Just one on the alt flower thread... And I blew out the flowers a bit at that!

I have only had it for a month or so and have mostly used it around home, taking memory shots of my garden and things like that. It's fantastic for travel - my trinity and 5D2 pack into a little Pelican case perfectly.

I had ZE21 and TSE24II for a long time, but I got tired of packing their hefty selves around. The tiny OM suits me.

Definetly an impressive garden. And the lens too :-)

If I draw from the theological analogy, this trinity should be available (affordable) to all men and answer all their needs

. An impossible task in the world of optics but here is my try:
Heliar 15
contax G 45
canon FD 85L

Hah, thanks, I wish that was my garden!!

I like the OM quite well on 1.3x crop, too. It makes a nice ~28mm and with the wee corners chopped and cropped off it's sharp across the frame. Definitely prefer it to 17-40L.

p.9 #8 · p.9 #8 · Holy trinity of lenses

e6zion, the first two are truly great, esp. the SS. I would include the Fuji 240mm f9 with them.

Right now, in view of the ineluctable need for the unbearable lightness of photographic lenses, as well as being:

Contax 21mm f2.8 (530g)
Leica Summicron-R 50mm f2 v2 (290g)
Contax 100mm f3.5 (286g)

so around 1100 grams all up, and the 35-70 zoom adds another 480 grams.
I'll man up, dig deep, do it for the team, and shoulder the burden.

Mine would be:

CY 35/1.4
Rokkor 58/1.2
Voigtlander 125/2.5

Or rather my holy trinity accompanying me wherever I go..

FF:

Zeiss 25mm f/2
Zeiss 35mm f1.4
Leica R 100mm f/2.8 APO

Have two of the three. Rented the Zeiss 25 last weekend and prefer it to the 21. Will have to get the 25 when funds permit.
