here's a ficticious shot.

Here are some real shots:

That black OM-4 and 40/2... I know it's sacrilege to many, but for a carry-anywhere shooter I think I'd take that over anything else in this thread. I wish that pancake wasn't so hard to come by.

carstenw, i'm envious.

So am I. I just borrowed the R8 and 180 Cron They went back The M6 is all mine though

Tell me about it. What an awesome combo.

Glad you like it. Given Oly E-P1, I dream one day we'll see a kinda OM-1D, and then...

Doesn't every one have a 180 cron?

Any how, here's a really exotic bit of glass, the polarising drop in filter for the cron. That little drop in filter cost me almost AUD700, new, but I simply couldn't find one second hand. There's a funky little dial on the outside that rotates the filter internally. It's nice, but SEVEN HUNDRED!!!

It'll just teach my M6 not to get cocky, or the big bad 180 Cron will come and eat it all up.

Rokkor Rehab.

I bought this one which was described as perfect, 100% clean, and it is f*cking full of fungus, internal cleaning marks, dust, and has damaged coatings inside the rear element.
I got about $50 refunded which made it fairly cheap, but nowhere near cheap enough. BUT, it aint that hard a lens to service

I kept it because despite all the problems its sharper than my previous copy

Voigtländer 40/2 Ultron II and Nikkor 24-70/2.8. Wonder why I sold the Nikkor...not.

Leica M3 & canon LTM 50/1.2

Nice combo! How do you like the canon?

The Canon ltm 50/1.2 a nice old-fashioned lens, not so sharp at f/1.2, better at f/1.4
At f/5.6 or 8 it is as sharp as any 50mm
The focus throw is very long, I use to first pre-focus, before bringing the camera to my eye. minimum distance is a bit far, = 1 m. I got some nice pictures with it.
Nowadays, I would buy the nokton 50/1.1

Leica R just fitted to my 5DII the Leitax adaptor is propably the best solution yet and a chip from Happypage the Optix V5 gives this lens a new lease on life.

5D MKII + Nikkor 45 P

Duuuude, that strap!

I assume it is convertible from wrist strap to shoulder strap by undoing two clips?

I agree with Joop; but it does lend for some very nice bokeh and great, smooth colour...
These ones are with the 1.2 on my RD1.
