The M 50mm 1.7 never fails to impress.

A fabulous piece of glass

Cuthbert

yes you are right

Thanks Nigel

a similar story this end. digital of course has its place but i am enjoying the creation of images right now. digital simply doesn't sing delight when you have that instant gratification.
The 30mm is a strange focal range i admit but they nailed this one when they made it. is it any wonder so many Sony mirror less guys are after them?

After waiting for an age for one of these rare lenses to come up on the bay, one of them finally surfaced last fortnight. £145 for an absolute minter optically but with a tiny ding on the filter thread. These are a selection of some of the shots that that came out of a couple of rolls.
The colours (when colour film is used) are superb and the bokeh aint bad either although I'm not one for shooting very wide.

Enjoy!
