Some architecture details, as seen through my "Cenei Vario-Spiegel-Vorsatz". This photograph has been created with my old "Cenei Vario-Spiegel-Vorsatz". Since I liked the result I post it here.

The "Cenei Vario-Spiegel-Vorsatz" is an interesting device from the 1970s. (Ok, the name is a bit longish, but for German speaking people it gives some hint of what it's all about since it contains the German words for "variable", "mirror" and "attachment". The "Vorsatz" is a black tube which you can screw into the filter thread of your lens. The tube is telescopic and can be extended (to double its length). Inside there are lots of curved mirrors which project multiple images of what is around you into the frame. Depending on the focal length of you lens and the degree of the extension of the tube the effect the device produces can be quite different. To make the use of the "Vario-Spiegel-Vorsatz" even more flexible you can rotate the front part which contains the mirrors. This way you can precisely adjust the position of reflections in your photo. Pretty cool!
For my shot I combined the "Vario-Spiegel-Vorsatz" with my AF-S Micro NIKKOR 40mm 1:2.8 G. I haven't used the "Vorsatz" for many years (given that the 1970s are over...) but maybe I'll put it back into action from time to time.
