Thanks to Andy who loaned me the Heliar 4.5/15 and Skopar 4/25, here's
a pic of the first lens I've tried, the Heliar 15:
and some test shots:
The first one I forgot to compensate for the extreme backlighting.

Attila, I LIKE it a lot! This was using very cheap Walgreens 400 film. I set

Patrick, thanks for your comment, "Andy B&W" is by far the best conversion
program I've used, my definite fave as well.
Poilu, thanks, these Bessa's are fun to use!
Jes, appreciate your comment!
Orio, yes, this is just my first roll, but had a lot of fun using this setup. Andy,
this is really pushing the upper limits of my honesty in returning these lenses
to you, I hope you're aware of that!
Here's a couple more, and I know I've beat the one scene to death with
various cams, but I think this one is the most due to the Heliar lens:

Bill!
FANTASTIC! These are so good, it just bowls me over.
The last three images, and most especially the first image of the fountain and stairs - is world class. BEAUTIFUL perspective, and what a way to USE the 15 as a great tool to bring about a photographic masterpiece.
Mighty mighty impressive. _________________

Larry, too kind, and high praise coming from you! Since this was the first
roll, I didn't know what to expect. I had a big fear that all would be out of
focus, but that wasn't the case.
Thanks again,

These look super William!
The 15 seems a nice fit for you.
It sure is great to see our group excited about this setup.
With all the focus and conversations on a wide angle option for Cropped DSLR cameras.
This option is a no brainer (which is handy for me ).
I'll PM you later if Su has access to another. She sent a email to her pop last night. _________________ Moderator |

Thanks, Bob! No, I'm a private contracter and work as a consultant for the
5-store chain. I have a shop in back of the main store, too, that I do warranty repairs, etc. The owner of the 5 stores just sold his 28 store chain
of Verizon wireless outlets, and wants to buy land and build another flagship
store. I get to design my own shop, but will be another year before that
happens, till the lease runs out on this one. |

Hi Bill
I get a feeling how you are enjoying 15mm from these photos.
It is the most important part of our photography, isn't it?
@Tokyo
From our hotel room seeing "Shinjyuku" area, this photo contains
at least 75 camera stores I am sure.
