I haven't been that active in december as I had hoped I could be, partly because I finally bought new computer parts and put everything together and tested it. I have taken some photos while building it:

Taken with K-S2 and DA 50/1.8 @ f/1.8, 1/60 s
I developed those with DxO Photolab and cranked the CA correction sliders all the way up because there was quite some colour visible where it shouldn't have been. I think I did not remove it from the first picture, though, as there are some green halos still very visible on the edges


Cooler Underside with Sticker


CPU in Socket

The amount and distribution of the thermal paste seems excessive compared to what is usually recommended for other coolers, but it's exactly as recommended by the cooler manufacturer

Heatpipes with Thermal Paste Applied

Being a little concerned with the sheer amount of thermal paste I took close looks all around the mounted cooler, but this view nicely shows that most of it will have done its job of filling in the little gaps between the heatpipes, with the mounting pressure of the cooler pressing out all excess to the side. The picture is taken from the side that showed the most excess looking out.

ok - needing the group's opinions/experience:

Cosina Topcor 58mm f1.4 (M42) - I know it's a remake of the old RE Topcor 58, etc... and the basis for the Voigtlander Nokton 58/1.4...

anybody use one, buy one, sell one?
