Here's a grab shot from last summer, taken on the island of Storholmen outside Stockholm on a day without wind. A bit of a stress test for the 80 Planar.

You know I love the nature and specially poppies

I am comparing red and green color between different films.

 

Here the first picture with Kodak Portra 400

Another example of Portra 400's rich colours (MP & 35mm Summaron f2.8).  Brantome riverside.

And now something a bit different... using the M6 and XP2 again. I don't think this shot would have caught my eye through the smaller viewfinder of the Contax T2.

 

That's definitely part of the Leica magic for me: a titanic and uncluttered viewfinder. I also looked through the viewfinder of an M3 a couple of months ago, and it was a step larger still. And as I only ever use the 50mm anyway (I've heard the M3's viewfinder is too big to deal with a 35mm lens) then that may be the way I'll go when I'm finally ready to let go of the internal metering.

 

Incidentally, we had another foggy day on the 1st, and my wife and I had a (cold) walk along an unbelievably magical lakeside. I of course took my M6 and snapped away a roll of film, running out of frames well before I ran out of compositions of trees, reeds, you name it. The light was of course amazing. Halfway through I realised I was ignoring the metering and doing my thing. Now *that's* a step for me... will be interested in seeing the results. If they're ok, I'm gonna take the bloody battery out of the M6 and see where that takes me.

Great, great pic. Perfect for a big size print to hang on the wall.

These are always my favorites.

 

When all of the other shots are forgotten, these prints will come out of the shoebox when your children are grown up and they will have fun looking at them over and over again.

 

My only advice? 

 

Either buy a Canon CP910 Dye Sub printer and print them at 4x6 and keep them in a shoe box...OR...buy the darkroom gear and print them that way.

 

Either way...PRINT THEM! :)

 

 

Pictures don't live until they can be held in your hand and passed around.

Could not agree more - although my sons may not always agree!  In 40+ years time, how many of todays digital files will be readily available to show?  (An old argument, I know - so best not go there!)

Daaad, where's reverse?  Summer 1974, Ilford FP4, either Pentacon 6 or Mamiya C3 (cropped).

I find this a superb photograph. Brilliant detail: WSNY on the manhole cover. Getting the lady in mid-step; the legs and their shadow look like the Bluetooth icon to me. The light and shadow distribution is very appealing and balanced. Great picture!

Thanks, Suede.  I appreciate the comment. I hadn't even paid attention to the manhole cover.  Shame on me...

Thank you Christoph. The v 3 is one I'm also curious about, together with the v 4. I look forward to seeing an example from it.

 

 

...

 

 

Philipus,

 

Here, as promised some pictures taken with the v3:

Shibuya crossing Tokyo. A fantastic place to "bath" in the crowd and take pictures of people passing by.

Set on f11 and 2m, everything from 1m to infinity is sharp...

I would guess that the v4 has a slightly better coating to deal with the rather strong light... (FP-4)

 

 

Same day somewhere else in Tokyo we met this dog and its owner.

Again, f11 or so and a guessed close distance yielded this photograph. (PX-125)

One more taken with the 28 v3, this time in Lisbon. Early morning meant little light, so here the aperture was set to 2.8.

Still leaves enough sharpness to nicely draw the background. (Fomapan 100)

Nice, Christoph.  But the v4 doesn't handle direct light any better.  For that, you need the supremeness of the 28mm summaron  :ph34r:, which consumes glare and flare like a sun god...

Henry. I love the poppy series. Wonderful colours.

Thank you Trev

the little  history : :)

Every year, I go hunting for poppies in my area  by car as material at the beginning

I have only M digital (M8,M9)  and after M analog (M7,MP for b&w).

As I said earlier , the digital pictures do not suit me (too thin petal as "cigarette paper",

edges too perfect,  "sharp" as a razor, color not satisfactory)  and since I only photograph

with M7 and MP :D

Best

Henry

I'll post for you poppies with Fuji film and Kodacrome :)

Thanks, Henry.  These are examples of the supremeness of the 28mm summaron.  Film was portra 400 in all.  

Everyone who uses a 28mm on film should have a summaron... :p   It is slow but a gem for those bright light situations...
