Many years ago, I owned a Contax G1 with 3 lenses. I loved the camera but focusing issues, which are common with the G1, made me sell it. Those lenses, though, were spectacular. And, the very last film camera I owned was a Bessa R3A with that wonderful 40mm lens. Seeing your photo brings back good memories... :cool:

The 90mm is definitely hard to focus, but fortunately I intend to use that lens mostly for landscapes at infinity. The 45mm has always focused correctly for me. I’m hoping to add the 28mm soon and see how it fares around f/8 at hyperfocal distance for street/documentary shots during my work travels.
