I think it is interesting and kinda fun to develop my BW film at home, soon gonna develop some more films I have saved up!

Thanks. Yup it is a frozen lake

It's here!

1951 Summitar 5cm f/2 lens which has a tidge of a haze issue that I think affects the image in this kind of light, but hey, it's what I have so far.
Leica M8, no IR cut filter, pretty much default everything.

1937 Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm F1.5 Sonnar converted to LTM, on the M8, at F2.



Need to upload the shot of Nikki hugging this tree 10 years ago, singing "Rumbly in my Tumbly".

1939 Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm F1.5 Sonnar "T", wide-open on the M8.



This is one of the first coated lenses. Converted to Leica Mount using a 1955 Jupiter-3 focus mount.

Wow, Brian, and here I thought the 30s lenses were low contrast!

[Brian]

The Sonnar formula lenses were designed in a day when there were no lens coatings. The optical formula minimized the number of reflections. A Single-Coated Sonnar is about like a multi-coated modern lens.

These are all in-camera JPEG, everything set to "standard contrast" on the M8.

Brian, do you get rangefinder coupled focus with that lens?
