I have to sell my beloved Contax 100 2.0 for this lens I will probably regret this...

A shameless advertisement ...

anden:

Dwaynes (Via Walmart) isn't too bad with Kodachrome turnaround. I only have a dozen or so rolls of K25 though.

wkch: wow, Leica apo 100, very nice. Yeah, not sure why he didn't reply to me before. Ah well. sounds like he is into high-end audio from his ebay name.

David, it's on the way! But before I packed it I had to take some pics. Pardon the oly orgy here... I don't get to share the post-your-pics lovin' very often, being a film-only shooter primarily. These were taken with my little point and shoot Canon S70. (some were actually manually-focused, just to keep it on-topic and in the alt spirit... ;-)

Keep us posted on the shootout. They are both great lenses I am sure, no way to lose there! Zeiss seems quite resilient price-wise too.

Enjoy

Nice trio of lenses, Ed. Believe it or not, I'm still waiting on mine to arrive...its been over a week. Looks like its stuck in limbo somewhere between Montreal and Texas. Maybe tomorrow...sigh.

hi Mike -

Thanks! I am down to 2 now, and probably one soon. But one should be enough.

Hope it comes soon! the waiting is the hard part. Yours looks as nice or nicer than most all of mine I think perhaps, esp. since I think you got the case (and hood? that's rare).

keep us posted,

-Ed

According to the Canada Post tracking info, the lens left Canada on 2/6/09...my bet is that US Customs is holding things up. The deal included the hard case, but the ad didn't make any mention of the hood. Hopefully, its stored in the case lid and the seller just neglected to mention it.

Great shots Andreas. I even like the flare in the first.

My 18 arrived this afternoon, and I'll be posting Zeiss/Zuiko shoot-out pics tomorrow. Have already shot one comparison set of images, and yes, we have a winner...

Turning Torso shot rules! I wonder if a 24 shift could capture that and keep verticals vertical... ;-)

david, good to hear it made it! keep us posted,

Thanks guys! I brought my tripod and the Manfrotto 410 geared head to make sure everything was leveled.

The TT is one of the most photographed buildings in Malmö. I have not seen this view after dark before so I am happy.

Turning torso is excellent! Reminds me of Hanrar's (sp?) work. Where has the king of the Zuiko 18/3.5 gone?

I was about to ask the same thing. This thread isn't "official" until Hrannar and Simon show up.

But I do agree that Andreas is making very good use of the lens.

Bravo, Andreas. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Paul! You are too kind. I have decided to spend more time shooting and thus I have produced a few decent photos over the last couple of weeks.

Indeed, you have!

Strange how that works, eh?

I am in the process of liquidating a ton of gear, with the intention of shooting more and simply making the best photos I can with the gear I have already. Hopefully, I'll end up with a few keepers.

I'm off to do some shooting right now, in fact.

Let me guess, Paul - you are definitely keeping:

Zuiko21, Rokkor 58/1.2, SCC 85/1.2, V125, FD300, Z24-40...

You will also keep something between 21 and 58 obviously... Maybe get something new and spectacular in that range? Maybe getting a Z18/3.5 as well...?
