Ha Miles Davis great musician and in vinyl disc ... :)

I know some people who sold all their vinyl discs with cheap price and now regret

because it's a best support in comparison with CD , exactly like film versus digital

 

Nostalgia , nostalgia Sixteen ... nice color

Faster than a speeding train for sure Adam.

Nicely captured.

 

How do you find the 250/5.6? The body can handle it mounted OK? No tripod mount on the lens?

I'm contemplating the 250/4.0FE. At 920g, it's just a little lighter than your SA, but without tripod mount.

 

Not one I'd use too often, but with SWC/60/110, it'd be handy to have. Pretty impossible to find much info on these Hasselblad telephotos.

 

Hi Richard - my 250 superachromat is probably the lens in my collection (including all my Leica and MF Zeiss lenses) that i revere the most. Despite what I thought when I bought the lens , it has become more than just "handy" to have. I actually use it quite often for tightly framed landscapes. . I have also used it with my 16mm extension tube and it works great and also my 2x Mutar tele-converter. It is relatively compact especially compared to the 500 mm. There is no need and in fact no way to attach the lens to a tripod. Having said this, it needs to be used with a strong tripod and is very sensitive to any motion from wind or whatever. Provided that the land is completely stable, the resulting images will be among the sharpest that zeiss ( or anyone else ) can offer

Yes, Doc, Kodak; probably Color Plus 200.

 

I'm usually careless not keeping track of which film I use. Today, I'm going to Grenoble – to the lab that does dev and scans for me. Just shy of 60 rolls since about October 2016! For the trip, I was disciplined and made notes... more or less  :D

Thanks Adam. High praise indeed considering all those other lenses with ZEISS (or Leitz/Leica) written on the front I imagine you have.

 

I'll investigate the f/4.0 FE option first as it's a lot cheaper (almost 1/4 the price), a bit smaller and for my type of use (landscape/the odd surf shot) I think probably adequate.

I do have a good tripod and monster ball head (RRS BH55) that should hold it all tight. Thanks for the feedback.

That would be a good price for a 250FE methinks. I've only seen them for just south of 1000 Eur. Btw I take it you have a 2xx series body? That lens is focal plane only.

 

I have the 350/4 FE for my 203FE which obviously is a massive lens. I'm still in two minds about it. Optically it is nice but I don't think it is even near the 250 SA in quality. Then again having the aperture automation is useful with such a long lens.

Sublime Klaus, really terrific. It would look amazing printed large on a wall.

Thank you, Edward!

Simply amazing!

 

 

Thank you, Mark - yes, the T3 is brilliant, my only analog camera in regular use. Every serious mountain trip and photo project  - the T3 is with me.

Great photo.
Lovely colour.

The T3 is a fabulous camera
One of my all time favourites that I often take with me, even on a digital expedition.

 

(: Thank you!

Excellent, Peter.  This made Mark Penny's hair stand up :)

Pete , I know you must follow your present time , but I am afraid that it's another step of digitalizing

.... a "film" picture with its grain . Don't forget you can print your image. Scanner or other similar

way meets also (and  always) square pixels , "smoothing" after by software of the camera or scanner,

the result is edges and lines hypernet and finally a "digital aspect" ... like in digital camera.

If you like film , it's better you photograph with film as support

If I don't post here on LF , I don't scan my pictures.

 

Best

Henry

 

 

Still - whats your point ?

You can digitalize negative/positive film with any digital camera.

Sure the new Nikon has 45 megapixel and a big dynamic rage

but I bet a lot of normal film scanner still kick ass if you handle them right !

If you like less black , like in winter take Ilford HP5

 

Both have nice grains > advantage of film and the great difference is "natural" grain :)

"not added" or created by photo software :angry:

Thanks Henry,
Kodak X-Plus 125 developed in Rodinal R09.
Scanned full frame by Nikon Coolscan, which works thanks of Vuescan still on my Mac.
Post processing should be done by Aperture 3 or Gimp, mixed with a little bit Sepia color, I can't remember exactly.
 
My next contribution got somewhat more post processing:
Leica IIIa syn, Super-Angulon 4.0-21mm, Ilford Delta 400, Rodinal R09, Coolscan, Vuescan, Lightroom, external frame done by Graphic Converter.
I colored this photo in yellow to remind of the original color of this VW-Beetle Typ 11 "Ovali" (about 1955), which was a company car of the German Postal Service.
