What have we shot and with what lens?
Let's play a little game, shall we?
I've been playing with a new piece of glass that Dad has bought (ain't that always the way...) and now we're going to see how good ya'll are. So... here are the images. These are all in focus and the only PP done was the colour and light correction in the RAW conversion... and now you have to tell me what glass I was using and what the images are of:

what do i win?
it's either a Noct or a Leica lens with a nikon mount otherwise it could be a beer bottle or a magnifying glass
You haven't won anything.
You haven't said what the lens is nor have you said what the images were. Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

And I have to say that I'm very happy with this new acquisition.

is it an Infrared SIGMA lens ???
My guess is a Nikkor 105 2.8 Macro, using high ISO (as the images look quite grainy). My guess on the images: no.1) a blue pond light under the water (shot from directly above) no.2) looking out of a window at a very overcast sky no.3) an aspro (or the like) falling through a glass of water and disolving (with the image rotated 90 deg) no.4) same as no.1, but with more light/longer exposure Am I WAY off the mark ???

What can one say about four pics that have enough noise to have the police knocking on the door - if they are in focus, I’m off to the eye specialist - knowing Gary and his fondness for Nikon I would say that this is not a Nikon lens - in fact, I don’t even believe it to be a lens - maybe a pin hole.
Three of the images have the same pattern (#1, #3 and #4) and remind me of a reflection in a cats eye - possibly a wardrobe. But hey! It’s all good fun Chris
-------------------------------- I started my life with nothing and I’ve still got most of it left
Number 4 looks like some kind of beverage, probably fizzy, with someting floating in it (an ice cube?). The other pics seem to be different variations/angles on the subject. Off-camera flash with gels on the flash head?
Cheers Steffen.
In that case, you get the gold star! 
We have our very own genuine Coke bottle lens. Glass too! Focus free. No aperture settings either. Chris,you were sort of on the right track, but you didn't chase the logic down to finality. I'll let Leigh fill y'all in on the details of what he shot. We're currently up at Anna Bay with the Birddogs, Kaarmas and Stubbsy. Weather is superb, perfect day for a run up the freeway with the SLK's top in it's resting position. g.

Looks like you found my 24-120VR that I threw out the 747 window a 40 000 feet and landed on Bondi Beach sorry I should have waited till we crossed the Continental Shelf the water is deeper their. Incredible that it didn't get damaged after the fall
