Amazing sharpness on all the images. I felt like reaching my hand through my monitor. Looks like the Leica and Zeiss optics are amazing. Thank you for sharing

First thing I thought of when I saw these was how sharp the images were.

I guess those big named primes are worth the money!

Great images. The colours look great, and the composition is looks to be well thought out too.

Thanks for the comments, they're all much appreciated of course.

The seemingly boundless resolution and great contrast is what attracted me to the adapted Leica and Zeiss lenses. Comparatively cheap too, believe it or not. On the used market the Zeiss 28 sells in the $250-$350 range and the Leica's are less than $500 - maybe a little more for the 90.

Not me personally but fishing is allowed at the large lakes such as Traunsee or Zell am See.
