Goat Spotting by unoh7, on Flickr
I was on my way home yesterday and saw this guy, aiming up here:
goat world by unoh7, on Flickr
He had one just visible near the top on the high left. A crop:
Mountain Goat Range by unoh7, on Flickr
You can't see him there, they like it because the wind blows the snow off and they can graze. Today I brought up the 500/4 with a 1.4x. It was windy with the clouds whipping and I did not think I got anything until I got home:

Can you spot him?

Hi Werner, did you correct for geometric distortion at all? The samples I've seen from the Vario-Elmar-S have been very impressive in terms of lack of distortion, as is yours.

The fog rolled in this morning as I rolled out of bed, grabbed the M246, and headed for the beach.

No correction needed in this one.
So far i am very pleased with the Vario. An excellent lens, i got for an excellent price.
There is a little bit of distortion but even in this geometrical pic not really visible.
Cheers

Adam, I've been very surprised at the continued premium price of the MM9 used. I was really expecting the used prices to soften a bit and it simply hasn't happened.
Anyway, wonderful work everyone!

Great images guys!
They are building a new bridge near us and today I realized the area was not sealed off as it usually is. So here's a preview of our new bridge

Yes, prices for the MM9 are good. Funny thing, after looking and looking for great deal. I finally got offered a very attractive deal on an MM9, but it was to late I had the M246 already.
No worries anyway, I'll see how the M246 suits me. If I'm not keen on black and white, someone on here will get a good deal on the camera!

Adam,
Congratulations on acquiring the M246. I look forward to reading of your experience with it, and seeing the results.
