Thanks. I bought the body...completely stripped down and refurbed, from Peter Robinson.

I haven't shot a roll yet, but looks great. Highly recommended.

A bit of nostalgia for me. The Contax 139Q was my first SLR.

Beautiful, John.

135/2's not close enough? APO, Carsten!

Actually I agree, I couldn't push those buttons very well. Luckily they're ones you don't need often (well, maybe the backlight).

That lens, by the way, is unbelievable. Even wide open it's too sharp for portraits (even for my girlfriend who's only 22)! I'm going to have to soften in post.

At least it has a top LCD that serves a purpose. The one on the a900 is questionable, at best.

Right, when that is finally out, that is one less reason to go Sony A-mount, IMO.

Asahi Pentax Auto-Takumar 85mm f/1.8, classic.

I've seen some great shots taken with these. (Asahi Pentax Auto-Takumar 85mm f/1.8)

I don't know. I'm really looking forward to having a stabilized 135/2.

I am posting photos of my 2 most recent purchases of alternate lenses. These are the Leica R f4 280mm Apo Telyt lens and the Leica f4 80-200mm Vario Elmar lens.

I will be posting photos in this and the following posting.

This is the second posting of both the Leica f4 80-200mm Vario Elmar and the Leica f4 280mm Apo Telyt lenses.

Looking forward to seeing some shots with it, I do like my Super-Tak 85/1.9 a whole lot.

^Shane, nice images on your tumblr feed.

An example:


fantastic shot, and great series.

i agree about the 42mm equiv focal length.

Jabberwockt & sebboh thanks guys.

Congrats on the M-Hex 28, looking forward to seeing what it can do.

Very nice Shane! I have always wanted to try out that lens...

Just got a Contax C/Y 35mm F1.4 Distagon and a Kiron 28mm F2.0 FD mount.

Will be fun to see how they work on the NEX-7
