In comparison older Contarex CZ lenses
Planar 50mm
Sonnar 85mm
Of course the new lenses outresolves the old ones eg Loxia 50mm causes moire on brick vs Contarex does not, but the mf is much smoother/easy with the older ones as they were CLA'd last winter and older lenses might be more optically corrected...

One thing I would like to see. When we have beautiful landscapes, especially, please identify where they are. Most people do but sometimes I think, "I want to go there, where is it," or at least go there vicariously.

For Michael and others interested, these were taken in Rezzonico... a small village on the Lago di Como near the more famous and big Menaggio... in Italia, of course
Picked up a short M42 helicoid adapter (too short for regular M42 lenses), to allow infinity focus with my Leitz Focotar 40/2.8 (enlarger lens). Apart from some pretty pronounced vignetting wide open, it's a very fine piece of glass: Rainy leaf by scepticswe, on Flickr
A big thank you to Philippe for starting this thread. It is for me an obligatory and so pleasurable moment everyday to get inspired and to learn from so many talented other passionate photographers from all over the world.
