasty way to put them to good use. These cucumbers are perfect with fried chicken and outstanding on grilled hot dogs! Note: Salting the cucumbers draws out excess moisture and helps keep the salad from getting overly watery.

This post is for those of us who have DSLRs. P&Sers can not, unfortunately, take advantage of the universe of lenses.

Many thanks to Hamish of hames.ca who I featured in my previous post “FP101-3: Depth of Field“. He took the time to write to me with some information on more affordable tilt-shift lenses.

He suggests sourcing your tilt-shift lens from the lens companies emerging out of Russia and the Ukraine. Costs could be halved at least. The following lenses can be sourced at Kiev Camera (I get nothing for this mention, just info kids).

Hartblei

Hartblei MC TS-PC Super-Rotator Tilt Shift 65 mm - $559.00
Hartblei MC TS-PC Super-Rotator Tilt Shift 120 mm - $649.00
Hartblei MC TS-PC Tilt Shift 45 mm - $859.00
Hartblei Superrotator 35 mm - price not listed, call - REVIEW

Available camera mounts include: Canon EF, Canon FD, Nikon F, Sony/Minolta, Minolta MD, Pentax K, Leica R, Contax, M42, Rolleiflex.

Arsat

Arsat 2.8/35 mm shift lens - $259.00 - Arsat review

This is just a shift lens, not tilt-shift.

This lens can be used for shooting on color, black-and-white or infrared films. The lens features a high quality image and transmission of the object small details. This Multicoated glass lens is a high quality precision piece derived from the Russian defense and space technologies (*).

Available lens mounts: Nikon AI , Canon EOS, Canon FD, Pentax M42mm, Pentax K, Konica, Minolta and Contax/Yashika SLR cameras.

If you have any experience with these lenses, chime in!

If you know of other less-cost lenses in the tilt-shift category, let us know!

1/2 teaspoon salt

pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry. Serve warm
