My Paris shots again, love the City.

This was along from the Louvre, and is now a severely cropped panorama, the sky was full of gunk, it looked like the neg had been close to someone with a cold. I'll re-wash it and see if I can extract the full shot.

Adding to the woes, it looks as if it was not secure in the neg carrier, so is soft on the sides.

Lovely place though, Henry will know it well.

I think your new camera has potential.  Very nice. 

I just sent my Ricoh GR1V to the Square Warranty company for a look at what appears to be imperfect autofocus and metering.  Due to its age, I doubt they will be able to fix it, so I am hoping for a refund of my purchase price. 

I though about the Minolta TC1 (as well as the Contax).  I wanted a 28mm, so that eliminated the Contax.  I can't quite remember what drew me away from the Minolta, but it certainly won out in the construction category.

I think if the GR1V worked perfectly, it would really be quite a nifty tool.  The ability to change aperture on a dial on the camera  and zone focus at 1, 2 and 3 meters is quite cool.  I just wish the flash could work at high shutter speeds.  

Any way, those compact film camera are really cool and I think everyone should have one (that works properly)  :)

The Contax was also on my radar, but in Germany they are still very expensive, up to 900 Euro in some cases. I also liked the Ricoh, but the Minolta is a more compact. It is really a gem. Easy to use, you can push your film manually with on click, pre focus, fast autofocus...I had this camera in Iran with me and to be honest on my monitor I see no difference to my Leica lenses.

Today I tried the Adox Fx-39 for the first time. Not a good photo to evaluate its quality, but I will see...

To be honest it was no Leica today, I used the Minolta TC-1 with a fixed 28 mm lens. It is a beautiful very small analog compact camera with a fast autofocus and I am impressed about the quality. 

best regards

No more fog, but today's bright sunshine over a frozen pond deep in the woods gives a veiled look:

For us Barnack owners, let me be more precise: those compact film cameras with auto-focus, flash, an internal light meter, and the ability to manually choose the aperture and focus distance are really cool and I think everyone should have one (that works properly)   :)

I've used several ltm lenses (amongst others a 35/2.8 summaron with ltm-m adaptor), which work perfectly on my CL. No problems with the rangefinder. However some lenses with a large protruding rear element can be a problem, because of the lightmeter. I've got no experience with a 28 mm summaron, but a 25mm Biogon Zeiss works fine. But I guess you'll be needing an external viewfinder, because the viewfinder is approximately 35mm in the CL. The CLE should have 28mm framelines.

Another Ektar 100 view of Paris from you-know-where.  The monstrosity otherwise known as the Tour Montparnasse is in the far distance.

Thanks Keith a great shot from Eiffel tower

Beautiful lawn of the Champ de Mars in foreground

 

About Montparnasse tower as you said , when I first saw the tower in the 1970s, I find it not pretty
because it distorts a little the landscape of Paris. Now it is part of the landscape  for people of Paris

like The Louvre Pyramid.
