50mm classic heliar with R-D1

[scho]

I just got around to doing some shooting with the 50mm Classic Heliar on my R-D1. I was pleased with the image quality, despite my pesky rangefinder alignment problem (can't focus on anything more than 50 ft distant before hitting the infinity stop). Here is the first of five shot with the heliar:

I added a grayscale conversion of one of the Heliar images. I really like the new CS3 for R-D1 RAW conversions (using ACR 4) and the grayscale conversion algorithim that they ported over from Lightroom.
