they look great. Your arms must have been aching after a day in the saddle with one of those. I like the lambretta and tattoo/graffiti a lot

Karl, thanks.

A day with the Kiev? No way!  :D I only took a short stroll with it, maybe about 30 minutes and fired these. Then I crawled to the nearest pub to recharge. This beast is heavy!  :'(

these are nice !  I like the 1st one best: the depth and the "46" reflected.   THese things sure are heavy.  Aren't the bodies made out of Pot Metal?

RandomHamster & Gregor, thanks. Glad you like these. At least the pain of lugging it for the short shoot is not wasted  :D

Thank you. 45mm? That sounds good. I'm kinda new to this but which 45mm is that? Not easy finding such lenses here so maybe time to visit e(vil)Bay :(
