Another great set, Charles! I was in Varanasi in 1980 and have negatives stored that I've never done anything with. Your images motivate me to take a look at what I have and maybe try some scans. Keep posting. These are excellent.

Wonderful work!

I don't quickly find a Zeiss Biotar 75mm f/1.4 described online. Is it the 75mm f/1.5, or am I missing it?

Thanks!
