Fantastic sets, Eoin! The otus works wonderfully with film, and it's a real technical prowess to focus manually on the moving motorcycles. I think you captured the atmosphere of bangkok suburbs very well. Also the color in the yellow flower shot is so beautiful.

Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

thank you, Edward. I only had a very short time to head outside get some shooting in before dark. The great thing about flowers is that they don't move s fast as motorbikes do.

I hope I get to meet up with you during one of my future trips up there.

Eoin is this camera ?

and what lens on Eoin ?

Nice color and street photos

Yes, Henry. It's the HS version, which can shoot film at a terrifying 10fps. The shots above were all with Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4, which is manual focus. It was starting to get dark, so I couldn't stop down and keep the shutter speed up. Portra 400 would have been a better choice, but Ektar is what I had with me.

B&W for me Henry, the colour shot is too dark, moody perhaps, but too dark.

Gary

 

Hi Gary thank you for your advice :)  ...   good guy you are :)

 

I'll refrain from making the color in these conditions , or do as GaryGS advises :

correct with Capture One or Light Room  .  The color is more difficult to have in the shade,

logic since we have no light.  That's why I don't agree with digital camera  to distort the

atmosphere and finally the photo , by increasing the Isos ... and also increases the "background

noise"  of the sensor, not beautiful to see when enlarged !

 

.... in addition :) "make a night photo like a day photo", it is not reasonable and for me it deceives

the one who looks at the picture. It is an imposture  :angry:

 

 

Another solution : Gary I'll push KP160 to 400 Isos the next time

 

 

Here another picture in bad light condition in b&w

Thanks, Henry. Bellamy helped me track down my SWC in Japan.

 

Eoin, I think you mounted a good lens like the Zeiss Otus 

So you know Bellamy I hope meet him during my next trip to Japan

I think he lives in Tokyo :)

Regards

Henry

 

Have you tried to mount a R lens like a R Summicron 50 or Summicron 35 like Gary ?

R SLR Leica Lens are not expensive now !

Technically speaking the general  rendering of the Summilux 50 Asph is outstanding !

Here a picture inside the Senanque Abbey  :)

Hi, Henry. I contacted Bellamy when I was looking for a SWC, and my wife was making a trip to Japan. He was very helpful.

 

I don't have any R lenses, and I doubt if I'll be increasing my lens stable for some time to come, as I have pretty much all of the 35mm glass I want (yes, we know where those sort of statements lead...).

 

I already had the Zeiss lenses, along with several other EF-mount lenses, for use on my 1DX, so the 1V was a natural next step. It works a treat (although I only use it in single shot currently).

Says the guy who seems to be tempted by an Olympus OM!

 

I just spent an interesting evening tracking down a second Zuiko 50/1.4, as my early single-coated example plainly isn't going to be very sharp wide open. It seems one has to find one of the final of four versions for that, with a serial number of 11xxxxx or higher, which are multi-coated and have other improvements. Even then, it's no Summilux. No matter, an 85mm/f2 turns up tomorrow, and it is said to be exquisitely sharp like a Summicron 75. I'm not sure I ought to worry much about these things, as I believe Jane Bown - Mrs Moss, married to the Moss of Moss Bros tailors - used an OM-1 with an early 50/1.4 after she was made to give up her Rolleiflex. She did OK with Samuel Beckett:

and since she is not well known, enjoy this trailer for a film about her:

 

 

It's well worth tracking down the full documentary.

Thanks, Eoin :)

The green of the water looks particularly enticing, Adam.

 

Now that's what I'm talking about.  Great intimacy in these!  I can just feel the exhaust fumes through my monitor, though  :o

Sorry Eoin I have not read you have the Zeiss Otus f/1.4  ! 

 

Yes just to compare Leica lens and Zeiss in example !

A lens is good , specially when you make a crop , the definition and sharpness must be intact :)

Thanks for your reply
