Nice shots. Like this Chair shot the most.:thumbs:Yesterday I took delivery of a 52 year old M2
Here are a few from the test roll of XP2 with low rez jpg scans by the local one hour lab, all with the 50mm Sonnar.

These are terrific Scott. Congrats on the new/old camera.Yesterday I took delivery of a 52 year old M2

I hope you'll be back in the thick of things soon. I had the same experience last year... crashed in mid-May, breaking my shoulder, collarbone and two ribs, plus the usual assorted road rash. I think the mental obstacles were the hardest to overcome. You'll get back, I'm sure.50Summicron(no long has it) with velvia 50
I put these two together to motivate myself. I was seriously injured last year and took entire year to recover. Now I am trying to start it all over again but having some metal obstacles. I am in serious bad shape. but starting to doing base mile,hopefully not too late for next season or even cyclocross.

XP2 and the Sonnar make a good combination! I love the atmosphere you've conjured in those two shots.Yesterday I took delivery of a 52 year old M2

I used to race, too, and never did come back from my last crash. Good luck and godspeed!50Summicron(no long has it) with velvia 50

Thanks Lloyd, Scott and Maggie.
Lloyd, I crashed in the second day of a 4-day race in mid-May last year... about the same time.
besides broken bones, I mixed with a few other internal injuries. Externally nothing except a few road rashes. If you saw me after the crash, you would find me looking fine compare to those from the say crash. blood everything on his jersey... aww. But I ended up laying in the hospital for a whole 3 weeks.
Scott, you raced in Italy? Were you living there at the time?
You know what? cycling and photography, a very common combo. at least for most of the people.
That does sound like a wicked crash. Truth is, I decided to stay more with triathlon because I was tired of crashing. Still happens, of course, but not with the frequency of bike racing. And I'm not exactly as young as I used to me. Best of luck on the come back.Thanks Lloyd, Scott and Maggie.

Thanks, Lloyd! I've been using the CV 15 as a 21 on my M8 for a while, but actually having the full 15mm FOV is really something else entirely. Something pretty cool.That's some impressive results, Maggie. I'm actually quite intrigued at the possibilities.
Yes indeed. I've used mine on the M8 also, although I bought the Milch filter adapter and for some reason still get some of the frame blocked by the filter. I'm looking forward to trying it on a film body.Thanks, Lloyd! I've been using the CV 15 as a 21 on my M8 for a while, but actually having the full 15mm FOV is really something else entirely.

That's weird- I use the Milich adapter too and haven't had any problems, except at first, when I didn't have it all the way on.Yes indeed.

I thought that was the problem, but I've tried repeatedly to re-seat it, and no go.That's weird- I use the Milich adapter too and haven't had any problems, except at first, when I didn't have it all the way on.
They're all nice, but I especially like these two. Were you shooting with a red or orange filter? The clouds are popping out nicely! I need to decide what superwide I'll get (if any).
Thanks, Mike! Nope, no filters at all on the lens. No real digital jiggery-pokery either- they pretty much came off the roll like that!They're all nice, but I especially like these two.

I really, really like these two! The fountain looks like it's spitting diamonds!So I headed out with some Tri-X Saturday night in order to get more test shots. Here are a few. The Sonnar seems to be performing OK (but what can you tell from mostly wide-open shots?).
These were all shot with an M2, at night, on Tri-X @ 1250 ISO. Souped in Diafine using the 3+3 protocol. Scanned with a PlusTek 7300.
