The Queen Elizabeth II Bridge over the River Thames at Dartford. It cost Millions of Pounds and they have got their money back already BUT they keep putting UP the Toll Fee -- now it is £1-50 for each car !

'Cleopatra's Needle' on the London Embankment was a present from Egypt in Queen Victoria's time -- now nobody likes the British any more and the only presents we get are bombs ! I used 1996 outdated Ilford FP4 film in the 12-on back and held a Yellow-Green filter over the lens. I downrated the film to 80 ASA and processed in Acutol-S Formula 1+1 i made up myslef from the chemicals.

I bought the Cam2 adapter from ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=250647017131&view=all&tid=615434278015
The lens mount is a little tricky to mount. The adapter is quite smooth. Only that you need to get the alignment right. Takes practice.

Yes, I love the lens. For the price it is pretty amazing. I bought mine on Adorama.

I bought the G Sonnar 90/2.8 lens and was waiting to buy a camera to mount it!! I finally settled on the GF1 and had to wait for 2 long months for my visit to Boston. This was one of the first shots captured on a muggy evening in Doha of my daughter. The temperature was a sweltering 40C at 5PM!! That is summer in the Qatar.

The 2x crop factor makes this lens a telephoto. The quality is simply out of the world. I then found a Planar 45/2 online and promptly bought it. It is now always on my GF1.
