This week brings me back to the wall of trumpet vines but looking at the rose bush that decided to intrude: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/58mm+Biotar+rose+in+the+trumpet+vines.jpg.html I don't remember which lens I was using for this one, it may have been a LTM Canon 100 F2: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/random+rose+in+the+trumpet+vines.jpg.html I brought out a 1930's Contarex 135 which is surprisingly good. For long time listers Marc James Small promoted these and their Russian offspring: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/Trumpet+Vine+1930s+Zeiss+135+f4.jpg.html I have several tessar lenses from most manufacturers but this mid 60's Zeiss version in a Contarex mount is very good: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/Zeiss+50mm+Contarex+Tessar+rose+in+trumpet+vines.jpg.html All the best. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
