These are my last two bits of digital equipment and I’d rather sell it together.

I’ll throw in Nikkor AF 85mm/1.8 for €50 (no D version)

Yeah I let you know, I’ll probably go for cheaper CV 1.4/35mm, it’s lighter, shorter and faster (should be good for gigs and landscapes), Biogon is probably better build though.
Shipping is tricky, if sender declares the value you pay % of that, but there is a “gift” option, but then again if the parcel get lost you get nothing.
Got this Russian lens from a friend http://www.rugift.com/photocameras/lens-helios-44.htm just need adapter, should be good all-rounder for the beginning.

Thnx Damien, two quick questions:
Will I see them in the viewfinder obstructing the view?
Do you have to pay custom tax when you buy secondhand from US? don’t have any experience in this matter…
cheers,
Marcin

Then my choice would be single coat I think.
Well, that is my goal for the near future too, one lightweight kit (zeiss ikon + 1 type lens) and off i go, I have to much stuff I don’t really use anyway and want to sell. I’d like to keep it simple this time. Since yesterday I’ve seen loads of “lens groups” on flicr, and have to say CV 35 1.4 would be my choice for now…. don’t want to use adaptors

Thanks very much!! One more question if I may;)
If in ideal world price wouldn’t matter would you rather buy Voigtlander 35/1.4, Voigtlander 35/1.2, or Biogon 35/2 as “all-round street landscape pretty much everything” lens???
or maybe sth else???
For B&W multi coat versions are better, aren’t they?

Already found one biogon 35/2 there Damien, but after reading your post I got doubts ;) maybe I should buy sth else ?

I like old feeling and kind of soft misty images of old B&W pictures, and found that XP2 gives me that (plus I’m not that good in developing films in tank myself),
this voigtlander 35mm f1.4 sounds tempting, I’ll check the prices and read more about it

If I only had few grand to spend!!!!

The first pic is with body armour, I bought it because rubber on the left side came off…(pic no 2) ;-)

Sorry, but I think 350 is a bargain for that camera, postage and packaging free in Ireland

not really, just a slight crop in LR, I did some contrast adjustment on second picture to get rid of a grainy background. I know I know I was lucky to see him, to cheer you up Jess I tell you missed the concert of the year;

“Your phone is also a camera,” Waits quipped, “but my sunglasses are also a tricycle.”

exactly! I’d love to have them less noisy and … stuff, but I have them at least!, few years ago I was thrown out of the gig for taking pictures (didn’t use any speedlight), … this time I survived ;)
