gbealnz Posted February 7, 2017 Share #27761 Posted February 7, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I snapped up an SWC/M a couple of months ago! Wow. I love it! Very much!! So versatile for such a 'basic' camera. I'll have to get around to uploading some of my scans from it... Ah, another one converted, awesome. We need to form an SWC group, somewhere, LOL.

I'd appreciate a little feedback on this post if that's OK. If this is not the place please say and I'll delete the post.

Essentially though I am not ever going to buy an M10, it just isn't me, and the cost to me is simply something I cannot justify. I do however enjoy shooting digital, as and when it suits me. I am not hard nosed anti-digital, and use either if and whenever. My digital cameras now are simply the old and lovely X-Vario, and a new Fuji X-Pro2. Of late I have been trying to do a comparison, X-Pro2 to the film camera I have in operation at the time. This is either the M6 or the R8. It's difficult in many ways, but the biggest "difference" is the M or R is full frame, whereas the Fuji is APS. I ran a comparison, M6 with the 50 Summicron M, and the X-Pro2 with the 35 Summicron M, which gives similar but not exact field of view, and the lenses are of a "similar" vintage, so "look" the same. Is there a difference? Indeed, but nobody would argue otherwise, they ARE different. Which do I prefer? Neither/both. Digital is cleaner, sharper, and quicker, no fuss, take the pic, upload via the phone and e mail it if I want. Film I must shoot, hope like heck I got the shot, process the film, and scan (or print). Two different disciplines, each with their own strengths, and weakness. One thing is likely, you can have a play with the X-Pro2 in August, it will be along for the ride, accompanied by the M6, and the SWC, I'm going the whole hog.

But keep writing as you say it brings purpose and depth work and is an avenue for your thoughts. Charles 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted February 7, 2017 Share #27775 Posted February 7, 2017 Thank you Gary, I would certainly like to see that panorama. I've wanted to shoot the sun using filters since I saw this shot. Thank you Philip. No real tips, I took three frames, and possibly could have used just the two, I like a bit more overlap. Aligned them within Photoshop, and blended the edges as well, sometimes I use the eraser tool to make the edges a bit softer. I had plenty of practice when I was shooting solar Ha pictures, I could post one but it's with non-Leica, a webcam no less. I can e mail you one if you like. These solar shots were often composites of nine or more separate shots. With that sort of work you either get good or give up. Gary Delightful Keith. Acros in Rodinal seems a very good combo. br Philip Another from Saturday afternoon on the Marlborough Downs. 1957 Leica IIIg, 1951 Summicron 5cm Collapsible, Acros100, Rodinal. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
