... complementing this thread.

 

These were all taken with an old M42 lens, Schneider Kreuznach Xenar 50mm f/2.8 on a sony a7ii.

That's basically where I use that camera for, as a platform to revive old lenses. And old and cheap M42 lenses are easy to be found.

This one gives rather rich and saturated colours and I feel these translate well into b&w.

These all look pretty god to me but I would pick 2 and 6 as my favourites. The B/W treatment is a real walk down memory lane and it would be interesting to see the colour versions for comparison.

Thanks, Colin! Appreciated.

 

This link goes to a gallery on zenfolio where you'll find the colour versions and b&w if they were originally already in b&w.

 

up to #98. The rest is older.
