hand rings

Lake Havasu City, AZ

A friend asked me to try out his Contax G rangefinder lens that has been converted for Leica M mount. I can put it on my Sony with an adapter and use it on my Leica M6ttls. The 45 f/2 Contax G Planar is known for its contrast, color and sharpness. This photo is shot wide open at f/2. I happen to own the 35 f/2 in Contax G mount and have now sent my lens off for the conversion. It is being done by Hawk in China.
The Contax G lenses are a bargain for the quality that they possess. The Contax G lineup consists of 21 f/2.8, 28 f/2.8, 35 f/2, 45 f/2, and 90 f/2.8.

I agree with Terry, it's wonderful that those old lenses are
still functional and perform so well in the digital age. Bravo!!!

Beauty out of simplicity of form and shape...true art.

Your collection of fine lenses and cameras is amazing. So retro!
This image is really nice - love that limited and sharp depth of focus, along
with the great colors!
