Advertisement Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Hi gbealnz, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
philipus Posted April 5, 2017 Share #30082 Posted April 5, 2017 Love them both Gary. And, funnily enough, I did the same thing just the other day. Beautiful sunny weather here, close to 20C, and I was out and about shooting a thing on which I've been working (more to come, hopefully) when I saw my favourite flower, the Dandelion on a patch of grass, all puffed up like in your photos. So down I went, knees cracking (sigh) to shoot it with my Hasselblad. I then thought, hmm, I wonder if a Leica table tripod wouldn't have worked rather well in this situation. So I might have to get one of those. The picture will probably be blurry but if not I will post it here. Incidentally, who ever decided dandelions are weed? They're great, I think, bright and pretty when blossoming and, which can't be said for many flowers as they are dying, they look even more amazing when ageing and ready to die with those fuzzy balls of seeds (hmm that last bit sounded odd, sorry). Philip Time for a bee pic for Henry then. I actually took this on both film, and digital. I posted the digital version in the X-Vario thread. No doubt I looked a right clown, sprawled out on the evening paddock grass, with the camera(s) atop of the small Leica table-tripod.

gbealnz Posted April 5, 2017 Share #30085 Posted April 5, 2017 Spent part of yesterday processing a couple of rolls from the previous few days. Trial roll through a new to me MP, and a trial roll after I fixed the light seals in the A-16 back from the SWC. Both looked fine. Shame I got so much flare from the SA21, I have a hood coming.

Philip One of my regrets from the day was I should have had my wife take a phone pic of the setup, me included, sprawled out on the grass. It would have looked a sight no doubt. I have had the Leitz table top for ages, with a pair of ball heads. For travel I bought a small and cheap Manfrotto, it is perfect. Next time I get the SL out, and need to be at bug level I will be etter equipped, I received today an angle finder for the SL. Gary 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted April 6, 2017 Share #30090 Posted April 6, 2017 Interesting, Phil. I just struggle to understand what that combo would get me that my Leica combo doesn't.... Thanks Adam. It's a wonderful system, for sure. In my experience I have found that many people try it, then sell it, and many of them regret selling it. I don't regret selling stuff ever - otherwise, why would I sell it? Sometimes I do buy the same thing again later, but not out of regret. But I won't be buying the Contax stuff again. You might find just a G2 body and the 28mm f2.8 lens could suit you for the work you do, along with the nice little TLA 200 flash. Sync speed of 1/160th from memory. This is one of mine with just that combo: 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! (stock photo) Very good camera for those who like to zone focus. But trust you must that the brains of the camera will choose the right shutter speed and aperture b/c it is a big mystery what the hell is happening! Not replacement for anything for me; though I do like the close up ability (12") Here's a somewhat interesting sequential set.

I have a long way to go! C. These are lovely portraits Chris, and a fascinating exercise in contrasting a scanned print with a printed print. For mine, the first pairing shows the delicacy of the wet print as compared to the scan/inkjet pairing. Now obviously you could manipulate the scan to give a far closer result, but I'm guessing that in reality the wet print will always, on inspection, have a greater feeling of depth to it than the inkjet print. This is because it physically does have greater depth, even if just a few microns - but the real difference is that the wet print is actually made within the material, not just on the surface. I agree with others that there seems to be some sort of issue with your enlarger. I know that my enlarger, an LPL, has a lens mount that needs to be reversed when changing between a 50mm lens for 35mm and an 80mm (or 65mm WA) for 6X6 or 6X7. Not doing so will also produce vignetting, so perhaps that might be something else you could look at? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stray cat Posted April 6, 2017 Share #30094 Posted April 6, 2017 Interesting, Phil. I just struggle to understand what that combo would get me that my Leica combo doesn't.... Precisely, Adam. 1/160 sync (which I obviously forewent for the shot posted) and AF (which I didn't use for the shot posted). And a motor drive (big deal). So, it would get you nothing. Then again - substantially - neither will XAs, Nikon you-beaut AF things or TC1s except for pictures that maybe aren't quite as "good", or that maybe you're not quite as satisfied with, as those you get from your Leicas. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All very true except that those little XA, TC-1 doo-dads can fit in my pocket, whereas the G2 is basically the size of a leica, no? I can see myself taking the TC-1 on those business trips where I wouldn't feel like bringing a full size camera, or perhaps on the town at night. The XA-4 I can see myself pocketing in addition to my Leica when out on a very bright sunny day with perhaps a different film stock. The G2 is legendary, no doubt. But a Leica-size autofocus camera just doesn't scratch any of my itches at the moment. This could change on a dime, of course 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stray cat Posted April 6, 2017 Share #30096 Posted April 6, 2017 Good call, Adam. The smaller cameras do fit a niche - pocketability. I once bought a Contax T3 with just that idea in mind, but it had a fault with the film advance so i returned it and didn't bother again. Leicas fitting into pockets is, of course, also a factor of how big your pockets are. Hmmm... how big your pockets are.. this applies to Leica in more than one sense of the phrase! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted April 6, 2017 Share #30099 Posted April 6, 2017 Flare or not it still looks very cool. Just to enlighten the idiot of the group (me), how does an A16 get 16 frames on a roll - are they in portrait format (and if so, how does one then hold the camera)? About tripods, I have one of those Manfrotto Digi 724B tripods. Fairly light and a built-in ballhead that can hold my 203+80mm+PC Mutar so good enough for travel. The drawback is it won't spread very low though. Btw, any particular ballheads one should consider for the table-top? Spent part of yesterday processing a couple of rolls from the previous few days. Trial roll through a new to me MP, and a trial roll after I fixed the light seals in the A-16 back from the SWC. Both looked fine. Shame I got so much flare from the SA21, I have a hood coming.
