It is very appealing in B&W, Roger. There is a lot to see in the many levels and one has to look awhile to enjoy it thoroughly. Lovely composition.

It's kind of you to read probable meanings into the jumble... Japanese formal gardens do use a lot of conventions and symbols, but this is just a "work in progress" area. It used to be a big US airbase, and was turned into a huge public park when it was handed back, and they're still working to make it beautiful. I liked the play of light and shade and the "look" in B&W.

Richard, I think Pentacon started out to design a 28mm lens, measured what they got, found it was 29mm, and decided to come clean. Zeiss and Nikon are known to have 28mm lenses that are actually 29! This lens is unacceptable soft at full aperture, and I know use a 30mm Pentacon F/3.5! Congrats on the Summarit. I've seen beautiful results created with this lens and look forward to seeing yours! My own choice would have been the splendid 40mm F/1.4 Voigtlander...

A nice vertical composition, Roger. I wonder why Pentacon chose 29mm? I like the s-curve and the transition from dark at the bottom to light at the top (the way the world should be ordered - ha).
I got my 50/1.5 Summarit for the Voigtlander T yesterday. It is mint condition so I hope it performs up to its (limited) capabilities.

I like this one, Roger - there's a lot in it, but it takes some looking at to find it. I'm not familiar with the concepts behind Japanese parks (although I have seen some...) But I can imagine that there are many subtleties and recurring ideas that are echoed in this image.
