The last two photographs may be of interest if you are curious about the Zeiss ZM C Biogon 4.5 21. Having shot it for a couple of weeks along side my benchmark Summicron M 28 asph, I would offer these comments. It costs a third as much as the Summicron, yet is very well made, accurate and contrasty. Because of the modest maximum aperture, it is of course vastly easier to correct. You can provoke flare with harsh light directly into the lens. The hood works OK, for a tiny 21 mm hood, but being a bayonet only their original fits. It is very compact, aperture and focus ring operation is very smooth, no complaints at all. 1/3 stops are meaningless for me, though, the meter doesn't react to the change. As always, comments/critiques are very welcome. Cheers, Geoff http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/ http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/e _____________________________________________
