I?ve found many times that what a young person says is it is old ? i.e. a smartphone 2 years old?, it?s not old for us. ?It is always in the imperfect of the objective that he conjugates the verb to photograph?, Robert Doisneau/Jacques Pr?vert 1957 Maybe we shall focus this discussion about perfection vs imperfection? When I?m using my Summilux 75 or 50 vs2 or 35 pre asph ? I don? have at all the sense to are using an old lens, it?s different when I?m using my Summitar, or my beloved Summicron Collapsible and Rigid. I never hear talk about glamour, meanwhile there are coming to the market new fans of the Petzval lenses Just some of my thoughts when I have more time for share Cheers Lluis El 22/07/2015, a les 21.47, CJ andS <csaganich at gmail.com> va escriure: > Hari Hari - and you can get free breakfast and lunch at their place on > Schermerhorn Street. > > Chris > > On Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at 3:15 PM, <j2m46 at hotmail.fr> wrote: > >> I use my minolta rokkor lenses (50 macro and 24) on my M8 with a fotodiox >> adapter.
