Robert, the one on p.4 which looks like some kind of a coon.

... Now that I’ve achieved a coveted position in the hierarchy of accomplished photographers proficient in the art of manual focus ... to consistently generate the type of results expected of masters on this high level
I feel the need to invest in the following …


Zeiss 135mm f/2 Apo Sonnar T*

Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 Otus Distagon T*

Zeiss 55mm f/1.4 Otus Distagon T*

Zeiss 35mm F/1.4 Distagon T*

… though just a basic beginners set, this humble collection could be a start to a wonderful and profitable new career …

Special thanks to PetKal and the other little people who have provided encouragement and uplifting words at times I had my doubts … and frankly … was at a point I was questioning if all this effort was worth continuing …
Now we all know …


Much thanks once again to all,
Jefferson …

… I believe a gesture that would instill in my memory the fond remembrances of my many minutes spent here on FM would be to be rewarded* with the Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 Otus Distagon T*. It would mean much and would provoke nothing but warm thoughts about the kind (of) gestures I received while participating with both the locals … and foreigners … right here on FM.

I … of course … will still find time to share my new and exciting endeavors with all here at Fred’s … the lurkers … trolls … and even the Imagemaster …


With nothing but respect (at least until I’m satisfied I got a good copy of the Zeiss in my hands),
Jefferson …

(Means no cost to me of course)*

A funny guy.....some of you foreigners south of the border have a sense of humour similar to what we have locally in Ontario and further east to the Atlantic. I guess some of our Albertans are fun too.

Not sure if this counts ... it's an EF mount, but it is the Kodak SLR/C (Canon version).

The lens is Mamiya M645 150/2.8 A ... so I'm pretty sure it was manual focus.

Modest crop for composition and resize @ 66%
