Prague and Czech Paradise - hazy and foggy days

All taken over the past while with my favorite manual focus trio. I keep wondering if moving to full frame is the path for me eventually. I love the framing that the CZJ 135 gives on a crop sensor, easily my favorite lens, or close to it.

Very nice

I really like #1. Looks almost fake.
I'm glad I await a Jupiter 21M Smile

Lovely Prague!!

I love that city too much -- I have nice memories from there Wink

The first one is from another planet!!! but I love them all

and dave_t == I can assure you that the Sonnar 3.5/135 is PERFECT on full frame.

Thank you for the comments, I won't bore you all with the backstory behind #1, but I waited around 30 minutes for the fog to part just enough to get the castle peeking through. The Jupiter was the perfect length to get it all in. This is from a few minutes later with the 135 after the fog started to disappear:

Truly fantastic shots! The composition on those is great, the only thing I miss, is a bit more of contrast, but that's normal when shooting the distant horizon. (I know it's very difficult to shoot the horizon, esp. at longer focal length like the 135mm or 300mm, atmospheric conditions must be perfect for a picture to come out sharp and contrasty enough. Generally it's best to shoot after strong wind, when the weather clears out.) Wink
