I just got this combo not long ago and tested it out with a few rolls of films.

Here are so results and I am very happy with the results Smile

The DOF is incredible. Need a polariser for the windows in the second one - tantalising glimpses.

Hah! True. Would it work behind the lens, I wonder.

The problem is that 12mm would need a specialised hood that costs almost 65 US dollars to hold a separate 77mm filter.

The lens vignetts heavily until f11 is hit. I think the polariser would worsen the vignetting...

Yeah, this was purely the reason that I want to own this 12mm which is quoted to be out of production Smile

I would scratch my head for that one. Good suggestion though.

I had shot 3 rolls of slides on some landscape. I have yet developed them and stay tuned Smile

12 mm is very cool to use. I actually love to use this lens for street candids but most people's faces are distorted as a result Smile

Hehe

I just discover that you sell lenses? I would love to know if you have Leica 35mm f2, Zeiss 20mm f2.8 and voigtlander 180mm f4 (nikon or PK mount) Smile

This lens is a fun lens. Light, small and boutiquely built.

Not sharp and not bright. However, the perspective is just incredible on rangefinder camera.

Having owned this lens for some time. This lens is a fun tool to create landscape images or street candid in a way that I cannot describe.

Here is my lens gallery of this wonderful fun lens.

I have shot some landscape images in this current series with a recent trip to Grampians National Park in my home state.

Images taken on films Provia 400, Superior 400 and Reala.

Hi,
excellent job. Superb colors and composition. So many different subjects (landscape, street, interior. architecture...) all with one lens one body: a great eye is required. Compliments.
-Marty.
