Advertisement Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Hi Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
STK Posted June 26, 2017 Share #35162 Posted June 26, 2017 So this morning I decided to go out and shoot a few Kuala Lumpur Landmarks. I love this city, such a diverse culture and amazingly friendly people. I actually parked my car in the middle of the road (four way flashers on) and set up my tripod and Chamonix 8x10 to shoot the Parliament building. Low and behold a police car pulled up and was about to tell me to move when he saw my camera and was like Waaa CTFCO. So we got chatting and I told him that I worked in Nigeria and lived in KL. He said why Malaysia , so I told him that KL is my home and that I love KL.............it put a massive smile on his face and he got in his car and left. All pictures are taken with Ilford HP5+ 8x10 film and developed with D76 The the first picture is Putrajaya Parliament Neil's-Photography052.jpg The second picture is of Seri-Gemilang-Bridge Neil's-Photography051.jpg I have some more negatives hanging out to dry, I will post them later Enjoy Simply great work 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share #35163 Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Wonderful colors Henry , film is simply great! As you said Stefan , film is great but color is not from me but from Kodak Thank you for your nice comment I never go in other threads , full of digital photos and I do not like commenting , you probably noticed it ! Because , although the picture is interesting in terms of composition , the rest is not good , especially the color (magenta sometimes with the M240, red not red, green not green etc....) I have lots of pictures of M8 and M9 but I do not post them here , you know now why ! Best Henry Edited June 26, 2017 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted June 26, 2017 Share #35165 Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) I'm afraid I don't know about the 160 CB but have you considered the 150 C T*? It will be older than the CF and it uses the Compur shutter so spare parts are supposed to be difficult to find if needed, but the optics are identical to the CF and it is a light-weight at 710gr. Of course you'd have to make sure to get serviced one or budget for that to be done. Being a C it will have interlocked shutter speed and aperture rings so it will be a little bit different to use from a CF (or do you have the 60 C?) but it's not a major difference I find using my 50 Distagon C. Depending on if you use filters and which 60 you have, one thing which might make the C a bad choice is that it uses bayonet 50 filters. br Philip Thanks for the responses chaps (striking colours, Erl) One important point of concern for me is weight & the 150mm CF (Sonnar) weighs in at >800g, which is 100g or so heavier than my 60mm Distagon. Knowing the effects of lugging the 500C + Distagon around for an hour or so has prompted me to consider the 160mm CB (650g). Yes I know it is only f4.8 compared to the 150mm's f4 but I'm prepared to trade half a stop for a 150g weight-saving (I know, what a wimp!). Any views on optical qualities of the 160mm CB (Tessar)?

EoinC Posted June 27, 2017 Share #35166 Posted June 27, 2017 Unfortunately the picture didn't turn out as I visualised .........sometimes it happens like that The main thing is that the negative contains the composition, details, and tones that you require. With this, all is not lost: Next time you print this, Neil, have a go at exposing the paper a bit longer and dodging over the main tree. That will make the background darker / main tree lighter, ensuring it is not lost in the forest. It's slightly more difficult with a contact than a projected image, but your main tree is a substantial block, and doesn't need delicacy in dodging. Perhaps cut out a slightly undersized card copy of the the tree shape to use. Run test strips to see how much exposure extension / dodging is required. You may want to try first on your scan in Lightroom / Photoshop to get an idea on what you want to achieve on your final wet print. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on if you use filters and which 60 you have, one thing which might make the C a bad choice is that it uses bayonet 50 filters. br Philip Thanks Philip. I'm familiar with the interlocking rings as my 500C came with a chrome 80mm Planar (1969 vintage), so a similar configuration 150 C T* would not be a problem handling-wise. Similarly for filter size, I have Bay 50 UV & yellow/green ones. There are quite a few elderly 150's on eBay but I am not too keen on buying from there, but if I spot one at a dealer, I might be tempted... As regards the 160 CB my 60mm Distagon is also a CB, for which I have a Bay 60 yellow filter already. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaDeVa Posted June 27, 2017 Share #35175 Posted June 27, 2017 Hello Guys, I will be in London (near Mayfair) for a couple of days: it is a business trip, so I will not have much free time, but I would like to visit some good camera shop. Any suggestion? In particular, do you have any suggestion of any shop where I can buy film at a good price? Thank you in advance for your suggestions! regards, Massimo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted June 27, 2017 Share #35178 Posted June 27, 2017 Not a great photo but it opened my eyes to the capabilities of the little lens in the Minox 35GT. The 100% crop is from a 2000dpi scan on my Coolscan 9000. Of course, I have processed the photo, which means using Adobe Camera Raw's various sliders and sharpening. Still I didn't expect to be able to almost read the text on the cockpit or whatever that thing is called on a crane. Rollei Retro 80S in Diafine Flickr Welcome, dear visitor!

Keith (M) Posted June 27, 2017 Share #35180 Posted June 27, 2017 Just to finish off my decision-making progress re a 150mm CF or 160mm CB for my 500C, a discussion on APUG led to to the name Kornelius Fischer of Zeiss. A quick Google turned up this quotation on a Flickr Group:- "I can offer this information from inside Zeiss: Of all the new Zeiss lenses in the Hasselblad system (generation CFi, CFE, CB), the Tessar 160 CB is the very best in terms of straylight handling. And it balances very well with a camera body in handheld work. If you are after colors with utmost purity, or shadows with unparalleled tonal range in b & w, your best choice is the Tessar 160 CB. Readers and talkers have downgraded the reputation of this lens over years. Those who have really used it and have educated eyes to see the subleties in their photos, have a quite different appreciation for this lens. I do use it without hesitation, and I prefer it over its neighboring Sonnar 150 and 180. Hope this makes clear what I really think about the Tessar 160 CB.Get it, enjoy it!"Kornelius J. Fleischer ( from Zeiss Oberkochen) More than good enough for me - I will be adding a 160 CB to my Hasselblad armoury! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
