Adventures with ZM and CV lenses

[Amin Sabet]

Some fantastic photos are being posted in the user albums. Lets get a picture thread started here. Post something recent you've taken with a ZM or CV lens. Any place, any subject!

I'll start with a couple recent pictures of the place I work. Massive ongoing construction at The Johns Hopkins Hospital:

Here's the fine print (crop):

Across the street, homes are boarded up and deserted:

First was CV 35/1.4, Superia 400, second was ZM 50/2, Superia 200, both shot on the Ikon.

Joe, the Halo photograph is another very strong composition! The lady in the second one looks like she's going to knock your block off :).

Wow, nice big pics! Amin I like that second one; there's something about that boarded-up row house that draws my eye.
I guess I should look into using one of the photo-repository sites like Flikr.

Thanks Doug, and welcome to the forum! Flickr is great, but we also have plenty of storage here in the forum for you to upload photos to albums and/or post attachments.

Thanks for the welcome! I tried to attach two photos to my post but they failed to appear after the final step. I see this time it succeeded, so I must have made an error the previous try.
Here are two shots with Zeiss lenses: The color shot is the 28mm f2 Distagon ZK (and a big heavy lens it is) on a Pentax dSLR, and the B&W is the 35mm f2 Biogon ZM on a Hexar RF.
