One week, one camera, one focal length.

[Erik Lund]

The lens hood comes right off the 16mm lenses, there is a small lock ring that is easily removed, the outer one as I recall.

Thanks for the portrait Bjørn!

You'd have to strip out the mirror and make the 16 fisheye lens sit partially in the mirror box.  You'd then have a Pentax 6x7 mirrorless/fisheye camera, albeit for film only.  Kind of like a Hasselblad Superwide arrangement.

I used to shoot the Pentax 6x7 with the 35mm 4.5 fisheye, ok great shots!

It all comes back: the Pentax 6x7 was out because of back focus. The 16/2.8 could see the Linhof Technikas's box frame and dropped bed. I night install the lens on a Karden 45 lens board and spring back on a Karden standard frame. Then I'd need a pistol grip. Something tells me there was Linhof "Handy" ?? for $$$ that was what I described above. Finally I need a shutter for the 16/2.8 AIS.

Dave who is frustrated again

Sorry about spelling: this phone thinks when I type Karden I mean garden, etc. It's driving me crazy!

Back to main subject - Now on biz trip with Df and Summicron, nothing else. Let us see...

I hope this is alright to add some content to this thread ? I have spent the past week using only the 105 f1.4 E, these are images from my home town which is again a challenge to seek something interesting/different in a familiar location.

Lovely series Jaques. I really like #2 with the backlighting and evaporations which accentuate the cold morning.
You clearly enjoyed the week with your new lens.

[Airy]

Great shot with the veteran.

Concerning the subject, which I finally illustrated with fresh photos, I put my series in the "from Fulda with Summicron" thread. So yes, it was the Summicron R. It is OK to spend a few days with it, or more, provided you are not doing event shooting, or not trying to portrait kids or pets.

Last weekend we traveled to Germany to visit a medieval market in Esslingen. Unlike normal I didn't pack the Fuji and 23mm (35mm FOV) but decided to give the 16mm f/1.4 (24mm FOV) a try. It turned out to be quite a good lens to have in the masses. Even at f/1.4 it has a bit more DoF than the 23mm. In the evening many photos have been shot fully open and at ISO 3200. Your critiques are welcome:

Nice pictures Jaques and Daniel Great variation even if only one focal length are involved. The veteran shot is a nice portrait. I also like the shot from inside the food court. Potatoes might be enjoyed in several ways.

[elsa hoffmann]

oh my hat how stunning. Aerobat - the first image is inspiring. but so are the rest

[aerobat]

Thanks Børge and Elsa for your kind feedback.
Still same weekend, same camera and lens - totally different subject.
The car was parked between two buildings and there was little room for playing with angles.

Is that Bjørns little red car

[Frank Fremerey]

A really adorable collection and another argument for the lens I have on order...

Here are my favourites:

the 105 f1.4 E

Thanks Frank & Aerobat, I am never sure if my random subjects find much favour here so your comments are very encouraging, I carry the camera with me at all times resulting in the randomness of my images, they are just what I observe on my daily leisure travels, the benefit ? of being retired
