Here are three with the Apo-Telyt 180mm taken at one of the sexiest temples in India: the Sun Temple in Konark. Of the about 12.000 gods, demons, humans and animals that are shown in reliefs all over the temple's surface, about 10.000 (my estimate) are copulating: couples, threesome, foursome, hetero/homo and with amimals. The animal of choice is of course the monkey.Lions and elefants don't qualify for obvious reasons.
Well Thomas, I have to say that i love your portrait shots a lot. This one too. Maybe that they are unfamiliar (for me) due to a different country and therefore they are so interesting.
Anyway - perfect overall IQ. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Hi,
seeing this wonderful weather, I had to shoot some mocros of the blossoms of my almond tree. Ok with flash, one would not need sunlight, but I was feeling good.
The first one has been shot with 90 summi@f16, elpro3 and apo 2x extender on Canon 5DII.

Flat lighting in London? Hard to believe. Could you not wait for one of the eight or nine sunny days you get a year?
ah tell me about it, we maybe get a few more days of sunshine than that but they all seem to come on work days . I can be sitting in the office midweek looking out of the window at the great weather, but by the weekend it's gone dull and flat. Even if we had some stormy weather that would be interesting but dull and overcast really does nothing for my photographic ego.
what is the asking prize for a well preserved Summicron R 50/2,0?
I have an offer for a Leitax-converted one for Nikon. It comes with two elpros and an UVA filter. Not sure about the prize level though, I have not looked into Leica lenses much, but what you guys show here make want to get one!
is it different enough from a Zeiss ZF 50/2,0 Macro-Planar, to own them both?
Does any of the wider aperture lenses work on a Nikon? Is it true that all Summilux lenses won't work (Leitax-converted for Nikon)? I am more interested in one of the faster lenses, rather than another 50/2,0.
