New Year pics

Beginning of this year it's clear in the sky and climate condition is favorable.
I have been advocating only in natural art without any artificial processing, I've made up my mind to dedicate in artificial art also this year. Shooting condition would be actively conditioned including artificial lighting source, contemporary art is one of my preference.
A few lenses are prepared for close up shooting, Minolta MD Macro Rokkor 100 mm/f4 with extension tube, Leitz Elmar 50 mm/f3.5 and Leitz Macro Elmarit R 60 mm/2,8.
Old lens Elmar 50 mm requires extended hood for preventing Halation so to speak unnecessary light noise. The rate of hood extension is decided in the condition that lens barrel is in infinity position and iris is closed utmost. Especially, all the lenses for Leica format need hood extension when they were used on APSC image sensor or smaller ones. Hood is an indispensable method to obtain excellent transparency, it's a common sense among professionals. A capability and potential of some specific lens should be discussed after the condition of use is settled enough.
Ordinary Triplet lens should be paid more attention on halation light cut gently to bring out their good performance. Recent lens coating method is not always enough to eliminate halation phenomena.
The less glass material make it easy to light power pass through onto image sensor surface. On the other hand, least lenses are necessary to eliminate several abrasions, less glass lens module or multiple module, which to chose? I prefer the former one.

I happened to visit Osaka Air Port park yesterday in accordance with my son for passenger's airplane photo shooting. Though it was my first experience to choose the moving airplane as a target, I determined to aim at the situation of landing phase, just with tire smoke. At that critical moment, slat and flap are fully down, slanted by lateral wind fuselage is corrected immediately to parallel with the run way correcting both rudder and aileron. The skill of pilot is examined utmost at this very moment at all.
Minolta MC Tele-Rokkor 200 mm/f 4 was my choice on SONY alpha 6400 APSC format.
