Dan,
Your flower shots are beautiful and I particularly like the bokeh with the 45 f/2.
Hi Dan,Thanks for your kind words! I do enjoy these two lenses quite a bit. About to head into the gray months up here in the Northwest pretty soon . . . . .

Thank you Leica & Klaus for your kind comments, they are appreciated!These are great examples Dan and I especially like the Sonnar vs Planar comparison. I've always been a a Sonnar fan for its bokeh.

Brewer Fountain ~ Boston Commns
The fountain was a gift to the city of Boston by Gardner Brewer, which began to function for the first time on June 3, 1868. It is a copy, in bronze, of a fountain designed by French artist Liénard [Jean Auguste Edouard Liénard, most likely]. The fountain was sculpted for the Paris Word's Fair of 1855 [Exposition Universelle de 1855], where it was awarded a gold medal.
The great figures at the base represent Neptune [Roman god of water and sea] and Amphitrite [Greek sea goddess], Acis [spirit of Acis River by Roman Poet Ovid] and Galatea [Roman sea nymph]. The fountain was cast in Paris, brought to this country, and set up at the sole expense of the public-spirited donor. Copies of iron were made for the cities of Lyons and Bordeaux; and an exact copy, in bronze, was made for Said Pacha, a late Viceroy of Egypt.
Life is Grand!

Welcome to the "Fun with Contax G Lenses on m43 Club"! We would like to see more of your fine images captured with your Contax G lenses! Best,I just got my contax adapter in the mail. I waited four weeks. Testing it today, but here it is on the camera. I loved my Contax g1 with the 35. I can't wait to shoot with this lens again.
