I am actually thinking of getting a camera that this lens would fit on with out an adapter. This lens is great, Attila spoke about p6 lenses a while back in one of his posts and how they are over looked.

yeah, true, but theyre very big, except the volna and biometar 80s. ive had those plus the mir 45&65 and the arsat 30. imo yours is the best of the bunch by a good amount, followed by the volna. i used them all on FF 5d, and just loved the biotar 120, which was my tele alternative to the planar 85/1.4. i thought those two performed best out of all the lenses iused on my 5d.

They look grainy. Why did you shoot at ISO1600?

The factory is where the electricity is made. The manatees hang out at the water discharge from the plant. The water that was used for cooling the generators is warm so the manatees will hang around during the winter months. There were not many manatees to be seen on this day as it has been warm all week.

Looked at the first few images and I had the camera set to ISO 100. Must have hit the ISO button and changed the iso to 1600.
