Shipping: wowsers, the lens was in my hand in Vancouver BC Canada in 6 days, dayum! Colour Packing: excellent, pragmatic, not fancy. It is a gem of a little lens and a great performer.Д¬ustomer service: excellent, very responsive, I had quite a few questions for them and they replied very quickly. I might spray paint it with glossy enamel. The original lens hood of the G35 / G45 fits nicely, but I have the champagne version and I donвЂ™t think it works with either the black or the gold version. Ding, I prefer the original Carl Zeiss engravings. The lens did have a plastic ring glued on the front, on top of the original Carl Zeiss from markings, but I removed it easily and left no marks. The G35/2 is supposed to be the вЂњlesser performerвЂќ of the Contax G suite, the internet is funny like that, some person deemed it once as not being as stellar as the G45/2 (which is whispered to be one of the best lenses in 35mm photography history) and the internet has taken that and transformed it into вЂњnot a good lensвЂќ kind of rumour. If youвЂ™re reading this you most likely know what this lens is, otherwise, this info can be easily found online.

all samples processed in Capture 1 PRO with the default output sharpening for screen (any image processor will apply some sort of sharpening from DNG to JPG).most tests were taken at all apertures but since this ended up requiring so much work I only included up to f/8, to be honest, I donвЂ™t think anything past that is relevant.the 40mm was repositioned so that the main subject filled roughly the same size in the photos (as much as possible, the infinity tests show the difference in focal length).focusing was redone with every lens change.all focus was done extremely carefully using LIVE VIEW at f/2 for each lens, using both the focus peaking and my own eyes to make sure I get the best possible focus.white balance was on auto but the lighting conditions were very consistent.

exposure was manual and the exposure time was adjusted accordingly with every aperture change (generally 2/3 stop) to hopefully maintain an even exposure between the samples.

captured at M-PвЂ™s base ISO: 200 (except for a few frames captured at 1.2 and 1.4 because 1/4000 was too slow to keep equal exposures so I set the ISO to PULL 100).

no filters or hoods were used and lenses were extremely clean.

done on a tripod with a 2-second timer to hopefully dampen most vibrations.

I also take other kinds of photographs as well. Clicking on the images will present you with a version 1000 pixels wide to further enjoy. I trust that this irony is not lost on anyone. All of the photos were shot with a Ricoh GRDII. When I meet them out on the streets I ask to photograph their camera, and usually post it here the same day.

People who shoot film simply do because they choose to, and the Photo Culture of Tokyo is full of film camera users. The relationship one has with their cameras affects their approach to making a picture. At the same time they physically exist as expressions of these same concepts. I just pick up the one that looks nicest on the dayД¬ameras are wonderful little contraptions.Д«y making photographs, they are tools with which one can express their personal taste and private sensibilities. I donвЂ™t think about what camera I should use that much. A really good camera has something I suppose you might describe as its own distinctive aura. Changing cameras means that your photographs will change. If you want to change your photographs, you need to change cameras. Cameras and Photography spotted in Tokyo, Japan.
