Canon EOS 20D and 50mm Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar f/2.8. I find photographs made on a digital SLR with M42 lenses often need a lift in post processing, especially for lack of contrast and saturation. However, even though I no longer have the Canon 20D, I cannot countenance the sale of the CZJ Tessar. It is a joy to use: not fast, but sharp wide open at the modest f/2.8; sublime handling - focus and aperture stops feel 'just right'; and the ability to focus as close as 14 inches, which provides a big image in combination with an APS-C digital sensor.

Gary Schotel, aNNa schramm, Steve Bucknell have particularly liked this photo

Very pleasing. Same colours as The Bell, my favourite Matisse cut out.

It's sharp, all right, photo and pencil. A delightful image, simple yet elegant.
