Thanks, Dave. Yes, it was handheld, at probably 1/15 or 1/8, with the lens wide open. I took a deep breath, and said OMMMM very quietly as I pressed the shutter.

Nice one, Greg! Very "New Topographics"-like, IMO.

The 25mm Skopar is by far my favorite street lens, either on my M2 or my NEX 3. On the NEX it makes for a nearly perfect pocketable (if you have largish pockets) hip shooter. If you could turn off the LCD to save power it would be perfect.

took the train out of town into the black forest yesterday to shoot a roll of apx100 with the iiif, the skopar 25/4 and the "new" leitz red filter i found in a local camera shop last week. it was fun though i'd hoped for more dramatic clouds - maybe next time...
developed in rodinal 1+50, by the way.

Love this Thread & ALL its Photos

NeeZee ... LOVE your last shot in particular
did the 25/4 color skopar come in Screwmount...Silly Me thought it was an M mount lens

[NeeZee]

thanks a lot, helen!
actually the original cv 25/4 was a screwmount lens (kit lens for the bessa l) - the cheapest modern lens you can get (used) for ltm actually and definitely one of the best.

I just picked one of these up. I am very excited to try it. Can any one offer some tip on focus with the detents?

Thanks
Joe

Joe, congrats first of all. i have shot about 5 rolls with it up to now and have to say that it's really hard to get something out of focus with this lens. mostly i just leave it on the 3 metre click stop and f8-11 and switch to 1.5 metres for closer stuff. it's really easy.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot. Btw, your pics with the lens look great.

A fun lens, and very sharp. I should use it more often.
