'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 I used 1996 outdated Ilford FP4 film in the 12-on back and held a Yellow-Green filter over the lens.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 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.
