Vince, I'm still not sure what the background is here ?
It of course is essential for the entire effect and magic of this shot but what is it? Natural fog, artifical fog / smoke, fire ?

And a few new ones (all 50 Planar):

It's from a smoke machine -- this circus is only a small, one-ring affair, so I'm sure they use anything they can to heighten the drama.

Not sure, if I posted some of these already - used the Hologon a bit last Sunday:

and two portraits with the 50 Lux E46:

Really nice Dirk and worth seeing again if you've already posted them.

Allen, you captured her smile, natural...

Just purchased one.. On Tuesday will be mine.. pffff CAN'T WAIT!

Love your work but I'm wondering.. is better to use old lens? Because the contrast... I decided to buy the Cron 28 (which I believe is one of the top 3), and I Don't know if sell the lux asph 50 and buy again a Sonnar.. or what!

Cheers!
