A Sonnar Shot A Day

Photos from 11/23 - 11/30

With my son in technical college and too many other irons in the fire, this project has hit burn out a month early. I was going to go till 12/31 but I think I'll wrap it here since I'm getting too involved with playing with my Pentax kit and getting him to school on time. This is not to say I'll stop shooting my sonnars, just not be forcing myself to use them daily, and I'll still be using this thread as often as I can.

(the turkey thigh was thanksgiving day with the focus as seen via Mr Guinness' Stout... 😉 )

Gotta get out with the 50/2 collapsible again. It's calling to me...

Excellent!

Hey now, get the right gauss derivative (Summitar, Chiyoko Super Rokkar 50/2) and you can have some fun wide open. Not an exciting picture but it shows the OOF nicely:





Of course, it depends on your idea of a family sedan 😈 my mother owned a Sport Fury with a 383 & a four barrel and later a gold '77 Trans Am with the 6.6 liter V8 that I once used to make the run from downtown Minneapolis to Eau Claire, Wi in an hour and that was Canonball Run level insane.

My semi-hotrod V-6 convertible is almost tame compared to her cars 🤣

Went for a drive with the Zeiss collapsible on the M 240 this morning. Lots of odd exposures but eh, I had fun.

The collapsible's rendering looks as if it has reached the point where a good cleaning could be taken into consideration.

Bright flashlight doesn't show any haze. Just the light conditions, bloom, lack of coating etc.
