<p>Wow Jeff that's really surreallyl! Who?- Away!</p>

<p>wow skeeter! Have to repost that one! Taken at f8.</p><div></div>

<p>Lots of misunderstandings and good advice @ once.<br /> Some did not really read the OP before answering, but jumped for their own favorite.<br /> Let's see how Jean sees it...<br> Jean? Hello - hello!!! Anybody out there? <br> David-might be, but at that price?! To me it looks quite clean.<br /> Send it back if it doesn't appeal, no? Riskin'20 bucks.</p>

<p>posted my 05:08 before George's 05:03 was visible for me...<br> Greetings to all and a pic (too much text in this thread so far, ain't it Barry?!)</p><div></div>

<p>Mukul, yes, bet you are right, and taken as a whole it emphasizes te diagonals. The spacing between the two negs is "wrong", and Georg took - very aware of its intrinsic beauty - that failure for a happy coincidence. Only my 2cents. Time for a CLA, Georg;)</p>

<p>Jean, still and forever "lots of opinions"!<br /> I don't know if anybody made the effort of looking at the link I posted beforehand:<br /> The Canon P is legendary, elegant, sturdy, comfortable, 1:1 finder, has useful framelines (35, 50, 100mm) And the 50mm 1.8 lens in LTM is great, too. You can mount virtually hundreds of different LTM lenses and have parallax comp. At under 200$ with shipping from Japan, hard to beat. Not shure about your import tax stuff, as I am in Europe. Don't have any relation with the seller, who for shure could make a donation to welfare as he reads this;)</p>

<p>Thanks Charlie. Here is another one, our Benjamin.</p><div></div>

<p>Boring Bar</p><div></div>

<p>Very appealing, Georg S! Still in motion, Charlie! Great.</p>

<p>Also quite a nice deal because of the ding:<br> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canon-P-Populaire-50mm-f-1-8-L39-LTM-Leica-Mount-Rangefinder-/162030916316?hash=item25b9cb92dc:g:7CEAAOSwoudW8TWO</p>

<p>Brad, Ray, Greg, Georg, Great!!!</p><div></div>

<p>half a minute...</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks Barry, wow Robin, red filter?</p>

<p>Nice, Barry, let's keep it goin'!!!</p><div></div>

<p>It was probably never used at these far out aperture settings, which makes sense with a Noctilux. Most users have another 50mm lens in their bag to do the daylight shooting. CLA and done.</p>

<p>Craig and Charlie, Hermes trismegistos: As above, so below.</p><div></div>

<p>Yes, the great Summaron. My first and always highly esteemed Leitz lens. No hood required.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi Gus, yeah, I even made a half-moon finger-tip thingie out of a little piece of 100 years dried Wenge wood.<br> Worst part of this lens is its original knob to adjust distance IMHO.</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks Allen, skeeter! I also miss Jim Trahan, but he learns quickly and moved to Large Format in no time, as it suits his pursuits better dare to presume.<br /> These clouds were impressive and I think they are called Altocumulus stratiformis perlucidus undulatus. Five minutes after the first shot posted above.<br> Lovely creamy 50 lux shot, skeeter!<br /> <br /> Best,</p> <p>Knut</p> <h1 align="center"> </h1><div></div>

<p>Summicron-C 40/f2 modded for 35mm frame lines.</p>

<p>Nice, guys. More patterns... f8.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy new year all!</p><div></div>

<p>Stephen, I think your second "first" in the third line should be a "second";or the other way around...Just a second, you have to second that first;)</p> <p>Mine snº 15812xx is in feet only with repro rates, focuses down to 19'' and takes a "modern" goggle with "Leitz Wetzlar" without the symbolic lens cut logo. Hmm.</p> <p>It focuses perfectly.</p> <p>I think there is a lot more merge out there than we can imagine.</p> <p>Anyways, if you want goggles, try them before buying or ask for a return policy in case of non-fitting.</p>

<p>The Summitar is said to be swirly. I just bought one but had to send it back because of severe focus shift on digital Ms. OTOH, everything depends on your backgrounds. Foliage, like in your example given, can exaggerate a given lens' OOF characteristics; while it might appear "neutral" with a cityscape background.</p>
