Mine : less deep black and slightly less contrast than TX400 Kodak taken at the same time , but a little to the left Best Henry I agree, but the slower b&w films just seem to better for landscapes, at least to me. And I always turn them into a contrasty pic in PP. Even this Kodak b&w movie film I have been using is really unique. Seems to give me the grayscale of the slower Ilford but a rich black like T-X. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely, fine textures and overall smooth gradation - but there appears to be a lack of true blacks in the deep shadows. A tweak to the bottom end of the tone curve? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted December 9, 2015 Share #8375 Posted December 9, 2015 In addition to enjoying the motif a great deal, I like how the lens gives the photo a very pleasant tonality. It reminds me of my Summitar's rendering which isn't very surprising given its similarities to the collapsible 50/2. It may surprise many of those who begin photography today but sharpness isn't everything. And can easily be added in post, just like contrast etc. A well executed image is what counts and this one is. This scan is perfect, being very flat, for considerable further fine-tuned post-processing. For instance, one could work on bringing out the front of the pier and the fishing rod somewhat to make them stand out better against the bright water. They're a really nice complement to the hut itself and sort of ties the image together; one would expect a hobbit to have left his fishing rod for a moment to go for a second breakfast. Likewise, the top right edge of the hut and the big tree could be worked on to give a stronger impression of depth in the image. As is, the tonality of the background slope is similar to the hut's roof which makes the two blend together a bit. Working on the contrast of edges of objects in the image (and the clouds too) would, I think, make this already very enjoyable image even better. The one little thing I would have done differently had I been there to take this phtograph myself (if I may; and I realise there may have been difficulties achieving this unless one doesn't mind wet feet) would be the viewpoint; I would have tried framing it more to the right to make the fishing rod more prominent.

Philip, about lenses now used in analog as in ex. 35 or 50 asph Summilux on cameras, I find that the pictures are well defined , more contrasting in b&w. I just finished a few dozen wedding photos in print and I find it remarkable qualities of these lenses obviously associated with quality cameras such as M. I also compared the same photos , in b&w that come out Noritsu automaton of my Leica center and through my home magnifier, are superior in quality to any point of view in paper silver print (defintion, contrast, smooth lines, deep black, gray with shades etc ...)
