Heliar Classic 50/2 with R-D1

[KEH]

This morning was the first real opportunity to test out the new lens. A little soft at F2 (I think, but it could be my focus), but very sharp thereafter. Very resistant to flare, and wonderful colours. Here is an example:

The first 5 images in my gallery are from today, numbers 2-5 are shot through glass, which limits the contrast somewhat. Hard not to feel enthusiastic...

By the way, anybody know how to fix the link to my gallery in my signature? - seems to have broken over the last month or so.

Cheers,
Kirk

Nice DOF and color.

The wheels fell off my Gallery link in my sig also. I had to go into the USER CP and "edit signature". Then cut out the old link and make a new link with the buttons.

Did you get an R3M or an R2M? What are you going to do with the camera?

Thanks Mark. It's a black R2M, absolutely beautiful. But I will probably never shoot film again.

Stephen will be selling the body only for $600, so PM an offer if you are interested.

So Mr. Gandy offers a consignment service?

Hi Chris - sorry if I was a little obscure. Just wanted to give an idea of the price that CQ will be charging for body only.

Cheers,
