Xenia Posted October 25, 2016 Share #23101 Posted October 25, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) This photo is also outstanding , color of skin , the attitude are well captured by the photographer ... and the little sunshine behind gives a very special atmosphere to the picture Great picture in bad light condition Thanks Xenia Regards Henry Actually, the magazine I was photographing for, refused it because of bad light. It was later published in a book by an advertising company. The light came from a one foot square window under the roof. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EoinC Posted October 25, 2016 Share #23107 Posted October 25, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) One more to add to the Film Thread - SWC club Eoin, when do you plan to take delivery? It's rather convoluted (a bit like myself) - My wife is heading over to Japan at the beginning of next month, where, if she doesn't get distracted by more interesting ways of filling in her days, she will secure one of Victor's finest. I shall then fly up to Chiangmai to see her (and what she deemed me worthy of purchasing). I figured that, fraught with intrigue, and possibilities for going pear-shaped, it's a more interesting way of doing things than going to a shop, or buying on ebay. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Benqui Posted October 25, 2016 Share #23110 Posted October 25, 2016 It is getting cold in my hometown, time to go into the darkroom. Please excuse the bad quality of the scan from a 13x18 print, I have to talk to Santa Claus about a better scanner. best wishes Marc Welcome, dear visitor!

A miller Posted October 25, 2016 Share #23113 Posted October 25, 2016 Adam.....did you use the ground glass/view finder for this shot? I was out today playing with mine, I have the straight viewfinder. I find it quite dark around the edges, and subject in picture starts to get distorted as the frame moves away from center. Hi Marc - Yes, I used the GG focus screen and RMFX prism finder. BW by Silvester Franz, on Flickr just developed my second roll on my leica m3... happy little pig I am )) Great shot! Congrats on your M3! For all cacti fans a yellow cactus flower SWC/M on Ektachrome IMG_6369.JPG Hi Zenia - A hearty welcome! I LOVE your SWC photos, this on in particular as well as the elephant as I appreciate you must have been quite close Looking forward to seeing more! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT0227 Posted October 26, 2016 Share #23116 Posted October 26, 2016 Is there a drastic difference in what you see, between the RMFX and the Straight Chimney viewfinder? Honestly for me, the setup was not even usable given all the time it takes to use . Besides being quite dark and the frame getting distorted as you move away from center (my ground glass is new old stock) I focused on a subject and then checked the distance on the lens vs what my laser said; the distance was off by feet. I reverted to my tried and trusted method and put ground glass away for now. Thoughts? Hi Marc - Yes, I used the GG focus screen and RMFX prism finder.

I don't have a chimney finder but I will tell you that when I look through the prism finder through the ground glass - and importantly adjust the aperture to f4.5 to get max brightness - I get a full frame sublime view through the lens. Pure bliss. And I am able to focus critically on anything and see exactly what the image will look like if shot wide open. We'll have to meet up and compare notes on this one day for lunch... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT0227 Posted October 26, 2016 Share #23119 Posted October 26, 2016 For sure...lets try and make this happen soon. I'll bring in my gear, perhaps you can bring your finder so we can compare. My attempt was with the lens wide open, I just gave it up for another day. I need to see that bliss!
