I want to share some resutls from the first (digital) roll, taken with the contax bellow lens S-Planar 100mm. Thanks to Klaus! Wink

Flower shots were taken with bellow on tripod, the cats were taken hand hold (with the bellow) and at f4.
The resolving power is great, would like to see it with a 5D mark II.

100% crop from the Tweek-shot:



Looks like it suffers from the upload, sorry.

Here's a link to the 100% jpg (2.8MB):

Thanks friends!

Yes, the flowers are few weeks old, but the cat shots are brandnew.

Trifox, thank you Smile, I prefer option 1, but don't forget your Mark II, the Distagon 35, Tessar 45 oh and your soap bubble recipe (they look much better than my bubbles) Smile

PS: for Orio, Senhor Gato (focus on the nose) Wink

Wow, sweet setup! Superb colors, sharp details, what more can you want?
The last cat with the unequal pupils, suffered head trauma?

I think the crop suffered from the upload/compression, take a look at the linked 100% file.

Katastrofo, I don't know, the pupil is damaged since he arrived at our house, two years ago. But don't worry, he's fine and he is a great hunter. Wink

Thanks for the great cat pics, I always love to see them!

Now I see Gato's problem - poor guy - he's a broken warrior
