Hi Mark,
the 1.8 shown is what the focus confirmation adapter for CY lenses 
inputs, these were shot with a Zeiss 200/3.5 Tele-Tessar T* stopped down 
to f5.6 on the front of a Canon 20D - the shots are all cropped, with 
the exception of the nine Arrows together, and result in images 
unreduced in size (1:1).
