I like these shots. I just got a copy of this lens and have yet to try it except a very brief sharpness test wide open on my DSLR. From these shots it looks like it performs pretty well.
Thank you. I've had this lens for years and I also have the M 50/1.7. I honestly don't know which I like better. I find I generally like using the Centon for portraits and the Pentax for landscapes. While both are very sharp, The Centon produces nice greens and reds. You'll have to let me know what you think after a little use.

Will do. As there was no entry for this lens in the third-party DB, I created one, so you could add a review. I'll add a review when I have time to use the lens a bit and get some impressions.

Lomography Color Negative 100 is made in Italy, as far as I know there's only one film manufacturer there, so maybe the lomography colour negative films are the same as ferrania? Worth a try. I've tried the ISO 100 and I like the look, I plan to get some in 120 to try in the 645.
Probably Ferrania. My current stock came as house brand from Four Corner Store. They have since sold out and I would expect that the Lomography stuff may be short-lived as well since Ferrania quit making film some months back. Ferrania in 120? Now that sounds interesting. I am looking forward to seeing your results if you get some.

Thanks David.
Hope to see some 85/1.9 shots from you here.

Here's another from that same roll, this time shot by me.

This was from the waist, composed blind, guessed AF.
Very nice photograph, Colton... --and I am looking forward to the 85/1.9 view, and will comply, thank you! I want to ask what is he making...? I'm an architect, so it interests me.

Thanks. I thought your idea was a good one so I just completed a review with lots of pictures.

Very nice portrait. I love the smooth grain.

He is cutting a mortise in a timber for a mortise and tenon timber truss. I own and operate a small timber framing shop and he is one of my employees.

Here's a digital photo(I hope I don't get banned) of the project we're working on.

Digital! Very nice. I thought it was structural framing, and that's pretty special!

Thanks Jussi.

Nice self portraits

Fuji 160S sure is nice. Oddly, my first 35mm roll of it that I shot with my K2 didn't work out that well. I usually shoot Provia in my K2 and it meters great usually but for some reason that roll didn't come out very well.

Here's another from the roll.

PZ-1, FA 28-80 3.5-5.6, onboard flash for fill, and composed blind from the waist.
