That black OM-4 and 40/2... I know it's sacrilege to many, but for a carry-anywhere shooter I think I'd take that over anything else in this thread. I wish that pancake wasn't so hard to come by.

Tell me about it. What an awesome combo.

Glad you like it. Given Oly E-P1, I dream one day we'll see a kinda OM-1D, and then...

Doesn't every one have a 180 cron?
Any how, here's a really exotic bit of glass, the polarising drop in filter for the cron. That little drop in filter cost me almost AUD700, new, but I simply couldn't find one second hand. There's a funky little dial on the outside that rotates the filter internally. It's nice, but SEVEN HUNDRED!!!

And the whole happy family.

It'll just teach my M6 not to get cocky, or the big bad 180 Cron will come and eat it all up.

Rokkor Rehab.
I bought this one which was described as perfect, 100% clean, and it is f*cking full of fungus, internal cleaning marks, dust, and has damaged coatings inside the rear element.
I got about $50 refunded which made it fairly cheap, but nowhere near cheap enough. BUT, it aint that hard a lens to service
I kept it because despite all the problems its sharper than my previous copy

Voigtländer 40/2 Ultron II and Nikkor 24-70/2.8. Wonder why I sold the Nikkor...not.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Makten/24-70_vs_ultron.jpg
The Ultron is really small. But the Summicron-C 40/2 for Leica CL is smaller.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Makten/ultron_vs_summicron.jpg
And finally, my newly acquired M8, with Elmar-C 90/4. I'm very frustrated over not having a shorter lens for it at the moment! The Summicron is in for repair.

I wonder if there a similar drop in polariser filter, with external dial, for the Tamron SP 300mm f2.8 LD IF?...The one that comes with it does'nt have an external dial so you have to keep taking it out to turn the polariser.

The Canon ltm 50/1.2 a nice old-fashioned lens, not so sharp at f/1.2, better at f/1.4
At f/5.6 or 8 it is as sharp as any 50mm
The focus throw is very long, I use to first pre-focus, before bringing the camera to my eye. minimum distance is a bit far, = 1 m. I got some nice pictures with it.
Nowadays, I would buy the nokton 50/1.1

Duuuude, that strap!
I assume it is convertible from wrist strap to shoulder strap by undoing two clips?

Nice one.
I have a beautiful old leather strap I pulled off a nikkormat but I dont think it is strong enough to hold a 5D :\
Instead I put it on one of my rangefinders
Nothing beats leather! although I wouldnt want to leave my camera in storage for long with a leather strap on it - great source of nutrients for fungus..

I have used leather straps for my digital camera's since my first Nikon D1 in 1999 without any problems what so ever, the D1 is still alive and well after all this years with her leather carrying friend...
So i would not worry about it...

This lens balances very well on my D5000!
Shot few mins after the conversion (using Leitax Leica-to-Nikon bayonet).
