Exakta 500/Ektar 100 shots today

[Katastrofo]

Well, it's early the next day now, but it was a nice sunny day. Too sunny
for the flower pics and the leathery green leaves reflected the blue sky
nicely. lol

Using the CZJ Sonnar 4/135 lens.

flowers at botanical garden:

cherry blossoms, Huntsville park:

fast focus, Huntsville park:


I took some other pics at the botanical garden with the Konica T4 and
Ricoh FF-90, and will post those later.

ps with all the time I spend in Japan, you'd think I would know the difference between a cherry blossom and an apple blossom. lol

Are you happy with your 4/135 Bill?
I consider it one of my best lenses. Certainly in the top 5 for best bokeh, and in the top 20 for best sharpness.
I have sold the 3.5/135 and kept the 4/135. Actually I have two copies of it because my first copy had a little haze spot inside, so I wanted a clean one. But they both produce perfect pictures.

Orio, this is the only Sonnar I have (other than the ones stuck on the
little Sony DSC-V1, and am very happy with it.

here's another cherry blossom shot:



Yep, I love the bokeh, got this lens for my Exakta from a Greek vendor, only cost $17.
