I wish I could get my lenses to breed. I've tried to set the mood for the APO-Elmarit-R 100 and Summilux-M 50, soft lighting, Barry White on the stereo, time alone, but so far this has not yielded the APO-Summicron 75 for which I'd hoped.

Mamiya RZ67 65mm and 90mm lenses. I paid a good price for the 65mm, but too much for the 90mm, a little of which I get back by not paying shipping twice, and a little by buying a very nice copy. Still, I could have bought the 90mm for quite a bit less.

Carsten and James- glad I could contribute to your chuckles for the day.
Ben- when did Siggys stop counting? Given their rise in popularity, I'm surprised we don't have a Sigma lens thread like we have for other brands.
Carsten- I've done that. Convenience is the scourge of savings accounts everywhere. But, if they make you want to use them, then they were worth every pfennig (or whatever the Euro-coin is called).
Today I found this ZM C Biogon 21/4.5 on the boards and picked it up for the GXR. I also found a used wired remote for the GXR at B&H that will ship on Wednesday apparently. The tiny pano kit is coming together nicely.

Hexanon 200/3.5 EE and 50/1.7 AE (another,newer).
Hexanons are truly extraordinary.Sharp,neutral colours,very good contrast and much low than average CA.100/2.8,50/1.4,50/1.7,135/3.2 and 40/1.8 Hexanons are excellent.All can match their Zeiss C/Y equivalents in the sharpness department and win them by lower overall level of CA.24/2.8 AE,35/2.8 6-lenser EE and 28/3.5 7-lenser EE are very good as well.
