Thanks Anirban.  Tested a number of lenses on the subject, but the Rodenstock 50/2.8 worked very detailed here. A great lens within it's limitations regarding the focus distance.

16.11. Afternoon.Shocking news.
The ex-renter of the garage I bought
to build a house there has done
welding work on a car stored there and
caused the whole thing to burn down
the police say. Gosh. The guy is now in
hospital having burnt himself too. 
I already have a court decision he has
to move out so I can tear down the
Garage and start building. No idea if
The thing goes faster or slower now...



I exchanged the picture of the garage with a nicer picture of some autumn leaves

thank you Frank, and good luck with your plans,
but #20 i dont consider a lucky number

What is a lucky number?
In Germany you do not have a choice of number. The city appoints the numbers. This lot was renumbered. The original number was #26

November 16th 2016  Grey and dark and wet, but not that cold any more.

The 50/1.8G brings some colour  

[John Geerts]

That's a colourful detailed leaf, Fons.

Good luck with the garage-plans, Frank.

I will invite you to Bonn when the building process is in a presentable state.

Currently planning is the state, then the building authorities have their say.
Then the bank will have their say. Inbetween the archeologists will have to clear
The site from Roman remains. Then the building process can start.

If I am lucky I see the first stone put into place in March 2016.
If I am not lucky it can take another 6 month to launch construction.

So I can use any luck and good wishes in the world for this multi dimensional task.

As a child I was always fascinated how a grey stone
turns into a wealth of colors when it gets wet.

Cold wet and colorful. That is how I perceive the
current state outside.

If I am lucky I see the first stone put into place in March 2017.
If I am not lucky it can take another 6 month to launch construction.

So I can use any luck and good wishes in the world for this multi dimensional task.

Thank you for the invitation Frank
