A little mension to the hexanon 85/1,8 (excelent konica lens).

The voigtlander dinarex 100/4,8 is a really very good lens too.

Summilux-M 75/1,4 (marvelous for me)

Sonnar 135/3,5 CZJ

Sonnar 90/2,8 for the Contax G

Summicron-M 90/2 (any version).

Regards.

Rino.

Right now, I have two that I use more, but I still like all of them :

CZ 28/2.0 and CZ 100/2.0

Somehow, I have the feeling that I could live with all but these two lenses...

welcome slungu!
with those 2 diamonds and the rest of your collection you don't need many others

The ones that see the most use at the moment are:

- Vivitar 2.0/28 (I am in love with this hidden gem!)
- Leica Elmarit-R 2.8/35 (as usual)
- Pentax-M 1.7/50 (as a very small but great portrait lens)
- and the Pentax 2.8/24 that I have on loan from a friend.

(35mm equiv. of 38, 45, 56 and 80mm - makes sense for what I mainly shoot at the moment, if at all.)

These are not my only favourite lenses, but the ones I use most often at the moment. In summer I am not in need of the very fast lenses and for some of the lenses that provide the best IQ (e.g. the Nikkor 1.8/85) I need the right situtation to shoot with.

Ah, and I try to learn about the character of the bellows/Wilon 105 combi...

The last girls I photographed were part of this ensemble of Ancient Dances, based in a small town in region Veneto:

The region of Veneto has the reputation of having the prettiest girls in Italy.

It's true, and if not true, I like them very much. When I can, I will go to

VENETO to see them Embarassed Twisted Evil

Thanks for the welcome Very Happy
Actually, while going out with wife and kid trough Frankfurt the other day, I felt the need for a little zoom, since changing between primes in the street while trying not to fall behind and keeping an eye on the kid seems a little bit difficult, so I'm out for the 35-70 or the 28-85.

the 35-70 is a superb lens. it doesn't give the blurred background of fast prime but it is small and the focal is good for full frame and even crop.
the 28-85 is big. it is a good lens but with some CA. I buy one for 300 euros but I don't use it a lot because of the size.
I advice you to first try the 35-70. You find them for 200-300 euros on ebay Germany and you can resell it if you don't like it.

click for 35-70 samples
click for others 35-70 samples
