I occasionally shoot a vintage 6x9 with an excellent Zeiss lens. Every time I see the negs I wonder why I still shoot 35mm. Then I look at all the 35mm equipment I have and I put the 6x9 away for a while.

The 6x9 Royer and Super Icon C I have been recently shooting do produce fantastic negatives; but, among other things, the use of them has done nothing but elevate my appreciation for combination of convenience and quality represented in Leica rangefinder cameras.....Both M and Barnack. The same can be said of the 35mm Zeiss rangefinders I have been using: while I have been enjoying the variety provided by the Zeiss cameras, the Leicas are just quicker and more convenient in use. It is easy to see why the Leica model survived while Zeiss effort faded into history. It must have been very frustrating at Zeiss, to realize, no matter what they did, the basic concept of a Leica rangefinder was just better.

From one of my favorite places in New York City...

Well, a dull & dreary day in Cirencester cannot compete with Adam's striking NYC shots - all I can offer is a view of the parish church of St John Baptist from the rear.

That's we call an old house , the grain is very nice Wayne

Thanks

Henry

Thanks Henry. I believe this one likely started it's existence as a log cabin, only to be modified to "modern" appearance with siding at a later date. I live in an area of Indiana that represents one of the few areas of the Union North physically invaded by Confederates (General Morgan) during US civil war. It would not surprise me if General Morgan "requisitioned" hogs from this farm. :)

 

I deeply enjoy standing in front of these old structures and taking a few moments to contemplate what they may have witnessed.

Wayne I watch recently Quentin Tarantino film "Django Unchained" and I saw several types of these houses

in the South for slaves . That said , a very good film and history highlighting racism in the states !

the tower that are soaking in water

 

 

or warming up near the hot vents of the metro

 

 

You notice no "aliasing" for iron bars with film

Great photo. It is wonderful how a good black and white image seems to drag time along with it....wherever the photo appears. Maybe that is the secret ingredient in Rodinal.....Time.
