And that is just Section 13b in building 21 on site 17. There’s also an entire empty facility just in case ‘missing’ deliveries from MPB via DHL, turn up. -
I like perfection because you can muddy it up but as the saying goes, you can’t polish a turd. Anything I can do that makes my workflow better, enhances creativity because it allows a greater effort to be focused in that regard. I feel and have felt for a long time that the tools have been getting in the way hence the streamlining. Arguably the tools have been good enough for quite some time, but there have always been real world niggles. No excuses now, anything I don’t manage or get wrong is on me. Again, has been arguably for a long time, but being realistic, as a one man band hybrid shooter and with no manual, it’s been a learning curve and though that curve has flattened significantly long since the 15 years I started (shooting hybrid), it’s still a ‘work in progress’. And always will be.

If you want a vintage set from the same range that are pretty uniform and readily available then the Nikon Series E are worth a look. They are available in the following focal lengths. Prime Lenses: E 28mm f/2.8, E 35mm f/2.5, E 50mm f/1.8, E 100mm f/2.8, and E 135mm f/2.8. Zoom Lenses: E 36-72mm f/3.5, E 75-150mm f/3.5, and E 70-210mm f/4.0. Obviously, no wider than 20mm may or may not be a deal breaker for you personally. The zooms are one touch such was the fashion at the time but are good performers. As I say they are all from the same range so are more matched than having to pick from this and that branch of, say, CZJ etc. You can get them for an average across the set of around £75-90 per lens plus budget £10 for each F to EF adapter. Plenty of examples to peruse here https://www.flickr.com/groups/1032976@N23/pool/ If you can stretch the budget, the Contax Zeiss range is compelling but for 1/3rd of the price the Series E range is a decent option.

There are so many options out there with those requirements. Any of the major brands had some real gems depending on the era. Anything 2.8 will really clean up at 3.5 and still be vintage soft vs modern and clinical. 2.8 copies will allow you to not get jammed up in low light situations when you might need it but you can live in deep focus the rest of the time. I have the whole Contax Zeiss set and they’re a perfect blend of vintage and not too sharp. great color. Can be found cheap now. Also highly recommend the Yashica M42 stuff and Konica AR for cheap underrated options.
