And that RFFer would be me :D

Not kidding! Really, I did get first prize, just got the email. Doing a little dance here. I can choose a SLR or RF lens. I am thinking wide angle this time. ZM 21 f2.8 or ZM 18 f4

Thank you so much Carl Zeiss.

:D:D:D:D:D:D


ps. our good friend Nachkebia won it last time

I really want to show you the picture indeed I do! The thing is they did not tell me which one won the prize!

It was one of these three:

The first picture is stunning; my vote would go to that! The color and the light in that image are perfect. What was the equipment used in that picture?

Leica M6 TTL camera, Zeiss 50 f2 Planar ZM lens, Fuji Superia 200 film

I have a feeling it is the first photo too, the others while interesting....well lets just say my money is on the first one. Thanks for the comments though :)



So what you guys think? Is the ZM 21 2.8 a good choice? (not interested in the 4.5 because aperture is too slow for my style of shooting)
 
Damm way to go. I wish I had known about the contest. Oh well. You deserve it buddy. Well done, Colin.
 
The 21 2.8 is a great lens. You wont be unhappy with it. Congrats!

85 sonnar :p

While I'm at it, what do you scan your negs with? I've noticed a lot of your shots on superia look really really nice but I don't think I've read how you scan/process 'em.
 
Your photos have always been excellent, Colin. Congratulations on this hard to get award. I am glad that I got a Contax G1 with three Zeiss lenses in the mail! No clue how ZM and G1/G2 lenses compare though.
 
Way to go!!!!
I'm guessing the second photo won because it looks like the most likely to be published in a calendar or Zeiss promo material.
Congrats!
 
Congrats!!! I like the first and second photos and not to leave out the third...it would stand out more if not viewed with the first two...color vs b&w...
Question on the first photo...How long did you have to wait for this scene to come across your View??? Or did you just walk into it???
