Dentist? No. I would have thought my obsession over technical matters would surely have shown that I'm an engineer.

Next to the M9 + the new 90 Cron AA is my next most recent alt purchase, the Leica M6, mounting here the older pre-ASPH 90 Summicron (V3):

The middle one, the 90 V3 is 30 years old and still a very nice lens.


Are you going to keep both 90mm lenses? Just wondering

For now, but I'll probably sell the old one at some point as I doubt it will see much use. I'm likely to get rid of the 75 Cron ASPH at some point as well as I'm not particularly fond of it and I've kept it mostly out of stubbornness.

Why dentist of all the professions in the world? Why not lion tamer?

My money was on dentist, too.

Sorry, Luka, just pulling your leg. Dentist connotations were a long-running joke on the Leica forum of photo.net (RIP).

Hehe, well, it sort of makes sense, albeit that particular stereotype was probably more accurate a couple of decades ago. I'm guessing dentist today opt for a DSLR

That's a beauty! Will you post some shots soon?


Turnaround will be terribly slow. I haven't received the 135 yet as it is receiving a CLA. My exposed 4x5 frames are sitting in film boxes waiting for my CPE2+ to arrive. I will start developing when the only chemical seller in Australia gets more E6 chemistry. Please don't hold your breath.

My latest alt purchase was the Nikon 85/2.8 PC. You may think it's not alt but it is for me. You see, I shoot Canon.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Let go of a couple more Canon lenses to fund more Zeiss glass. Picking up the ZE 35 f/2 and 85 f/1.4 again. The 35 I am very comfortable with and got tons of stellar results with, the 85 I am looking forward to learning how to master. I didn't get to spend enough time with it before I sold it last time.

Just in:
OM 21/3.5 Super-Tak 24/3.5 Hexanon 28/3.5


Edit:
The 21 has very minor flare and only when the sun is near the edge of the frame, I'm going to love this lens.

Tak 24, my fears are confirmed, mirror hit @ infinity, but backing off a very little cures it, also handles flare very well, it should be a fun lens.

And now a little show&tell
The Om set:

Next: macro lenses, 24 mc, 85, 100


Tak set:

Next: S-M-C versions of the 28, 50/1.4, 55/1.8, 85

Hey, that's Bifurcator. He probably actually bought all of those.
