Early snow at Philip Island? 
I like it.
Ha! I have one of those 55 Industars, too
I spent 30 bucks on it, half for the two month trip from Ukraine, and I had high hopes, since a good copy is reputed quite sharp.

Sadly, my copy was not
I still have it somewhere, as of course it was not worth a return. Yours looks fine

Just have to let the Fuji stuff go first
It's about time I think
I found a XT2 for one of my clients who needs something lighter than her 6D, so I had to get up to speed on Fuji to help her with it. Fuji vs Sony is quite an interesting contrast. The "film simulations" tell me one thing: somebody on that team at some point had or studied the M9:
Red Dash by unoh7, 135/2.8
Above: Right out of the Camera and near oversaturated!!
Touch a slider in LR, and you often cross the "saturation line", so it becomes a battle to calm down:
White Black and Red by unoh7, 50cron
Red Pus by unoh7, 50cron
Now, is that pumpkin over the line?
PS: for those who don't care for ANY saturation, here is my fav BW shot of the day, with TE 90 thin on A7 Kolari

I think bright coloured plastics has always been hard to handle but that looks good to my eye, now here we didn't have any problem with saturation because today November introduced itself properly with a temperature just above zero, overcast skies, windy and the first snow of the season. And to make things even easier I used the MM
MM-246 and .95 Noctilux.

Too bad about your own Industar experience Charlie. Mine came included with pink and blue lens caps and a free set of extension tubes. It was advertised as NOS.

Joakim, I was scrolling up and predicted the author of your photos before I saw your name Very nice set.
Cvickery, lovely. Great fall feeling in BW.

These guys accosted me and demanded family photos:

For some reason I opened the aperture to at least F/4. Note to self: stop down when there are multiple subjects, and watch for blown highlights in the background

Thanks Charlie. More good Halloween shots!
I agree with your comments on joakim and cvickery's sets, and I loved your earlier S-006 apple still-life's joakim!
On another subject, despite loving my CV21/4 I recently bought a Contax G21/2.8 Biogon at a good price, and splashed out for the expensive Hawk's conversion kit.
I had previously owned and loved an LM-converted G45/2 (by Jieying - no longer available ) and I have a G90 that sits unused since I sold my Sony A7R. My experience with these G lenses and the reputation of the G21 led me to go for this expensive option (about A$1200 after shipping for both).
The Hawk's kit comes with ZERO documentation! The dull aluminium finish of the conversion components detracts from the lovely original G aesthetics.
After conversion I am most definitely not achieving infinity focus (without dof assistance) and have not used any of the shims provided in the kit, so I have no ability to move the lens assembly closer to the sensor. I shall contact Hawk but I'm not too optimistic at this stage. His documentation comprises this album, complete with a partial video that stops before showing the insertion of the optical cell:

My own photos of the process and some test shots showing the focus issue:

OK Joakim, now I think somebody has gotten control of your computer
But I know just how that person feels as the color is fast dying here too.
Las Dos by unoh7, 135 Elmarit
Looks like I focused on her sneakers OMG
But not bad for M rangefinder at 135mm and F/2.8
Best 350 bucks I ever spent on a lens. While this shot doesn't show the best of it's character, I have not seen or tried (I have 10) a 135mm lens I put on the level of this one for overall draw, Bokeh and performance. The only sharper 135 I have is the APO, which is very nice, and fantastic for long landscape. But the 2.8 option, which the elmarit can push all the way to infinity, and it's Mandler thing with backgrounds, the APO cannot touch.
Goggles........just the sign this thing is meant for business!

It's most like the 75 Lux, but smoother yet....maybe

Great 35mm shots from Calgary!
Here's a pano I made from 3 originals, using Summicron 35 Type 1 on my M9. The Flickr upload contains a 2400w original although I think I have limited downloads to 1280.

Well my work is going to be distinctly devoid of color for a while (unless I shoot color film that is). Monochrom incoming!
