#2 and #3 are the same lens. Full name: Leica APO-Summicron-M 75 mm f/2 ASPH. The difference between them is that I had incorrect camera settings on #3 making the camera apply wrong lens settings.

Ah, I got it. I wondered, because difference betweent #1 and the rest is far greater than the difference between #2 and #3. Now it all makes sense. I might have mentioned before, but some of your shots reminds me of Akira Kurosawa's shots. Beautiful.
Philber - Great set. First one with arch on the left and slight vista beyond, is a beautiful shot, I love the composition. Ver painterly drawing style. Great capture of the statues, as usual And really lovely light you caught on the last. Looking forward to see your NEX shots.
Wow this thread has gone forward fast. Great photos everyone. I havent had time to post anything since been busy elsewere. Now Im going trough my near 2000 unprocessed photos during the summer so I will be posting according as I process them.
Heres some from 500D + 1.4 planar combo, all wide open:
Sami - Love the texture of planks on the second shot.
Diploneis - I love the praise, but I should be honest. The pano you are referring to is probably Bob's ?
Beautiful series of portraits. Great color and contrast. Third shot is my favorite. Also the last one with the strong composition.
MJ - Your set is very pretty, Bride waiting in dark room, that shot says a lot without any words. Great change in tone for the rest of the set to be bright and white. I also really like the last shot.

I know, I often have to have two tabs of this thread open to keep track when commenting. It is a wonderful challenge though. Anyway, your shots with 100MP are beautiful. I admire your focusing skill in seemingly quite dim light. Red coat really stands out making stark contrast in the shots.
This is a great lens. One thing that is interesting is that at wide open, vignetting is strong and seemingly underexpose a bit too, by f2.8 it clears most of it. I like vignetting, but the character of vignetting on MP100 seems different from ZF21 or 35, with stronger contrast. Anyhow, training continues
Martynas, lovely "little red riding hood" set! It makes me want to be reincarnated as a wolf!
MJ, very interesting. How to tell a story without showing it...
Very nice, as always, Bob. I like your third shot best. Vignetting on your last is too strong for my taste, and the first is also very interesting. I found some URBEX sites in a bad neighbourhood, but will explore that with my NEX, much stealthier than my DSLR.
Bob - that tattered flag image is fantastic. Signs of times
MJ - Very nice images.
Akul - that first shot (buildings) is one of those shots which makes me want to go shooting!
Diploneis (Martynas?) - Wonderful shots of that girl in the red dress. Hard to pick a favorite.
Keep 'em coming folks.
Can someone help (or give) me the template for putting in the exif information in the white border ? I will really appreciate it. Thx.
Bob- Wonderful use of 100MP for Urbex. Second one is my favorite. Love the composition for all of them.
I like natural vignetting, and I am getting used to it. It just threw me off a bit. True, once focus is there, sharpness of this lens even wide open is quite amazing. And the bokeh is gorgeous. As is often the case with me, first try was smooth, and felt easy as I am working from intuition. Now I have to work harder. It is a fun challenge.
I am truly sorry!
