Ant - I really like what you are exploring. It would be really neat to have big print in a big room, and from distance, you see what they are, but when you get close, you can't.
That looks very good. Jealous that being a Nikon shooter, I have much less adaptability.
Hi Luka! -- I know, sorry!
This lens is the ZF version, which is (as you know) adaptable to Canon. So I can get double use! Not so the other way. I'm stuck with Nikon AI-type (which aren't my overall favorite), Zeiss ZF, adapted medium format, and an occasional Leica R (I did a Leitax-type mount on my R 60/2.8 macro to work on the D800e).
It's a much richer selection on the Canon side, with tons of adaptable lenses. Still, wish I could get the Minolta MC/MD to work with a simple adapter!

I shouldn't but when I find these things I always try to grab another photographer. Honestly, I was watching ghosts appearing out of the shadows. I have them on film too. I have one set about a woman holding her heart in cupped hands and watching it fly away like a bird ...am so impatient to print them.
I see that your 21mm has found its master. Amazing lens, is good to see you enjoy it so much, is obvious in your photos that you do. Mine still looks new must take it and me for a walk. Am making Belgian waffles with caramelized apples for mothers day with the boys, oneANT might need to go for twoWALKS...

Leitax ! That's right. I have adapted two contax lenses with Leitax. That has been it so far. I will most likely try few more contax or Leica R in the future, but not at the top of the list at the moment.

Ant, your 'a walking man with glasses and hat' was a masterpiece street with 21mm.
I am suspecting that my good-ol D700 has mount alignment issue. Now with a new toy ( D810), I find myself struggle far less with this lens than ever before. I still really like D700, so I may have to take it in for service..

Great to see your work here again, as well as ZM lenses. Great shots! Umbrella shot is beautiful!
