What do you think?

James I feel only a good side :)

 

You're right to purchase film cameras instead new digital cam.

 

For the M3 one of the best camera of Leica , if some dusts are seen in the finder,

for me it's not important. I have also some dusts in my 2 SLR. You don't need battery ...

all is mechanical

For the vulcanite you can change yourself if you are an expert :) Aki Asahi is a good choice

Your M4P looks also fine and the vulcanite is still good ....

 

now just put one roll of film and go James .....

Congrats for your 2 new companions

Best

Henry

 

 

Congrats. The 50 DR is a fantastic lens. Right up your alley. I have mine on my M3 right now here in Israel. I just love the classic rendering. Much like th classic look of your photos of your family that you have shared. As for the color of the vulcanite, I would vote for baby blue as a first choice and navy as my second choice. The baby blue would, IMHO, look cool with the chrome

 

 

Thank you both for your feedback and support :) I am not yet set in my color choice. The Blue Lizard Emboss might be the deal, because the light blue seems to be a real eye-catcher and might add some freshness to this timeless piece of camera design. I think I will decide tomorrow and place my order. If there is some interest, I will drop a note about the process of applying the new covering.

 

In the meantime another sample from my Minilux, which is a joy to use. This time on Silvermax, developed in Rodinal 1+50 (@21°C for 10 minutes):

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

Thanks, Henry. I teally have no idea what that structure was used for. it doesnt have a lot of "zen" symmetry, but it looked interesting in the VF. The VF of the SWC looked seemingly more interesting; but i also took some photos with the 80mm planar. We shall see!!

 

  

 

 

Phil - wow, that is EXACTLY the photo i was thinking of!! WOW!!! That says a lot - a lot about the ESP between us :) and also a lot about Jean Marc's photo. There is something about the blacks and overall contrast rendition that made the connection for me.

 

Nice job, Jean Marc!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well that's quite a inspiring chain of thoughts and rather generous of you ! See where contrast and deep blacks can lead us ...!!

Thanks a lot , I love that photo of Martine Franck and it was taken in "Le Brusc" , a small town where my parents actually live ... I have never thru the years encountered that swimming pool yet will inquire for sure ,   I'll be there  again next month :-)

 

Some more from the TriX - Gr1V combo:

Cheers, Jean-Marc ( out of "Thanks" for the day : You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day )

 

 

These are really beautifully-done, atmospheric pictures, too, Jean-Marc.

 

It's funny about the similarities in "feel" between Jean-Marc's earlier photo and that classic of Martine Franck's. I have a book at home from 1980 - Contact:Theory* in which Franck describes the process of shooting this picture. Unfortunately she doesn't mention the name of the hotel, but the architect was Alain Capeilleres, it was taken in 1976 just after the swimming pool had been completed, and she took frame 17a at 1/1000th f16 on Tri-X. If you can find it, Jean-Marc, please take a picture or two and post it here!

 

* A really wonderful book that is well worth getting if you happen to find it (Abe books and Amazon have some for around $10). Funnily enough the publisher, LUSTRUM PRESS, was founded by Ralph Gibson when he couldn't get anyone to publish his own books - which takes us back to another really good picture by (I think) Artisan from a few pages back where the person in the photo was reading a Ralph Gibson book. Spooky.

Cheers, Jean-Marc.

Jean-Marc,

 

Your photos are always a joy to look at (Like Adam and Phil I was reminded of Martine Franck's picture too when seeing your earlier contribution), and I am curious what your investigations will turn up. In the meantime I am inspired by your pictures from that famous city of the dead in BsAs, which brings back some memories...

I'm amazed by your butterfly shots, Ian. Truly wonderful. Every time I even begin contemplating thinking of considering to approach one I've spotted it leaves. I think I managed to fix one on a piece of emulsion of some kind in France last month but we shall see when I've scanned my rolls (which will be after the impending house move).

 

 

Thanks Philip. Some species are easier to approach than others but generally it comes down to a bit of practice and anticipating where the butterflies might be feeding on nectar. Quite often the butterflies are so engaged in what they are doing that they become almost oblivious to what I'm doing (provided I don't make any sudden movements or get close enough to blot out the light). With the Blues (probably my favourite species) they are usually much easier to photograph first thing in the morning or late in the day when they tend to just sit catching the sun with their wings outspread.

 

Here's a Ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus) on bramble flowers. If I hadn't seen it previously moving about I probably would have missed it (the colour of its wings almost perfectly matching the browns of the bramble).
