Thanks H,
It's a really nice lens to use. I'm switching it between the Edixa and the Zenit.. But prefer it on the Zenit although the shutter only goes up to 500th/sec on that.
I've put a roll behind this lens and haven't quite achieved the famous 'swirl' with it yet...... Maybe a wooded area might do the trick.

Excellent Dan. Lovely isolation and tones. And what a hairstyle!

Thanks Pete, the styling I have to say comes natural with him...... Just like his daddy

Haha! In trouble indeed shortly after....

Lovely analogue feel to these. My late brother had a Zenit B. :O

Brilliant Dan - love that retro look that film and lens provides

I know Pete will hate me for this - but have you considered a square crop to loose the brightly lit sink area?

Really fun editorial style shots I agree a much tighter crop either square or portrait would heighten the impact dramatically.
