Outside with the Carl Zeiss 35mm f/2 ZE Distagon T*

[Singing snapper]

I bought a very good second hand copy of the Carl Zeiss 35mm f/2 ZE Distagon manual focus lens from Ffordes in Scotland. Love the lense great feedback from the focussing ring and very sharp lens indeed.

After a wet and stormy week, the sun is out for a change and so had a play around outside in the back garden while our dog Caesar had a run around (the bonus being that once he'd tired himself a bit I could get him to sit still for a second to use the manual focus on him!

A few daisies still about:
