CV 75mm Heliar

[scho]

Anyone using this lens on an R-D1 (or M8)? Sharp images but with no 75 frameline with the R-D1 I've just been trying to center in the 50 frame. Sample:

Yep, I'm using one and do the same thing. I keep the RF patch where I want the center and guess. After using it awhile, it becomes 2nd nature and pretty accurate. I like the lens a lot. Use it on my M6 .85 frequently with great results. You could probably use a 90-100mm aux. viewfinder, but I don't find it necessary

Just bought one myself and tested it on one of my cats. Nice and sharp wide-opened.

I find the lens more impressive. Afterall, "Cest ne pas une pipe." I don't own this focal length, but this lens is highly regarded. This image is a stunning example.
