p.1 #1 · I love my Canon gear but.......

I have found that I am becoming drawn to alt glass more and more. For me photography is a serious hobby. I enjoy taking pictures and unfortunately, collecting nice glass. Occasionally I take small paying jobs but, overall it's for fun, my creative outlet. Anyway, I have some outstanding Canon glass that I love but, have been increasingly interested in some alt glass and have been spending a lot of time here on the alt board. Sometimes main stream lenses can look too clinical and perfect, I'm interested in finding the different and distinctive character in all the great lenses available. So let's see some examples from all of those "perfectly" imperfect lenses you alt guys and gals love to shoot

The link Anden posted will take you to over 230 pages of "Alternative" images.
Many excellent shots are in that thread. You will notice certain characteristics of
alternative lens brands and of various photographers, such as Ulrikft/Ulrikft2,
Twok, Leon Noel, foxbat, thrice, the list goes on and on. There is a lot to learn from
that thread. Enjoy.

Here are 3 shots from 3 Zeiss lenses. However, I am not sure that they are what you want: you want "perfectly imperfect" lenses, whereas Zeiss are IMHO "imperfectly perfect"...

That last one has a lot of DOF for f/5.6, even at 21mm... I would like to try out that ZE 21!
