M8 in Budapest

Hi all -

 

The holiday spirits were REALLY kind to me this season. For some reason, unbeknownst to me, I was gifted with a Leica M8. Now I am heading off to Budapest to finish shooting a film, and of course I am going to take it along with me. My standard D200 (set work gear) is coming with me, as well as my new M8.

 

Now to the point - I need a little help. First off, my IR filters for my 35mm 1.4 and my 90 Cron aren't going get here before I leave, so I was wondering whether or not there are any photoshop fixes for the Magenta cast challenge. I have found C1 solutions, but no Photoshop solutions.

 

And does anyone have any advice as to camera shops in Budapest, where I might be able to score some Leica/rangefinder (Zeiss - 21mm or 25 mm) gear.

And does anyone have any photo op ideas for me in Budapest.

 

So far, I am Loving the new year.

 

Thanks

Tony Rose at Popflash Photo had a few IR filters the last time I checked (39,46 and maybe a 55) and he can overnight them to you. He's in the LA area.

 

As for Budapest photo ops, go up to the castle and wander around; there's also a huge archaeological dig in an ancient Roman city (may be closed in the Winter) and lots of boat/restaurants along the river which are somewhat reminiscent of Paris...

Hi Arielv13,

 

Wellcome to Hungary!

 

You will find the B+W distributor for filters and other gear in "Westend City Center" anyone can explain where it is.

Here is a phone number of the shop: +36 1 238 7272

and the web address. PÁLVÖLGYI-FOTÓ

Good luck

Thanks guys. I look forward to shooting the city, day and night. I will definitely check out the West End City Center. Per Diem will burn a hole in my pocket.

 

Thanks for the photo op tips as well. I will reciprocate by posting pix.

Tony is such a great dealer. Wish all the dealers were as sensitive.
