<p>#2</p><div></div>

<p>From 3 weeks ago. M2, 50mm f1.5 Sonnar ZM, Fuji Acros, ISO 6, Zone Simple Extreme.</p><div></div>

<p>One from last week from the other side of the same pond. Olympus E-P2 with 1052 85mm f2 Jupiter 9 LTM lens.</p><div></div>

<p>I shot this with the M9 and a vintage German l35/4.5 lens whose name I forgot at the moment (it is back at my office).</p><div></div>

<p>One of my last Images with My M8 + 50LuxA @1,4 - Now it is sold, hoping that I don't regret thid, but i still have M6 M6 and a Rigid 50Cron though.</p><div></div>

<p>Leica M3 and 13.5cm Nikkor; Tri-X in D-76 (1:1).</p>

<p>These two, shot yesterday, represent my first outing with the Leitz 500mm MR-Telyt-R mirror lens on a Sony NEX 5n.</p><div></div>

<p>Being a cloudy day I needed to crank the ISO to get a good shutter speed but the NEX handled it well. I like the compactness of this lens. I thought it worked well for a first try.</p><div></div>

<p>New York City</p><div></div>

<p>Leica M9 w/ (modern) Zeiss 50/1.5 + red filter @ ISO 400 & converted to B&W in Photoshop.</p><div></div>

<p>"Chapel Perilous" - EXACTLY!!! As always, great job!</p>

Thanks Jim. The suggested figure in the lit opening was just too much to pass up. I photographed it a couple times, but this one, in

morning light, really captured the feeling.

<p><strong>Another from Taiwan, in the Jing Gua Shi Museum</strong><br>
