Thanks Joe for Your comment.

It is too early for Central European lowlands to be snowed, everything has already gone out with temperature of few degree above the freezing point of water :( I need to wait till end of November or till beginning of December to get more stable snow. I expect earlier more winter-photos from You :)

On December 6, 1958 agreement was signed between the Polish and Czechoslovak, to transfer Jelcz's Motor Undertakings license to manufacture intercity bus Škoda 706 RTO with the body's design Karosa, the village Vysoké Mýto. According to the Czech side of the agreement provided a permanent establishment in Jelcz-Laskowice complete chassis, which deposited were produced under license from the body. At the end of 1959 assembled the first test series of 20 units of Jelcz's 043 bus.
It is crop of test scene. This lens render is amazing for me. Only 6000 items were made, it was manufactured totally within one year about 1968.
It has only vignette corrected by ACR. As You see this correction even with max values, it isn't perfect but I believe it is still usable. At APS-C f/8 gives a lot of DoF, which unifies corner's and center's sharpness. With FF there is such level of DoF with f/8, You need to balance between center and border focus, especially at such close-ups. This one if focused at borders, to illustrate if they are able to be sharp with BSI FF sensor and Hologon's lens design. It is taken handheld with steadyshot inside
I hope my CZJ Biotar f/2 58mm last version of Alu finish would be better than this landscape's speed zoom lens...
Best wishes to all of You (one again, this time with the Tree).
It was cloudy night, I couldn't wait longer than month to clear sky with moon at night :(
What do You think about this radial distortions?
For me it is unbelievable that such (center) sharpness could be achieved from 1939 to 1954, especially when I compare with later lens like Pancolar 1.8/50 or Planar Opton 1.8/50...

I believe that Adobe software, lens profile based distortion's correction makes the outcome of Distagon 2.8/15mm to look artificially and not pleasant to me. I like it more better without geometric distortion correction, lens profile based vignetting correction works better :)
It is my last acquired lens. Most people claim that it is too dark and microcontrast is too low. I don't agree that it isn't great lens.

Simple two elements in two groups (achromat) and Jena accuracy...
I know that You may not like this photo due to flare. It is like Horst Wittmann advertised me, after Hubert Nasse. Edges looks badly. It is still hard to move on...
