That's much better. Well seen in the first place and a great result.

Lovely crisp shot. I tend to agree with Nigel over keeping it isolated.

Like was said earlier, if you just want to see the image in a bigger format then a field monitor is ideal. I can't peer through the viewfinder for long and so I use one for macro shooting. It takes the place of the camera screen in live view.

Very nice, strong composition.

You certainly posted this earlier - I saw it last night. I too have posted comments only to have them totally disappear. I'm a lot happier now I know it is happening to others. I feared I had said something I should not and it had been deleted!
As to your problem with the screen, can you put a towel over your head and the camera? I do this now and then to see in Live View.

Trouble is, whenever something acquires 'cult' status it becomes an object of attack and consequently, something to defend vehemently. We should be pleased that our cameras have achieved such status. The others don't appear to have done so irrespective of their various and unarguable merits !

Yellowing and thorium aside, the f1.8 version takes magnificent pictures. The only thing that detracts (vs modern lenses) is the lack of auto focus. As I said, my copy is really beaten up but the glass is superb.

One thing you didn't mention (maybe it only affects the f1.8?) is that there is a thorium doped lens in there which yellows with age. The usual windowsill and sunlight treatment clears it. If you use them on a crop frame (e.g. K5 or K3) you can use the 49mm screw-in hoods without problems. My f1.8 is a venerable, battered copy which still performs faultlessly.

Entertaining, educational and a delight to see things and places we probably won't otherwise. Thank you Bill.

You can certainly imagine a huge print of No.1 hanging on someone's wall. The tonal transition is excellent.
