Wayne,

Those shots are making me drool. Great work, but also, obviously, an exceptional lens.

How do you use a ZA on EOS? Aren't they AF lenses?

Anyway, please post more pics with this setup. I have been considering a Contax 100/2 or maybe 135/2, but this looks like another solid option.

Wayne, those shots are great, esp. #2. 3D to me.

I think Wayne can only shoot wide open with the ZA. Beautiful shots, Wayne. Do you use it with tube?

Thanks guys! Yes, it is a great lens. The lens has a manual focus ring which is very nice, has a slight bit of play in it though. I replaced the mount plate with a modified nikon-eos adapter which I redrilled to work with the ZA mounting holes. Aperture control is rudimentary by moving piece of cardboard/paper wedged against aperture ring post on inside of lens. I usually shoot it wide open or at ~f2.2.
Yes, I think the 2nd one was shot with a tube. I'll try to post some more soon.
