Isn't that a sweet little lens?  It's one of the few I've sold that I REALLY miss.  Even though I have other options, that lens is special.

Nice job using it!  The elephant really shows the strength of the lens.

And that's why I need a Jupiter-12 for my Zorki.  35mm seems the best lens for those style of cameras.  Great looking shots, Bill.

You'll have pry this lens out of my cold dead hands. The CV Skopar 35 f2.5 is one of my workhorse lenses in my Leica kit.

streets are abandoned for the pride parade?

Very nice work Bill !   Really like those elephants.
I love my Skopar 35 also. It lives on my Bessa R, but I wonder if it would fit on a FED II ?
Has anyone tried this ?

Actually the Pride festivities were on Saturday and Sunday and were focused Northeast of the downtown core. On Canada Day most people where in the Beaches, Sunnyside and Harbourfront.

3rd shot down-that's some GREAT perspective control. Didn't just happen that way, did it?

That elephant would make any lens look strong.  I love that one, and wonder why there's a sculpture of an elephant in downtown Toronto?  (Sorry, on second look, make that three elephants.)
