Hi everyone. It's been a while. Hope you're doing well!
I've been very busy writing about (my beloved, but often very niche) manufacturers and their lenses. I'm not sure there's much interest for that stuff around here, but if someone wants to take a look, there certainly are lots of words to be found there and many images made with lenses never intended for taking pictures.
C. Friedrich was a small and almost unknown company located in Munich, Germany, which even most photographers likely have never even heard about.
Besides some historical information and lens specifications, I've also tried to create a significant amount of sample shots in order to show why I'm particularly interested in the small company's output.
I've mainly focused my attention on the industrial lenses the manufacturer made and some of those are indeed quite unique and interesting as taking lenses today, if you're interested in older lenses.

If you have any additional information, corrections or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out - I'm always interested to hear your perspective on the matter.
Here are a couple of sample shots:
And a couple of (cross view) stereo images:
