25 Full Stop

Punctuation was important to our ancestors, even on simple signs. For them, a full stop indicated the message had finished. Nowadays we infer the end of a piece of information on, say, a street sign. To our generation it's so obvious that the ipernity government wilfully remove the full point I included in the title of this photograph, no matter how many times I restore it. Thus I have resorted to writing it in full. Let's see how they manage with that.

Canon EOS 20D and 50mm Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar f/2.8. I find photographs made on a digital SLR with M42 lenses often need a lift in post processing, especially for lack of contrast and saturation. However, even though I no longer have the Canon 20D, I cannot countenance the sale of the CZJ Tessar. It is a joy to use: not fast, but sharp wide open at the modest f/2.8; sublime handling - focus and aperture stops feel 'just right'; and the ability to focus as close as 14 inches, which provides a big image in combination with an APS-C digital sensor.
