Frank ended up with two boxes, but only 1 Nokton 50/1. I have the other ...

one and only, maybe, but two of them?  :) :)

Akira:
 ;D

Do you share my objection to the title of the movie Speed? It had a director. If it had direction then it should have been called Velocity.

I always appreciate and admire the strictness of the scientists and reserchers.  In addition, if you would tolerate my ambiguous opinion against my comment immediately before this (!), "Velocity" sounds more exciting than "Speed" as the title of the movie I acutally saw!

Frank's recent visit made a dent in my banking account due to the allure of the Voigtländer 50mm f/1 Nokton lens, and flat-lined my car battery ... not sure how he managed that  or was he innocent? We'll never know. Anyway, my car had to be kickstarted to drive to the repair shop and a friendly mechanic stepped in. i snapped a picture in IR. Not very exciting of course, other than the IR very clearly shows how stained and dirty his *jet black* T shirt really was :)

Pinks go well with pale greys and even paler greens :) Nice attempt, Fons.
