I have a Tair 11-2 at home, one of the sharpest lenses I own. But it's part a 0-series, so I don't know if the quality is representative. Looking forward to see some results.

Michael

I'm very happy to see those photos here, because it shows how usable my favourite lens is for portraits. They are fantastic, thanks for sharing.

Michael

*wow*, even if I am no cat lover, I like the last one very much. Like an old painting.

Michael

I agree to all those comments: wonderful toning and No. 3 is an impressive example for an interesting street shot.

Michael

Wonderful shots, Maxim. My favourite is the last one - I'm wondering what is waiting behind the corner. Fascinating and much depth.

AF-MF: 60-40

Same reasons like lahnet mentioned. If you will miss the point during a wedding it's over. No second chance. So I only use manual wide angles there.

Wonderful, Orio. There is nothing left to say for me - wonderful series and the two images mentioned are of an outstanding quality and deepness.

Orio, the sonnar pictures are one of the best I saw in the last time. And I'm not saying this because I had a relationship with this lens. Fine art. Very Happy

Michael

It mostly depends from the cost of work and the power of purchase. Why Russian lenses costed so little? They did not cost little. THey cost little to us, because here the salaries are higher. But for ...

Can you show a picture ?

Yes - when I have time to update my website with fresh lens pictures. Yvonne is keeping me busy with post processing of portraits she made in the last days Very Happy

Michael

I hope this is a good omen for 2008. The first lens I aquired from ebay was a little gem. A Helios 44 (-nothing) for M42. This is not very common, most of them are for M39. Absolutely mint, looks like ...

Comments and critiques very welcome? For me it's not possible to critize any of your shots - they are masterpieces. You're one of the best landscape photographers I have ever seen.

Michael

I'm envy, absolutely. Please do NOT post any pictures taken with this lens, otherwise I would ruin our financial reputation by overdrawing our bank account too much.

Congratulations - for everythi ...

This thread rocks - wonderful pictures, thank you all for sharing!

Last one is my favourite. It's cold outside ... Very Happy

Like the atmosphere of the first ones very much. Nice lens...
