Lovely shots. The fountain in no 2 would never be allowed in Britain!! Stiff upper lip and let Johnny Foreigner muck about with things like that.

Manneken Piss at Brussels too!!!

The shots seems a bit irrealisticly sharpen, Wolverinex. I do not know exactly what and how you pp this series. Looks amazing but a tad artificial for me, don't get me wrong, i'm not under-valuating the framing, colors and technical details of the photo: is more a question of perception and taste,

Cheers,

Renato

How many lenses have you tested already just this week ?! I'm envious Razz

I have this lens as well also in M39, great little lens.
I'm just not sure if it's my lens or my adapter, it often unscrews when I try to focus (turning the focus ring). Any idea on how to make it firm on the adapter?

focus ring, probably, is a little stiff. maybe you could try, when screwing in the lens, put a piece of paper in the screw
