    I got a Helios 44-2 recently on ebay, along with an M42->F (nikon mount) adapter. I got it specifically because, wide open, its got the swirrrrrrrls. Not as bad as some other lenses I've seen, I mean these won't give you motion sickness or anything :-)

    These are probably also a good example of what that new Ektar 100 can do, I took a little more care developing these than usual so the colours are probably pretty representative. The lens is a bit soft wide open though. If you're a contact you can see a 4096 version of the below. They're down-rezzed from the original 5600 scans.

    And later on ...

    It all fit into the postbox I hope ?

    Incidentally, for anyone interested, they're releasing it in 120 as well in April. I'm watching 7dayshop for pre-orders intently ...

    It certainly did!

    Separate jiffy bags and no more than 6 rolls at a time, was impressed with that and the swiftness of delivery.

    I read about the 120 release as well, but I'll be sticking with 135 for some time!

    Too many cameras as it is.

    Stop encouraging me!!

    I'm trying to stave off a severe case of Leica lust (not indulged though), hopefully playing with digital shots in lightroom will cure me

    Do you know when you buy a lecia you get the same warm fuzzy feeling that you get when you donate to the homeless fluffy bunnies trust? Its true, honest!
