Doc Henry Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share #9561 Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Following an accident during the autumn, my 50/1.4 Asph has been on a "retreat" in Wetzlar since November, but today it returned (and rather weirdly the sender is listed on the parcel as a "Herr Mandler"...). Here are two shots to celebrate this fantastic lens, though they clearly don't do justice to its abilities. The background is that I went to Brussels quite regularly during 2014 to work on an EU project and once got stranded in Antwerp. These are two (unedited; just "developed" in ColorPerfect) shots from Antwerp Central, which architecturally is a very beautiful station (both TTL, 50/1.4 Asph and Superia 200 and Coolscan 9000). Flickr Flickr Nice pictures and color Philip Good news for your Summilux a great lens and checked by Herr Mandler himself Erwin Puts said " great image quality at all apertures and designed by Peter Karbe" Best Henry Edited January 13, 2016 by Doc Henry 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lleo Posted January 14, 2016 Share #9562 Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I'm a bit of an astronomy nut so finding myself in a dark(ish) site over Christmas I thought I should photograph the stars on Christmas Eve with the full Moon (first on Christmas Eve since 1977, I believe). Well, things don't always go as hoped. I knew the Moon would blow out and was OK with that because I wanted the stars to show so exposed accordingly. Well, that's a bit of an overstatement - I put the M4 on Bulb, pressed the cable release and counted to two. Or was it four? It certainly wouldn't have been more because the stars would have trailed. But that flare! Still, I think it adds a certain I don't know what to the image. Flaw, probably Flickr M4 50/2 v3 Superia 400 That's really nice pic, Philip. It reminds us how tiny we are. Also. Reminded me of my all-time favourite painter. Look here: Look at the little house and its lights. Edited January 14, 2016 by lleo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted January 14, 2016 Share #9564 Posted January 14, 2016 Thank you very much for the very flattering comparison. Seeing this I wish I'd included more of the house as a nice counter-weight to the sky. That's really nice pic, Philip. It reminds us how tiny we are. Also.

philipus Posted January 14, 2016 Share #9565 Posted January 14, 2016 I really love the flare on this one Jean-Marc, and the perspective is great. My shots from this spot are decisively less creative.

Who is that man? by chrism229, on Flickr Chris Chris - crazy good. My favorite is the first. A stand alone very framable image. The last could also be really superb if your beautiful girlish figure wasn't decorating it Seriously, the SWC is really one of the best cameras out there. The lens is distortion free and never disappoints. As for the lack of foreground visibility from the external (and only) VF, I would highly recommend that you invest a very modest sum and get a ground glass focus screen and a prism, which attaches to the focus screen. Below are links to the right parts. I use this nearly all the time. You get a very clear view of what the lens if seeing and can use it to confirm what is in the frame and the precise focus. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hasselblad-Ground-Glass-41025-SWC-38mm-Superwide-SWC-M-903-905-User-/291653875450?hash=item43e7ecf6fa:g:ekwAAOSwYIhWjJOK http://www.ebay.com/itm/HASSELBLAD-PRISM-VIEWFINDER-NC-2-EXCELLENT-CONDITION-52027-45-/121855408336?hash=item1c5f25f8d0:g:lvQAAOSwFqJWiIsi Although I would have like to see the Ektar with this reddish color palette, the portra 160 does an AMAZING job. The color palette is really magnificent and image is very sharp. And it has a "from Mars" feeling to it. Well done! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Adam, alas not, I took the shot. It is a Japanese friend who was working in NZ at the time. He liked fishing, but didn't expect to have the whole park to himself, quite unusual for him.
