Another thing that my clinical eye has noticed about this photograph, is that it lacks significant geometric distortion. This means that the lens is very well corrected for distortion!! Look at the diagonals (not the vertical because it is influenced by camera angle).

Well it seems I have another 35mm on my wish list.

Very impressive composition - and I love it to see an example of a zenit e shot. I own so many Zenits but I didn't have used one of them until last last saturday when I was on an abandond factory site. Now I am waiting for the results - hope they are as good as yours regarding light exposure. Do you have trusted the internal selen light meter?

BTW: I recognize your avatar for the first time - best one I've ever seen... Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Hello Michael, and thanks for you appreciation.

Yes, the licht meter is pretty good and reliable if we think about the technology used. Usually I am preferring this type of metering even is not so exact. I just maching the ring over the needle and I got the pairs of f stops/exposure times usabable for the light available at that moment. What I do not like are the exposure times because are too few - not like Praktica. I wonder where I could get a Praktica LB -in working condition-which is in fact a Praktica L with a selenium cell , like the Zenit E. The other thing I don't like is the lack of a split screen like the Zenit 122 has. But if you are paying more attention when focusing, than it isn't a really big problem.

Regarding the avatar, yes it represents my dream camera , a Zenit Ed (d from digital) - it is in fact a rebranded K100D Pentax, the dSLR I like most, except Pentax K10D/Samsung GX-10.

Thanks again and all the best.

PS: These are made with the same camera: http://forum.mflenses.com/viewtopic.php?t=628

And one more thing. I used to scan my negatives at a local lab. After that you can do with the images anything immaginable if you have a proper software. Even the GIMP cam make great processing on your pictures. So a overexposure or an underexposure isn't a really big problem (of course, if it is not exagerated).
Good luck.

I must confess I have cheated. I used a Zenit 11 because it has the E feeling - but otherwise a microraster with a ground glass ring. Very Happy

...and you can use the lens in AUTO mode. The E does not have the lever which pushes the diaphragm pin. So I make the focus and after I adjust the diphragm at the f stop I want to.

No problem. Smile The Zenit 11 (and EM / ET) is an E with these two features as a plus. Basicly they are the same. There is not even more difference between the Zenit cameras that have a TTL light meter.

All the best.
