Oh thank you very much! I love the colors on your work, somehow E-P2 has drawn me into black and white again, even thou it provides amazing colors. Somehow it has made me see in black and white again.

Dan, do you use a tripod with the Hektor? I find it difficult to hold it still, perhaps it's my advancing years.

. . . . . with the GF1 all the shots I have taken have been hand held. There have been a couple of days I did wish I carried a monopod or light weigh tripod. At 58 the eyes and hands are not what they used to be so I can appreciate aging with a camera requires some forethought and grace . . . . .

Dan, I like the way the Kinoptic rendered the roses, but I'm not fond of that unsettled further background look. The 45mm Planar is simply incredible wherever it's used, and the colors are glorious. :)

Thanks for your comments Doug.

The Zeiss Planar 45/2 and Zeiss Sonnar 90/2.8 are both fantastic lens and work well with my GF1. Bokeh is definately produced differently with various lenses. I enjoy the bokeh produced by the Kinoptic lens quite a bit, and even though the 45/2 & 90/2.8 produce a different bokeh effect I love them as well.

Here is something from the 90/2.8

It might sound like a dumb question, but what exactly is a legacy lens?

I am really curious to know, as I hear this thing a lot on different fora.
 
Yes. and Yes.

. . . . . not sure of the official definition but any lens that is built to be used on another camera system, usualy film vs digital would be considered a legacy lens.

Others may have a different definition.

. . . . . love the bokeh from the 50mm Nokton btw . . . . .
