then I looked down at my feet and found a little nest hidden in the long grass. I had nearly stepped on these wee little beasties- Six in all... two more hidden in the pile.

 

Now I have to feed them, have them all checked out (and desexed :eek: ) and then find homes for them all... Looks like I will busy for the next month.

 

I could document it all here with vintage glass...

Here is a photo taken by this lens on S2 body.

A test shot to get to know each other with the new M9. Sonnar 40/2.8 LTM by Rollei. Not exactly an oldie but quite a classic design and a rare lens already discontinued.

I always take a snap of the lens before I change it to the camera. So any photos after that is from that lens. :D

 

When changing the photos from RAW to JPG, LR4 offers to rename the file names to the lens n body used for that set of shots. ;)

 

I have not take the time to take a family photo for all the lenses on hand, forsure I need super wide angle to do that. :D

Could you post a picture of the converted 40mm F2?

 

Have you looked at converting a CZJ 4 cm F1.4 Biotar? The back-focus should lend itself to an easy conversion. This is the earliest F1.4 lenses that I've run across. One was given to me as "payment" for some repair work.

Here is a poor photo of the lens by iPhone :) of this lens mounted to MM

 

As for the CZJ 4cm f1/4, I am not sure if this will cover FF, better to check before having it remount but of course you can always try...sometimes a slight dark corners can give you a moody effect.

October morning. M9 and Summaron 35/3.5 v1 LTM. Built like a tank, feeling like a piece of horologerie.

Follow-up on the 1920's 4cm F1.4 Biotar: it will not cover full-frame. It was made for a 35mm cine camera, 18x24 format. Checked through a TTL viewer, it should cover the sensor on the M8, or a 1.5x crop camera. This is an early lens, 6-digit SN and only the last 4 digits stamped into the rear module.

Probably as the Lomo 35mm T1.6 (35mm cine camera format) I tested fully covers the M8 sensor, no vignetting issues, same with the Lomo 28mm T 1.6 .

Sharing this super wide lens on M9 Leica Hologon 15mm f8 ....due to the lens is too close to the CCD red vignetting can't be avoid. However on film M body should be ok.
