Okay, so last night we were watching the news, waiting for a Hallmark Christmas movie to come on (yes, it was a slow TV/NHL night for us). During the last segment on that program, they were talking about nanobots of some sort. Wasn't really paying attention. But the graphic they threw on the screen during this talk?

My wife issued several grumbilng grunts while I was geeking out over this. I'd like to think the photographer had this M42 mount lens lying around in the studio when shooting this, had they idea for the shot, and grabbed whatever lens they could find, but more likely, someone Photoshopped this together and the first lens image they could find on Getty was this. Nonetheless, pretty cool that this lens was on the news last night!
