A very nice contre-jour picture, Doc. Please, how did you come to be using Raymond Depardon's camera (if that is what your description indicates)?

 

Stray, no my camera is not Raymond Depardon's camera . I want just to say ,  it's a very fast camera > 120 milliseconds, as said Depardon. I translate below what he said :

 

"I started using Leica devices in 1960. I started with the M2. I had gone to the Algerian war for an expedition to test human resistance to heat. We had witnessed a tragedy: seven conscripts of the contingent had been lost in the Sahara. We managed to save three. Back in Paris, I was stolen my camera, but not the photos, which by chance had remained in my locker of the Agency Dalmas, my first agency. I cried. Today I work with the M7, the fastest camera in the world. Its latency is the shortest, 120 milliseconds between pressing the shutter button and shooting. Some devices do not follow and do not trigger immediately. This one triggers very quickly. Ten times faster than any other digital camera.

 

It is essential to be able to capture a moment as the affectionate gesture of a man for his companion in a street in La Paz or Potosi in Bolivia. The photographer always guilts to miss a picture. I call it mistakes of time. With this device, I increase my chances. I did not go digital and when asked, I reply that I just switched to color! My work will always remain

Of my generation, stuck between the Cartier-Bresson or Doisneau in search of the "decisive moment" and the younger photographers loving more the atmosphere and the staging. I am sensitive to the natural elegance of people. I try to keep my eyes as pure as possible.

 

I traveled a lot, often alone, and my Leica was my only companion. Then I finally succumbed to the fashion of the reflex, but everyone was posing and we were losing moments. So I came back to the Leica. Handling this unit takes time. And since this is not a DSLR, what you see in the viewfinder is not what you take a picture.

This gives him a working-class character, a craftsman whom I love very much"

And a nod to Adam, this looked great in colour, but of course, who has colour in their camera when such a picture presents itself.

I'll return and do it in colour of course.

Well, I just took posession of an Olympus Trip 35; a zone focusing, all auto, no choices, point and shoot. I got it for my wife who just likes to..."point and shoot" so we ran a roll through it to make sure it was in good working order.

 

I must say, it's an amazing little camera. The exposure choices were spot on and even though the inside shots defaulted to 1/40, there was no blur/shake on any of the images.

 

I'm very impressed.

 

This is Kentmere 400 shot at 400 (no choice; the camera reads the code) and dev'd in D76 1:1.

 

the first image is our lunch (with the ever-present Nikon FM2n) and the second shot is me, taken by the wife, slightly backlit. I had her point the camera to the shade away from the direction of the sun and then half -press the shutter to lock the exposure and then since it's zone focusing, you just point it at me! That's as technical as it gets with this camera.

Hello Henry,

 

I think that there might be some sort of error in the translation here.

 

It is my understanding that the shutter delay on MECHANICAL "M" camera shutters is 20 milliseconds after the shutter is tripped. That is to say: 1/50 of a second.

 

Best Regards,

Thank you very much for explaining all of this, Henry. Especially for including the words of RD - I find his thoughts extremely interesting and I will copy them down and keep them for inspiration.

 

With best regards, and wishing you a wonderful 2017, Phil
