This is a more conventional version of a scene that i shared last week.

Rather than the 80mm planar i used the Hassy SWC (38mm)

 

Across with either an orange or red filter.

 

Lower Manhattan.

No shortage of work for window-cleaners!  A pleasing composition with lots to hold the attention.

Bookstore at night

Agfavista 200. 

Shutter at 1/4 seconds. Hand held. 

Om-1 with Zuiko 50mm 1.4

I have a later serial number version of OM-1 and the mirror slap is so minimal and cushioned on that body that is pretty mind blowing.

I think they improved the shutter design from the earlier Om-1 versions as the production went.  

 

I feel the Om-1 is the closest to Leica experience I ever got when shooting SLR. Those Zuikos are amazing also. What an amazing and handsome camera. 

How many of you lads shot with one and what have been your impressions ?

I remember having to guess how many peanuts in a jar, at a local fair.

This pics immediately makes me want to guess how many windows can you see!

SP nice picture and well framing

but black seems to me a little "blocked" when converted , in comparison with a b&w film

OK, a change from the landscapes! Before venturing forth onto the Ridgeway, I quickly took some interior shots with the 60mm Macro Elmarit-R, including some close-focus ones (hand-held).  (I also took some quite pleasing phtos of my wife beavering away at the sowing machine but she would probably kill me were I to post them here!)

 

Work In Progress (focus was on the seam).

Remote (focus on the nearest text).

Today's camera was one of the OM-2ns (the one with the little US flag on a shield which was an Olympus promotion for the 1984 Olympics in LA). I do find them Leica-like in size, quietness and simplicity; they make me think just the right amount in that I have to pay attention to focus and metering, but I have enough time and attention span left to deal with framing and composition (perhaps not very successfully). The F6s tend to make things a little too easy, but their metering is more accurate than the OM-2ns'. The Pan F is currently cooking for an hour in 1+100 Rodinal, the first time I have tried this.

With my Leicaflex SL (1970) refurbished by Wetzlar recently I spend to-day

to take some macro photos with "extension tubes".

 

One test with Elmarit 90mm and another test with Elmarit 135

the focus is under 0.30 m and much easier with the 135 mm

 

I recommand this combo for your macrophotos

 

Here two photos of the equipment

 

mount with Elmarit 90mm : the focus is nearer and image a little bigger, but less bokeh

and mount with Elmarit 135 with nice bokeh in background .

You can see very well here "extension tubes"

 

 

M9-35 Lux Asph

 

Another equipment :

Tripod (here a Gitzo) + flexible shutter-release indispensable

 

The focus with 135 is easier and the easiness is better than with 90 , but image is less big....

The second advantage of using 135 mm is the obtention of an image with nice bokeh in background .

 

The first mount with 90mm reminds me the use of Elpro with the Summicron 50 (Thanks Gary) :)

and it's a bit difficult to focus , especially when windy time !

 

.... but all macro photography needs patience :)

 

 

 

I will develop. soon the Kodak Portra roll  and I'll post here some photos .

...but you'll  say me , why you don't use the digital camera to photograph (because on picture

posted above , color seems nice but as all of you already know here ,  color is approximate,

that's the reason I photograph macro with film)

 

Good macrophotos to all of you.... and "I love film"

Best

Excellent IMHO in many ways. The b&w blends your artist with the background, the stones give a nice perspective, and this is one of the subject matters where films such as the Delta - with their ability to capture nuances of grays - work really well.

Thanks a lot, Christopher, for your kind comment. It's one of my very first Delta 100 attempts and I, too, like the greyscale rendering that's justified the use of the Summicron-M 35mm ASPH.

I'm enjoying your mountain scapes Howard, particularly the feeling of intimacy, making one feel as if one is looking over your shoulder.

Thanks. In the case of this shot you are looking over my shoulder. I'm the subject of the photo!

Photos in post #37196 were with the 60mm Macro Elmarit so here is one trying out the 35mm Elmarit-R III.
