Sunny day, Lion City, a Leica IIIF just sweet

[roundg]

shot with my new purchased IIIF RD ST (and thanks Youxin to bring it to tip top working condition) and a CV21. I am a 50mm person and never think I can handle ultra wide (normally I just stay too far away from the subject). But I must say the combo is sweet.

Thanks for viewing.

Very nice!

I've been wanting this lens for quite some time, now you are making it difficult to resist.:bang:

The 21/4 is a really good lens, and a beautiful combo with old little cameras, like your Leica, or my Fed-2

Thanks for all the kind comments. I think I will keep this cv21mm. (It's my second cv21. I sold my first one without shoot a single pic with it.)

I am very satisfied with the distortion control of the lens. As I know, this lens is a exact copy of Zeiss Biogon.

THe only complain I have is the color is some dull. Actually it's my complain on all CV lenses. I have owned cv21, 25, 35,50,90, almost all versions. And never been impressed by the way how they did with color. They are even on par with my old Minolta Mc/MD lenses. IMHO, CV lens are better shot with B/W.

After all, no one can beat the lens at the price. I paid USD200 for the lens without VF.
