Hi Carl,
Two beautiful IR images! Best, Leica 77. :)
+1!

Lovely shot of the six mile creek! Nice job stitching the photos . . . . .

Keep 'em coming!

Thank you Leica77 and Dan. The automated photomerge function in CS5 is so good that stitching is almost effortless. If you need big 20-40 MP files for large prints these 12 MP Gs can easily produce the high res files from 2-4 stitched files.

Blueberries are behind schedule this year in the Northwest due to the weather we have had this spring and summer. . . . . . but they are here now!

Here is a mountain picture from Sunday (Contax G 45mm). Not sure whether the tones are too light or too dark, because I developped the picture on my laptop and depending upon the inclination of the screen, they can look either way.




The 45mm gives me much sharper pictures than the 90mm. Not sure whether it is the lense itself or the difficulty of focusing with shaking hands using the pens.

And well here is a fireworks picture. Of course it would have been better if the fireworks weren't masking the second castle, but my window stands where it stands and there were not many other framing possibilities.

Annna,

A beautiful shot of the fireworks in Sion and nice image of the rugged mountains. I have friends living near the little village of Arbaz and have visited your beautiful region a few times.

Hi Carl,

Thanks for the kind words. Few.. you have friends living in Arbaz ? the world is really small. I thought that I was living in a lost hole..

Really superb images that you have shown in this thread! Any chance of seeing some color images from the 35/2 ? This is the first Contax lens that I'm probably going to buy, along with the latest Kipon ring-focus adapter, to use on EP1.

Hi Owen,

I posted a few color images taken with the 35/2 in the following thread and Robert (Monza) also has some superb color shots taken with the 35/2 in the same thread.

Hi Carl,
Thanks, very much, for providing the link to those 35/2 images! I actually read that entire thread from start to last, over the weekend, but did not retain that there were color 35/2 images to see, again, therein. They are exactly what I wanted to see. Thank you for putting these up for all to view.
I also noted, that on that page of your photos you had mentioned ordering the "monza" adapter. May I ask, how you are getting on with this one?..if indeed this is the very one that you are using, still.

Thanks,
Owen

I am still using the monza adapter with my 90mm lens, but also use a Kipon (geared thumbwheel version) with my 28, 35, and 45 lenses. You might want to check the posts in the adapter discussion thread for additional comments about the performance of the two adapters.

Wow Carl, that's some depth of field in that shot.
Jeez, it's almost like even the area behind the camera is in focus! :clap:

Thanks retnull. Focus was on the ducks at f/8 and distant shore (cropped out) was not in focus so DOF actually not that deep.

Both bokeh and colour are fabulous! I am looking forward to my adapter for a 35mm on a NEX.
