   mmm….I think this is my favourite Peter! The first profile portrait and the second both very nice….but this has got something about it.

      Thanks Andrew, I know what you mean.

   You are killing me with these B/W images. Now I am lusting after a monochrome and whatever lens this is

      LOL!

      The lens costs less than the Monochrom battery.

         I am sure you could take a great photograph with a Lego camera, but darn, those are some gorgeous pictures my friend

            That’s very kind of you to say Steve – thank you.

            I will tell you though, that this lens costs less than the tiniest box of Lego.

            (sorry, I can’t help myself)

   Superb. One for the wall. Not that you have any space left. 🙂

   If I ran a photo competition, I would ban you from entering. It would piss off almost every other entrant.

      Thanks!

      In actuality, I’ve been (off-the-record) banned from a certain famous photography contest. It has to do with my opinions.

         Really…wow! Regardless of “sensors” Peter you area a great supporter of Leica.

            Yes x 2.

         I’m happy not to go into it (because I am sure you don’t!), but I do want to express my regret. So much for ‘diversity’.

         BTW, I’m going to be brave and guess two things about this lens:

         It’s an SLR lens
         It’s a rangefinder lens, significantly longer than 50mm (such as, oh, a Steinheil 135/4.5)

         1. 

            Bold guesses. Interesting.

   Very delicate. The fact that it was made with a “bargain” lens, too? Just adds rhyme to already lovely poetry.

      Thank you Karen. In this case, the monetary value of the lens in question doesn’t reflect it’s true value (to me).

   silent poetic grace..wow! (no more words)

   AH, I see you are discovering the huge value of older lenses on the original MM. Great capture, regardless of lens choice….
