New CV 28/3.5 skopar & Canon 7

[Bingley]

After reading much praise of this lens from RFF members, I recently acquired a CV 28/3.5 Skopar, and took it for a spin at the San Jose Flea Market this past weekend. I really like this lens, and can't wait to try it w/ b&W film. Here are a few pix -- still feeling my way w/ this focal length. Comments & criticisms welcome. Incidently, I used my Canon 7 b/c I don't have an external finder yet. I used the entire viewfinder window to frame -- it almost covers the whole scene, and seemed to be good enough for fast street shooting.

Here are a couple more....

Yep, the 7 & a 28 is a good combo. I used to use my Canon 28/3.5 the same way. There really isn't that much difference in the whole VF & what an external will show. Just pick up an SLR, slap a 28 on it & look at what you can see...

As far as my eyes were concerned, I've yet to buy a 28 finder ... 🙂

Good for you. The first and second pictures show what happens when the camera is aimed downwards from the horizontal. In time you will learn to bend your knees a little.

Thanks. I will try this. I'm 6'1" tall, so bending the camera down from horizontal often happens w/out thinking about it.
