We are contrasting film with digital, but it strikes me there are multitude of factors that go into the final result, and to my way of thinking it's the lens that's the most important item in the overall look of the image -- I'm not talking about the subject matter, or the aesthetic power derived from the photographer himself -- but just the intermediate aspects (camera, lens, film, developing, image manipulation and so on).  Since you're the originator of the thread I would like to ask your permission to post a digital image using an old lens, just by way of comparison.  If that would be inappropriate then I could post it on a different thread and link to it.  What do you think?  Thank you.

I thought a shot of the interior of the little chapel wouldn't come amiss.

The (few) decorations are rather simple ... but charming.

And the statue of Saint-Sixte himself is kept in safekeeping in the nearby church. 

(I promise, no more from that chapel for now)

Fin , do it and you are welcome :) Sometimes old lens highlight much a picture

with in example nice bokeh as Cron 35 V4

Thanks All

Thanks  Gary,

 

To tell you the truth, it is almost impossible to take a bad picture of Chapelle Saint-Sixte, as it is photogenically arranged on that

little hill, surrounded by trees, hills and sun... here another view, this time through a piece of Leica glass.

Viewed through a wide-angle and an orange filter it then looks like this:

I kept the wide-angle and filter, but went around against the light:

I developed 2 more rolls from my trip in Italy...those are the pictures Ive taken on a beach location. It was about to rain heavily and the sky was pretty amazing.

I think I messed up during the development - somehow the pictures are very very grainy, and I can see at the top and the bottom some 'dark shades' just in the same position as the holes in the film strip...I was wondering if someone could shed some light in what mistake I could have possibly done? I was developing a bit on the rush today...and i've been distracted a lot too....

 

Again this is Kodak TMax100 with Contax T2

Repetitive streaks originating from the sprocket holes is usually caused by over agitation, how do you agitate how many and how often ?

 

yeah it must be that! I was on a timer but because i was watching a video at the same time I wouldnt pay too much attention during the agitation process. Good to know, learnt for the next time ;)

....  and also , when the film dries make sure that there is no trace of water or rest of fixative

(well wash with water after fixing : fews minutes under tap water)

Put a wetting agent and pass a wringer clip or dry clean cloth (I pass gently a dry and clean cloth

in white cotton) on the film surface  to remove all water before drying and hanging the negative !

Since Doc Henry didn't Ok the posting of a digital image on this thread, I went ahead and posted it under Photo Forum\People\Elmar portrait.  It was taken with a 1951 90mm Elmar, and it has that 50s look, despite it being a digital photo on a recent camera.

Nice picture Adam .Color of stone is superb.

 

Just a little notice. When I put the two pictures Flickr and Leica Forum side by side

color stone (ex. in the middle) seems darker in Flickr . You know that :)

 

Your series of Dead Sea and Wall are really superb.

Thanks for posting.

Best

Henry

Thanks for the feedback, Henry.  I did not notice the varying tones, although the flickr version is full resolution (almost 500MB) and it may be that it captures more tonality than the 500KB file I posted here.  Not really sure...

Here is a close up of a 2000+ year old limestone segment of the Western Wall, with the prayer notes nestled in the cracks.

Velvia 50

(pushed 1/2 stop b/c I belated discovered that I had been underexposing the Velvia 50 in my first batch, which had the effect of turbo charging an already contrasty film :o )
