[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 823889, member: 53455"] In 2016, I was asked by the City of Lyons to take photographs of the old, monumental cemetery of Loyasse to document the interesting and curious tombs and funerary monuments that are to be found there. The photos were for the city’s archives and there was also a book project, but I don’t think it ever came to fruition. Loyasse is the oldest remaining cemetery in Lyons, and is traditionally considered the proper place of eternal rest for the wealthy bourgeois of the city. I went several times in 2016 ad 2017 and took most of those photographs with a splendid manual focus lens made by Cosina in Japan to look like a vintage Nikkor F, but with a modern optical formula, the coatings and all the technical trappings of the modern day, while retaining a very distinctive rendition of reality. It is branded by Voigtländer under the name Nokton, 58mm and ƒ/1.4. At the time I used it on a D810 but although I have sold that body long ago, I have retained the lens, as I know I will want to use it again for specific projects on mirrorless bodies.
