Ricoh KR10x / Rikenon 35-70 / Kenya



EXA I / Meyer Optik Domiplan 2.8/50 1Q / Germany



Leica C2 / Vario-Elmar 35-70 / Germany

Carsten

I agree with Orio vote for #4 I really curious subject was more interesting than others or Leica lens is much more better than others. I know Leica lenses are very expensive but I am not sure how much better than other quality lenses like Nikkors or CZJ and excellent Russians.

Well, the Leica C2 is just one of their compact cams and it is AF. I forgot about that, sorry. So #4 is not really shot with a manual lens. I apologize.

This is my C2:


It has a Vario-Elmar 35-70, though and produces pictures of a very fine quality. It is a nice fixed lens even though not very fast, really.

@Orio: Oh, I went to both Kenya and Mallorca in the 1990s. Quite a long time ago, thus decent reports would not be possible, I'm afraid. I can't even remember the name of this fortress. It was in some kind of "other life", if you understand. But I can show some more pictures nevertheless.

Cheers,
Carsten

Carsten, welcome!
You know how I feel about the first 2 pics, and 3 and 4 certainly don't
detract! I like the perspective in 3, and agree with Orio completely on
the 4th shot!

Looking forward to some pics with your Fed 3! Wink

Nice Italian life style that is good for enjoy life as well. Last summer I have been visited Italy it was great fun. I saw rules worked there , come to Hungary and see how the rules works hahaha especially in traffic. Almost Asia Sad I have been in India for half year as application developer. Absolutely now rules just incredible crazy traffic mixed with many animals cows, elephants , camels etc. Sometimes we found buffalo's on motorway. Imagine !
Perhaps interesting even if they are not quality pictures
