Love it!

I'm quite convinced Andi has the vision to pull that off with a "pin hole" - the Zeiss just adds a little color and texture.

It's a shame what New York has come to. I never thought I would see cartoon characters roaming the streets -- especially in the Times Square area. Sad, really.

Andi, you need to stop buying those expensive lenses and buy yourself some furniture man!

Just double checking before I buy. The Zeiss 50mm N 1.4 requires and adapter to work on the canon 5dmark2? Or is there still a problem with it touching the mirror? Thanks for the help.

Been playing with my new converted N 85. Wow, what a lens. Sharp with nice bokeh.
Here is just a quick one of my dog wide open.


Sigh. I want one but the prices, even when you can find one are outrageous.

Ha!Ha!
The shots in this thread also helped convince me:

https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/839871/0?keyword=contax,N,85#7824134

Up until that thread, there were NOT a lot of shots posted here with that lens.
I don't know what is more rare, finding a copy of this lens or shots taken with this lens!
