Brett,

 

Superb, simply superb.

 

Agreed. Brett, what a lens!

[stuny]

Brett -

 

I agree with Ivan, too. In that shot you look like a younger Ned Beatty.

Brett, fantastic! Really!

Where did you get the lens? Is it a prototype or is the 21 lux out yet?

[bybrett]

Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm and kind words, I shot this in September with the first lens out of the oven.

[vertekijker]

Just excellent! Shows the quality of this new lens, when in capable hands of course!

I'm glad I ordered the lens. I wonder when it will be out.

Classic, I can't imagine it any better.

Unfortunately the lens is now back at Solms and I have no idea when the production starts.

Nice portrait. Also very much enjoyed your LFI report. Couldn't you just deduct the lens from your bill instead of returning it...

Amazing use of this new wide angle. Quite gob-smacked when I first saw the bokeh effect on such a short lens. It's going to have many uses.

 

Your image brings together this latest technology and times past. Nicely composed and processed.
