I recently bought a very nice Makro-Planar CF 120mm lens to fill a big hole between 80mm and 180mm (and I would never part with either of these but was willing to live with the hole until my budget allowed me to back-fill it!).
So when this very well cared for ex&le arrived last week I went out and found anything I could to shoot - what a revelation I discovered in the viewfinder! It's probably going to become my new "normal" lens - a Wildi wrote in his various books a short tele like 120mm in 6x6 can help remove image clutter (my expression/interpretation).
Anyway I'm delighted with its performance: short and long distance; wide open and closed down. I'm fast thinking this focal length may become my new "normal" lens. What a delight it is to get closer and nearly fill the frame. I'll soon add a tube to see what i can do even closer.
I do like the out-of-focus and aperture sensitivity.
Anyway I've attached some s&les of what it did for me. Next time I'll shoot in NICE LIGHT.
