p.2 #1 · What is your most recent (alt) lens purchase?

Just got a C/Y 28/2.8 Distagon to use on my 5DII.

My Leitax mount should be somewhere over the Atlantic at the moment.

UPDATE: Leitax should be here Monday.

Well, it's not a lens, but just received a Rayqual Nikon-EOS adapter.
Now just need to decide which Nikon/Zeiss ZF/etc to get.

Currently thinking of ZF 25mm, the 'unfavoured' Zeiss that has a cult following by a few members here ;-)

Yashica 50mm 1.4...I love it! Also picked up a Montgomery Ward 28mm 2.8, which despite the branding is a pretty nice lens. It's growing on me.

C/Y 85f1.4 for my 5DMkII.
Haven't used it too much, but, from what I have used it for, I like it!
Wanting C/Y 35f1.4, or C/Y 100f2 next.
Though, wanting a Mirex t/s adapter and Mamiya 35Nf3.5 also.
And then there is the allure of the Olympus Zuiko 50f1.2...
TOO MANY to choose from!
Sigh, I want them all, and probably will, eventually...

I just found a factory refurbished Zeiss ZE 2/100 Makro-Planar for my 5Dmkii. A very nice lens, and at a significant savings.

Pentax Super takumar 135mm f/3.5 from the local Goodwill. Surprisingly sharp little beast.
OK bokeh, but what do you expect for $19....

Here's a wide open shot on my ol' 20D with a manual focus screen:

and it even looks sharp edge to edge on my 5DII:

Best,

The ZF25 is nice, but I'd also consider the ZF28/2, which will be more versatile.

I added three Carl Zeiss ZF glasses, 1,4/50, 2/35, and 2/100. I may have to sell them all for the new 1,4/35 if that lives up to its expectation.
