Wayne Posted April 16, 2017 Share #30801 Posted April 16, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Now you understand why I love going to Europe. Nothing here like this, our country is too young. Gary Yes, Gary, too true - Australia is also bereft of quaint little villages and scenes like this. We are lucky if we are able to travel and see these things, and lucky in other ways to live in the countries we do. The photos of Europe make me think of history. The photos of NZ make me think of Heaven. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hiles Posted April 16, 2017 Share #30802 Posted April 16, 2017 The 798 Art District of Beijing was built some years ago in a defunct factory. Some of the factory infrastructure was left in place, although no longer functional. Welcome, dear visitor!

Martin B Posted April 16, 2017 Share #30803 Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) One Leica you have to be careful with when shooting IR film is the M7. To automatically read the DX coding it originally had build-in metal contacts at the place of the film cassette. Later these were replaced by an arrangement to read out the DX coding optically using LEDs. That second arrangement is not suitable for IR films. Leica lenses commonly don't have an IR focus mark as the focus differences are changing with each IR wavelength (filter) used. I read somewhere that most lenses are adjusted to perform best at green. The optimal focus distance shifts when using a 720 (or 092) filter, and shifts even more when using a 820 (or 093) filter. When contacting Leica a few years back they advised that, as starting point for experiments one could use the focal length times 300 to focus at infinity. For example, for a 50mm lens the approximate point to focus an IR image at infinity would be 50mm x 300 = 15 m. I do not know if the APO lenses are also corrected for IR wavelength. If so, then, obviously, the focus would not need to be adjusted for IR photography. My biggest regret is that most fims offered for IR photography are only sensitive in the very near IR spectrum up to 750 nm. But I agree with Gary that films such as Rollei Superpan are nice as they can be used for dual-purposees, particularly for landscape photography. Looking forward to more of your IR work appearing here, Rgds Christoph Hi Christoph, thanks for this very good advice therein! Yes, I also have a M7 and was hesitant using it for my IR film due to the DX coding reader. Not sure which kind of reader I have in my M7 model - the old one or the LED based one. Fortunately I have the M6 also which works just beautiful with IR film. Very good hint to estimate the focus point with factor 300. I will certainly keep this in mind and test it next time. With wide angle lenses I should see the difference in focus point more than with tele lenses. And I also found what you are saying - that most films are only sensitive up to 740-750 nm. Thanks, Martin Edited April 16, 2017 by Martin B 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted April 16, 2017 Share #30804 Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) They are considering the new ISO 80 film in the Film forum. How about some ISO 3? First go-round with this Svema ISO 3 film. I thought some might be interested in results.....And I thought the lens was the key to that "old photos" look. All were shot at F2 in broad daylight. Zeiss Tenax, 40mm Sonnar. Welcome, dear visitor!

Wayne Posted April 16, 2017 Share #30813 Posted April 16, 2017 I am curious as to what are your conclusions about the ISO 3 film. The advantage I see is the capacity to shoot wide open in very bright lighting. The images I posted are stand developed in 1/100 Rodinal. As you can see, the 80 to 90 year old Zeiss Sonnar is uncoated and does flare quite a bit. Today I loaded a roll of the film in my M7 and shot with my new 28mm Summicron Aspherical. I am pretty excited to see the result. Overall, even with the limited result, I like the vintage look of the images. If M7 images turn out well, I am going to order 100' of the stuff. I own a couple ND filters and have used them in the past to gain advantage of wider aperture in bright lighting. I find the filters to be a bit of a PIA. This ISO 3 stuff could be the answer. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In re-reading, I do not mean to imply you did not do an excellent job of taking this photograph. Just the opposite.
