....thanks alot guys for the comments.

 

Stuart, Vannes is a little town on the french west coast, in Brittany visited by many tourists in the summer but the folks living here are quite old people, des bourgeois. We have a university here but very small and most students (young people) live in Nantes and Rennes, two bigger cities respectly about 70-80 miles from here :)

 

Eric, francais??? I almost exclusivily use tetenal and am quite satisfied with it. For my 30x40 prints I lately used Foma which is pretty nice but careful, it doesn"t support the green-yellow light :)

 

i also tried for the second time the Ilford Warmtone devloper. Nice substitude for the Agfa Neutol that we don't find here anymore

Hello Rainer,

 

Nice to see you've got your 50er Asph. - finally. When one has set one's mind to a Leica lens even waiting to carry it out of

the shop takes too long! I remain curious to see how you will use the 50 focal lens in comparison to the 35 with which you

were so comfortable and which you used so masterly.

I like your picture. It seems that the distant gaze of the salesman is mirrored in the composition and perspective.

 

Happy new year, C.

.....pas de pb Eric. Tu peux aussi essayer du Foma 111, genre de copie d'agfa mais fais gaffe dans la chambre noir. pas de lumiere jaune-vert.

 

thanks christoph. it arrived the 29th and left germany the 28th. first leica france annonced the 27th as the arival date, though I spend all day in town watching every fucking delivery car. nothing the 28th and I started getting angry but when it came the 29th......everything was forgotten :)

 

the photo could have been taken with a 35, just had to make a couple of steps in front but just for the distance. I feel very confortable with this lens and don't miss the 35 till now :)

 

have a great year 2007

Rainer,

 

A Happy New Year!

Pls., never give up the 35mm except for a 28mm ;)

 

Cheers

Bernd

 

PS: since Dec. 9th a Leica M6, 35mmCVpancake, 50cron + 90mm Tele-Emarit waits in a bag. All used stuff - let's see whether I can master the rangefinder view:D
