You can also check my RFF gallery and my blog, because I mainly shot with Bessa and Nokton 50 (I think 70% of my stuff is shot with that combo). When I go wide I use a BessaL and Skopar 21 (...bought from my good friend Kully) and rarely an Orion 15 (28mm).

Is yours still stuck on your camera nico? Here is a pic I took with mine at max aperture. All the others I have taken at full aperture have been unuseably blurry. I had to apply a lot of sharpness filter to this one.

Beautiful portrait feenej,
yes the lens is still stuck, I'm going to finish the roll I still have inside to see if there are any problems more (like misfocusing or dust etc.) and then I'll bring it to a repair lab.
Out of curiosity how much contrast did you add (when I adjust the photos for being posted on the web I always add some contrast in PS)?

Thanks Nico. I usually just click on "instant fix" in PS. I guess it usually adds a fair amount of contrast. I have an old Poloroid SCSI film scanner that does a nice job, but I have to keep an old Sawtooth Mac around for OS9 and the SCSI connector.

Gorgeous portrait feenej.

I don't have many shots from this on Flickr... too much backlog
