Unusual Fujinon W 125mm 5.6!?!

I don't have the lens yet, but this is the photo.

Don Dudenbostel has one and I've shot with it. Also consider the 78-degree CM-W, which I have. Both are super.

Cheers, Steve

Steve, I've already bought the lens and it is on its way. I was not going to pass up this 80 degree gem.

Wise move. I recently acquired one of these and the first shots I took with it were very sharp and had great contrast. The only fault I found with the lens is that it doesn't auto-compose very well. It failed to detect the cell phone tower sticking up on the crest of the hill.

Such are the risks of using old lenses, unfortunately. For images already affected by cell phone towers, Photoshop has a Gursky 'Rhine II' plugin which removes all human traces from landscape photos.
