New "fifty"!

[A.M.D.A.]

Yesterday I met up with a guy to check a used 50mm F1.7 MF-only for my "lineup", it was in great condition so I bought it!

Here's two quick "grab" pics of the almost-pancake-style lens on my *ist D:





Some taken with the actual lens to follow...

Wonderful shots, Alex.

Boy, that lens must be old if it only shoots black & white.

Looks like it's capable of taking some nice shots.

Thanks for the comments.

It shoots colour of course, these were converted to B&W in post-processing. I think they look better in B&W, but I can post the colour originals if you want.
