i Love C-Sonnar 50/1.5

[Richard G]

Beautiful JLN, especially the shot with the boy and the bicycle. You are so right about the middle range apertures, an under-appreciated aspect of this lens: f5.6 is gorgeous.

Thx Richard. The boy with bicycle is shot at f/4 and that other pic at 5.6
My sample seems to be spot on at 2.8 and slightly front focusing wide open (min focus distance).

Just got ZM C Sonnar and shot first film roll with it (M6 body). This lense rocks even with mid apertures. Don't regret selling my cron-m 50 v4...

This is not near Sofia Kyrka in Stockholm, isn't it?

Quite close ;-)
This is near Porvoo Cathedral (in Finland) about 500km east from Stockholm

ok, 500 km, but at least it' s Skandinavia !

Thinking it over:
Circumference of the world is 40000 km, so 500 km makes only a 1,25% differnce. Yeah.

Leica M6, APX-100, 50mm C-Sonnar, Rodinal. Obviously a small aperture and thus doesn't show off the Sonnar's signature look.
