Reading this old thread I just wish all those old image links would still work. Especially @Erik van Straten's film work is always a treat (when the images show).

This one is not visible for me. Maybe it's better this way because seeing the photos makes me seriously consider looking for one myself (the modest chrome version that is).

I don´t know why the rangefinderforum does not show my pictures in this thread. Maybe someone can do something about it.

Ah, it works!

The chrome version is not as sharp as the black version. The black version is however very rare.

I have one of these V1 lenses, maybe I should get it out and try it on my A7Riii to see what it can do.
