doin' the trade...

I really like Gene's work with the Canons.

But I think he should do a pinhole project, too ... any camera he touches works really well.

ain't it the truth?!

Not yet, but I'm not surprised.

While the US is considered by some to be a 'superpower', US Postal is not 😀 At least not without Lance Armstrong.

I'll let you know when it gets here.

 

[back alley]

bummer.

i hope the parcel waiting is your lens. not sure what else it might be.

it's here and it's beautiful!!

the 28/1.9 from tom was ready and waiting for me to get it after work today. tom undersold it in that the lens looks completely unused. it's the silver version and looks right at home on the zi.

i did a quick line up with my 25/35/50 lenses and they are all about the same size with hoods attached. not too big at all.
i could not be more pleased.

Good for you, Joe! Roland and I were trading emails about this lens earlier today. I've only had mine for about a month and am really starting to appreciate it. Enjoy!

not so big

not so big

the lens really is no bigger than my other lenses for the zi.

in a row are...

25/28/35/50/90

Nice shots Joe (and I like your new avatar image). And I agree that the CV Ultron 28 isn't too big. But it is a fair bit bigger than the CV Ultron 35/1.7.

 

[back alley]

thanks randy.

it's bigger than the 28/3.5 too🙂

do you a filter on yours? i'm wondering about vignetting.
joe

 

[vrgard]

No filter on my 28. I figure that the hood provides all the protection I need.

 

[back alley]

that's an interesting avatar you have there by the way...😉

 

[rover]

I think I have a b+W filter for mine Joe, no problems.

 

[back alley]

thanks ralph.
not sure if i'm gonna use the uv's or not.

Yep, that's the doc doing some new wiring to get my head working right. 😉 But it WAS taken with a rangefinder camera so I figured it qualified for use on this forum. 😀

 

[back alley]

the top of your head looks like the general on stargate.
and mine too.

 

[vrgard]

Hey Joe, they only made so many perfect heads. The rest they covered with hair.
(an oldie but a goodie)

 

[ferider]

thanks randy.

No problem with a B+W 46mm filter, Joe.

Thanks, Roland, for getting this thread back on track! ;-)
