Sorry for repost, it originally posted, then messed up (?) then disappeared, and back again..
Unfortunately during my recent trek to Cleveland, not only did my Polaroid 350 shots on Fuji FP-100C mess up (they stuck together and got ruined), My M6 also suffered from the cold—freezing up the film transport and causing me not to be able to shoot.
Now i’ve discovered my newly acquired Nikkor also has bit the cold. It’s been taken away now, and replaced with something I was shocked was offered to me!
A 1976 Leitz Wetzlar Leica Summicron 50mm f/2, Type III.
That was mostly unexpected.
Now back to normal service.

Here’s the photo I entered into the GAR foundation where it will be sitting til December.
Glad to see the person who occupies this office space enjoys it!

Fences edge, surprisingly I do think the bokeh is smoother.

Never noticed the strikethrough option til now!
Also, this is the first colour shot i’ve taken with the Nokton 40mm f1.4 MC (multi-coating, helps resist flare and increases contrast/saturation slightly), it’s really, really, making me considering putting the Cron on the chopping block.

I recently picked up a 21mm f/4 Voigtlander Color-Skopar Leica M-Mount lens the past weekend. I got it with the intention of seeing how I like wide-angle shots. I must say, this lens is no slouch. Even though it’s got an f4 maximum aperture, the photos are crisp and wide with lots of detail, and for the money, this is a great lens. It’s compact nature allows me to carry it as I would with my 40mm f/2 Summicron-C, and it uses the same filter sizes and cap sizes. Let me know what you think of the photos!
