A very nice set. I'm liking the look from the Sigma 50/2.

It's a very capable lens and, as an I-series, a joy to use, but I think it might be missing the magic of some of my other lenses. Or maybe I'm just yearning for the new f/1.2......
 
Truck & transport show last weekend. Kind of got a bit sidetracked on the way home

I like the Citroen DS, you can't get more French that that. I have a more modern Citroen c5 but without the hydraulic suspension, I even photographed it today in the mountains. I might stick it up later when my S5ii dries out and hopefully still works.

I've driven Citroen C5s the past 20+ years, both first gen and second gen, all with hydro-pneumatic suspension. Great cars. When they discontinued the C5 range I switched over to a Peugeot 508.
 
Today at Spelga, a dammed reservoir in the Mourne mountains, yeah the ones Don Mc Lean sang about :D

CPL to take the reflection from the windscreen. LR PP on phone as it's handy (literally). I made the mistake today of using the in-camera landscape jpeg preset and I don't like them, very washed out compared to RAWs with polariser used.

This one is 2012 HDi 2.0l 163bHp full leather interior with steel springs, so not a proper Citroen Z04 Motzer

Very nice! Awesome backdrop too!

@dirk - what follows is off topic with non-L-mount photos so I am happy if you want to slice this off and move it to the Cafe.

My last two Citroen C5s were both tourers. The blue one was (I think) a 2011 model, 2.0L HDi with hyro-pneumatic suspension and standard level interior trim.

My next and last C5 Tourer was the 2015 HDi 2.2L Exclusive (all leather, nice sound system, etc). This is an iPhone snap in the workshop where they were transferring the rego plates over.

The C5 is a great car out on the open road. I have to say that the Peugeot 508 that I drive now (2020 model 1.6L turbo petrol) is better suited for city driving - 8-speed auto transmission and tighter suspension etc. Much more fun taking off from the lights!

And then I ran into this. There's a little bit of a story behind this car. It was my best mates car, he bought it probably 20 years ago now, it was a stock standard 6 cylinder base model that an old guy owned, and who he bought it off. At the time I was a bit unsure about it, as XA Falcons weren't all that popular. Anyway, one night we were sitting in the garage looking at it, & he decided that the vinyl roof had to go. That was the end of it. Next thing you know, we were both elbows deep in paint stripper, & sanding dust. Engine & gearbox, interior all removed, the whole car striped back to bare metal. And that was just the beginning. He bought a 378 cube stroker engine, 4 speed manual, 9" diff, big brakes, Globe mags etc etc etc, and it went from there. Unfortunately, he never got to see it finished, as he passed away from cancer about 8 or 9 years ago. And then I ran into his wife & one of his sons at a car show on Sunday. It looks spectacular. Exactly how he would have wanted it to look. It's about as close to a new, old stock car as you could find. Brought a tear to my eye. Nearly.

Oh my goodness, that is absolutely gorgeous!!! Incredibly great colour and so beautifully finished. Great story too.

My dad had a Ford XB Fairmont back in the day. I really loved it.

I still miss him. I still stop & say hi to him when I'm out riding my bike at times and I pass the nursing home where he spent the last few months of his life in palliative care. Talking, laughing and joking about the fun we had. Right up until the day before he passed. He just made 50. I had a '68 XT Fairmont at the time that I was restoring, we spent many many enjoyable hours on weekends, scouring swap meets, ad's in the newspapers etc etc, chasing down & looking at various bits & pieces. They were starting to get quite hard to find, I had quite a collection of doors, spare bonnet, grills, badging, tail lights etc. A fabulous time in my life.
