Nice Ray! Congratulations on the new acquisition!

Stunning photos. I especially like the third one (second from bottom). I suspect the photographer has something to d with that, but will give some credit to the lens too.

Thanks, guys. That one is my favorite, too.

That appears to be one contrasty lens.

My favourite too! Well seen.

Fab pix, Ray, just lovely.

Is that the lens that's supposed to be the sharpest ever? Sure looks hot from these pix.

Thanks, Phil. Yes, according to pop photo, one of the sharpest they've tested. Erwin Puts had good things to say about it as well. They're very hard to come by in LTM mount, though, as the lens was only sold as part of their Heliar 101 Bessa T kit. It is readily available in Nikon S mount (in fact, I think it is on sale at CQ).

You shouldn't show these pictures, they make me lusting for that Heliar...
