Thanks all, for the comments on my previous post! I agree that the 35/2 is "too good" for B/W film. It looks odd. I need to adjust focus on my M6, so that I can use the Biogon 35/2.8 again. It works better with film than the Distagon, and it might be the best lens ever.
Loads of great images since yesterday! I'm not good at commenting, but I sincerely welcome the new users. Great work!
-----------------
Today I was threatened. A man craved that I should take his picture. It was a weird situation, like "you shall not pass" until I had given him the proper attention, which meant taking his picture. Well, I did...
I was lucky enough to have the 35/2 on the camera, which suited the situation very well. When I walked away I heard him asking his "fellows" if he should beat me up. Luckily, he didn't. I feel so sad for these people.
Welcome to the new guys, I counted to 3 since my last post, and great photos.
Luka, I like the shots of the canon.
Samuli, very nice blue 'Enter darkness' photos.
Sorry to hear you were threatened Makten but still nicely executed photos. That tall guy does look mean.
Phillipe, nice flower shot with the 50/1.4
Martin, that is hilarious. The guy in the front looks like a midget compared to the guy in the back on the first shot. That is one bad ass bike they got too
Makten, that's a nasty situation, I'm glad you got out of it without a scratch. I suppose that your choice of environment (i.e urban decay) increases the likelihood of meeting such characters. Still, it's an uncomfortable thought that there can be places in Stockholm where you are not safe with a camera. Is this something you've encountered before?

Yeah, these people are not doing well. I feel sorry for them. The "midget" was blind on one eye and didn't seem to like the camera at all.

I've never encountered such people before, but I knew they were there. And this was att Norra station, which is close to the city. I was shooting the teardown of the brick buildings, when I stumbled on these guys.
Joakim, great shots - the first one in the 50 series is just amazing. Love the second one as well. Adn the 21 series is great. And the last 50 image as well.
Makten, yeah they are building a lot around Karolinska. I would not have guessed that it was unsafe there though. Probably just a case of bad luck on your part. Well, on the bright side you got away with some nice photos.
The most exciting thing that happened to me today is that I got bitten by a goat. This little bastard to be precise:
Thank you Luka, glad you liked the first 50. It was shot wide opened and compared to another shot were I had stopped down to 2.8 I think that softness at 1.4 actually makes it a better photo.
Visca, great pano's.
Martin, potentially nasty but very interesting street shot Interesting why the 35/2 doesn't render as well on film.
Luka great shots! It is excellent to see the variation between the different lenses.
Joakim, excellent shots. I love the subtle rendering of your shots. My preference is the 21 and #1 with the 50/1.4.
Boris, great street shots!
denoir, you really bring out that 85/1.4! love the way it renders the scene .. im about to join the 100ZE club, probably order it this weekend. i blame u! lol jk

Sorry, my fault. Lightroom has updated some Metadata on Flickr, but not for 3 shots as i want him to. He did it for all, so all links were renewed.
Have fix this now.
