A paean to the Zeiss Opton 50/2 Sonnar -- post your pics

[sparrow6224]

Has anyone here sung this song as yet? I recently obtained a Contax IIa and have the much lauded pre-war CZJ 50/1.5 and the less ballyhooed Zeiss Opton 50/2 (as well as a new Nikkor "C" 85/2 for Contax but more on that another time). I haven't put the famed 50/1.5 through its paces yet but the 50/2 is blowing my mind. So I shall post some pics. Why don't you post some too? These were all taken around my apartment building a week or two ago. Contax IIa, Zeiss Opton 50mm f/2 Sonnar, Neopan 400 processed in Xtol with a splash of Rodinal .
