Some B&Ws with my Russian Monocle/Monolens 50mm. #2, 7 and 8 are from our cabin in Sweden. My parents visited us there for the first time last week and it was a nice surprise to find the slope down to the water filled with daisies.
the flare by the sun likely due to condensation buildup of the filter, the exposure was a few minutes long and there was mist all over the filter. Zeiss wipes come in extremely handy for this type of shooting.
Samuli -- That Loxia 85 seems like the perfect out-of-the-box solution for you! Terrific recent shots. I'm not really a telephoto guy, but you are moving me closer to that 85 to complete my Loxia collection! Thanks!
Thank you, Philippe! Wow, a Siamese bike twins, joint at the "wheel" . Great image of this rarity,
