My RZ67 65mm and 90mm lenses arrived, and both are beautiful, which takes a little off the pain of paying more than absolutely necessary (only about 150 each). I also bought a Polaroid back, and surprisingly it came with a little FP100C in it, so tomorrow I will probably make some shots with it. I am toying with the idea of starting (or locating an old) medium format film thread, since I am basically uninterested in 135 format film stuff.

Tamron 70-300 f4-56 VC.
It's very good lens, very sharp, VC works very well but I bought it for walk around long lens that's lighter than my 100-400 but I still always reach for the 100-400 and it's just setting in by bag.

Contax G45/2. It will be converted into Leica M fit for use on my M8 and also on a 5N with M-Nex adapter. The conversion is available as an eBay service.

+1000 which seller? As I did a search last week...
Seller jieying-usa
here's a link to my purchase - http://tinyurl.com/bv52eqm not cheap, but I didn't know that Jim Buchanan did the conversions and I knew that sebboh was not in the market for production!

I've heard about these ones, with the focus ring next to the camera vs. like the one Jim posted a pic of, I think I'd prefer the conversion in Jim's picture.

Here's two lenses I recently picked up. First two images are a Contax Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 MMJ, and the last is a little old Olympus OM 21mm f/3.5, single coated.
In the second photo, the VSonnar is supported by a Hejnar long lens rig that's currently setup for a Mamiya 645 A 200/2.8 APO. Fortunately, it looks like the same setup can serve for both lenses.
I have Leitax mounts on the way for both of these lenses.

I just ordered Mamiya RZ67 50mm ULD for my landscapes, I know it's not a Zeiss but I saw some very good images from it and maybe it's the only WA has ULD, so I decided to jump in.I will DIY the mount for Sigma or maybe for Canon also (FFD = 105mm).The image is borrowed:

I got a mechanically ugly m645 80mm f1.9, its been relubed and sadly the aperture is not in that great shape but it was local. Seems perfectly sharp enough though.
