The yellow contrasting against purple is particularly effective. Well done!

Very attracting colours!

Would You please give us a look to the combo, how You did adapt the lens to the Sony body?
many thanks
Thomas

hi Thomas, thanks much for your comment.
I've just bought this lens, so haven't figured out how to adapt it yet. This TEST shot was taken with a bellows and I just held the lens with my hand pressed to the bellows mount.

Thanks for answering!

I did some research:
there is a direct Retina to Sony adapter:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Voigtlander-Retina-DKL-Lens-to-Sony-NEX-E-mount-Adapter-fur-Alpha-A5000-A3000-7R-/161288335407?pt=DE_Foto_Camcorder_Objetivanschl%C3%BCsse_Adapter&hash=item258d88b02f

or as an alterantive solution there is a Retina to Nikon and Nikon to Sony:

and then Nikon to Sony:

Alternativ solutons for other mounts should be availiable....

Nice one, but I think the colors are also based on the chosen white balance
and this is quite a bit on the cold side (easily seen in the yellows).

thanks Klaus, the WB is ok, but I did lower the saturation of yellows in Lightroom, as they seemed to me a bit oversaturated. probably overdone Smile

This lens, as all Retina Schneiders, has huge depth of field. When fully open it produce a haze, but full of details image in landscapes. This effect disappears at f5,6.
Like all Retina lenses on full frame cameras, the corners of the pictures are blur, sizing aperture down can cure this problem.
