First time user - I think I'm in love

[integrale]

I have had my Zeiss Ikon w/Biogon T* 35/2 for about a week and a half. I've shot one full film and I must say i love many things about this camera.

The handling is spot-on perfect for me: I use AE mode most of the time, select appropriate f-stop and all I have to do is concentrate on focusing and framing (the latter being quite easy with the enormous viewfinder).

Even though I have a fairly advanced DSLR (Nikon D700), I tend to use that in more or less the same manner (A-mode and manual focus) - it's just about 3 times the size of the Ikon...

This are my first "real" pictures. Snapped on the beach when walking the dog; CC is always welcome.

#3 - especially when ending up with B&W, the "look and feel" of film is very good (my oldest son and a friend enjoying a game of Wii):

Hi, i have the same outfit chrome one, can´t be more happy with it!
It´s so lightweight!
This last week end got my biogon 28mm all the way around, it´s viewfinder is the best part of it!

Nice shots! Cheers!

Thank you! I suspect there is a digital rangefinder out there for me in the future some time; M8 perhaps?

The ZI is my everyday camera. I typically pair with it a ZM 35/2.0, although every so often I will switch out the lens in favor of a 50mm (ZM Sonnar or the Planar).
