Interesting and thanks for sharing. I'll keep pondering on a purchase because it really does look interesting, especially the old car. (My camera is m43).
I absolutely am in love with this oldtimer car image.
It is the kind of image that you can only achieve with an ultra fast lens.
I own a Voigtlander Nokton 17.5mm F0.95 that I have used mainly in dimly lit documentary circumstances (backstage of a circus etc).
The lens is so fast that it is nearly TOO fast to use wide open in broad daylight.
It needs ND filters in those circumstances and I hardly bother with that kind of accessories.
You've given me some ideas for extended use: upclose portrait-type images of objects that have a painterly quality.
In other words : your image has sparked my desire to go out and shoot some images myself.
What more could we ask for?
The Spark 2.0 with more control, lol. Like I said before, I am shocked at how this reminds me of the Mikaton 50mm at f0.95. It's got such a close "feeling" to that, and this lens is a fixed f5.6.
Interesting experiment, the vivid colors are immediately noticeable.
The color transitions are also extraordinary.
I would better preserve the facial contours of the subjects.
Rich,
This thread has winded down on Tuesday April 18 (Europe time).
I suggest you repost the image in the new edition for April 19 that I will start shortly.

Well this is now an example of the confusion regarding this thread I'm in. Namely, I can't find the third version of the weekly CC thread, so I can't find where to start and after my eye surgery I see a little less (temporarily) but still like to follow the contributions that others post here. So where do I start and how do I find the weekly starting points and where do I find it ?
I was stuck in a loop in the second CC version and couldn't seem to get out. I'm curious how it goes in the fourth CC version. Anyway, thanks you both.
