Very beautiful texture and pattern.  I think I will stick to the stairs though.


 

 

Thank you Aryel. The shaft actually houses the elevator and the stairs. For a close look at the wall, you need to take the stairs.  If you are interested, the history of the station is interesting. Perhaps only for me, because i grew up and went to school a few kilometers away.  I remember well my father's excitement when the railway station was saved and the museum founded in the sixties. Yes, I´m that old.

What a fascinating story, it gives some perspective to your images and one can imagine the excitement at the time! Thanks for sharing. Maybe I'll have a chance to visit somedays.

lovely. I'm actually giving talks at Normandy in a couple of months and am researching the dead. John A. Chappell, whose tombstone has flowers, is buried in Normandy, but the family also placed a marker in his hometown cemetery of Bernie, Missouri. There is a fair amount known about this modest man who died far too young: https://nhdsilentheroes.org/profiles/john-alden-chappell/

Thank you very much for the insightful information. This place is magical in its aura and when someone like me has visited the scenes of war, one feels very quiet within oneself, like in the cemetery.

Having discovered how interesting this focal-length can be (less distortion than 21, more spacious than 28), would have loved to say that it was taken with the Leica Elmarit equivalent (R or M) but have you seen the prices?  Maybe there is an opening there for the third-party lens makers?

There are indeed not many lenses of this focal length produced at present. However Zeiss still has their excellent ZM 2,8/25 in the program!

For the LTM  you might have a look at the Voigtländer Snap-Shot Skopar 25/4.  Definitely not in the Leica Elmarit 2,8/24 or Leica Elmar 3,8/24 range  ( I owned the former and own the latter ) , it is good enough and unbeatable concerning  the size. They are scarce in Europe but plentiful  in Japan. expect them to be hazy and factor in the cleaning. I  bought a nice copy  from a dealer in Vienna-think of a vulture in german- to avoid the hassle of customs etc. Recommended.

I agree to this suggestion as a second hand recommendation. Two remarks:

The Snap-Shot Skopar is not rangefinder coupled. Mainly this does not really matter, as the depth of field covers a lot.

It works beautifully on the M, with a ltm-to-M adapter.

I looked at Zeiss.  It would seem the name enables them to charge (for new lenses) close to the price of second-hand Leitz.  Hmm ...  For shooting on an M I am tempted to put my Nikkkor 24 onto the NikonF/Leica adapter and use scale focusing.  On the R I can set the 21-25 ASPH at the 24 position but the size and weight of the lens does not add up to a lightweight/portable setup (one of the charms of the M or the Olympus OM for that matter).
