Terrific shot Phil, really excellent with a delightfully pastel palette. Nice to see another TTL shooter too :)

 

 

 Some more Portra magic..

Christoff - Thanks.

There's no problem in using the DR sum micron on the film M cameras — it only needs to have the cam filed down for use of the digital Ms. After the filing down, it can still be used on the film Ms, but in the close-up range (with the goggles). When I had the cam filed down I did not expect ever to shoot film again. Now I regret it and wonder whether it's possible to find and old lens and have the cam replaced on mine. However, looking at it realistically, it's not such a big deal to have the 0.55-1.0m close-up range: in the dynamics of street photography, it's not that convenient to be switching to the close-up range whenever you need to focus at less than 1m. And if you want to do (moderate) macros the Macro-Elmar-90 has a much more useful close=up range.

 

Yes I agree , sometimes the ME-90 is very useful for shooting far from the subject

keeping the natural aspect and with the discreet and silent M system

I understand your regrets. On one hand filing down the cam gives the Summicron DR a life in the digital age. On the other hand I personally really like the close focus abilities in combination with the soft rendering of the Summicron DR. So even it it will not fit on the M's with inbuilt meter - analogue or digital, I think I refrain from neutering the lens. A quick example of what I mean below:

Adam, your series from the Jerusalem market are extremely engaging both as a capsule of human behaviour and an example of fine photography.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Charles, as always for your generous remarks :)

Did somebody say something about mutilating a magnum opus dual range summicron??  :o  :angry:

 

Did somebody say something about using the close up range in the street for shooting strangers???

:p

Here's a throwaway abstract from the "Postcards 9/11 Memorial" in Staten Island.

Went there Christmas morning to stake out a new spot for a skyline shot.

 

I used the 80mm planar, Tmax 100 and an orange filter.

Lovely moment Phil, well timed!

 

Thanks

Sincerely, thank you so much Charles and Phil. The generosity of comment on this forum is outstanding.

 

Philip, I am a dyed-in-the-wool TTL shooter now, what a superb camera. And just above I see that Ramesh uses one expertly!

Same camera, lens, film.

 

When I crossed road to introduce myself, he barked once and quickly offered his ears for  an introductory scratch. A fine new friend.
