Biogon T* 2,0/35 mm ZM - my first roll with it

[klapka]

Have just scanned the first roll shot with my new Biogon 35 f2 ZM (M6 TTL .85). It is an Ilford PAN400 in D-76 (stock).
Wonderful lens! Going to become my favourite 35 mm FL lens. Would like to share some pics from this roll:

I also have 4 more rolls with this lens exposed in color, but have not scaned them yet, just this first b&w.

So, I experience so much enthusiasm about this lens (about 2 rolls a day) that would be very happy to hear other happy/unhappy (how might it be, I wonder) Biogon 35 f2 owners and of course, it would be great to see pics.

Beautiful series. Thanks for sharing.
#4 is my favorite. 🙂

Some great shots. I love the lens and should use it more. Here is one I recently took....

It's always interesting to see portraits from a wide lens properly handled. It's so easy to get it wrong. You did quite well on all of them. That Biogon looks great. Nice micro-contrast on the faces. I'm working to get better with my own new 35mm lens. Hope I can do as well with mine someday!

Whitecat, thanks for sharing a color picture - looks great, hope my color negs will be at least half same good (will likely find it out tomorow..)

Thanks, I must say I use the lens with Neopan 400 also and get some really creamy blacks. I use D 76 1:1. Let's see more!

Nice shots, and I agree it's a fantastic lens. Here are a few Tri-X shots I developed yesterday.

It's a sweet lens. I enjoyed mine while I had it.

I love my biogon 35 and especially the contrast and colors it gives!

Wow, nice! I love the snow shot. I was looking for that one lens when my M6 arrived. After alot of researching in this forum, I got the Biogon 35mm f2 and never look back.

Thanks a lot. I've been shooting quite a bit with the Biogon lately and it's always a pleasure.

I chose a ZM Biogon 2/35 for my first, and only, M-mount lens. I think it's terrific and never had a complaint...in fact, I extolled it's virtues on many threads. 🙂

Ok, have scaned the first color roll. Not bad, I think the Biogon did just what I expected:
