Advertisement Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Hi gbealnz, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
gbealnz Posted April 6, 2017 Share #30102 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? The perfectionist within is annoyed with the flare, there are a few shots with it, so either the light bouncing between the filter and front element, or simple flare, not sure, but annoyed. Tripod I have is this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/983551-REG/manfrotto_mtpixi_b_pixi_mini_table_top.html Perfect for travel, cheap as chips, and light, certainly lighter than the Leitz. Whether it would hold the Hasselblad etc I can't say, try mine in August. I did use my Leitz with the SWC recently, but possibly a bit lighter than your 203++++. Ball-head is part of it, built in. For my Leitz I have the Leitz ball. A-16 is the Hasselblad frugal film back, I always used them for wedding work, similar to the Bronica etc, and gives (I think) 6x4.5 dimensions. 16 shots on a roll is always going to be more cost effective than 12. The Bronica etc is "15 on", Hasselblad went one better and get 16 on. Orientation is landscape of course, but back in the days Hasselblad also made a 6x4.5V back, so portrait orientation, but of course, 12 shots, with wastage on either side, never could figure that one out. With the SCW I simply rotate the camera, but lose the eye-level bubble of course. Gary 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted April 6, 2017 Share #30106 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!

Doc Henry Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share #30107 Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) 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. Leicaflex SL 50mm Summicron R Elpro V1a Kodak 200 Epson 4870 Gary And another seed head, this one sans bee. Same gear as above. Gary Gary very nice pictures with superb color for me. I have also an Elpro but don't use it . I'll try again after watching your pictures. If I remember the lens must be very near of the object and sometimes it's a little hard. I prefer on my Leicaflex the extension tube with a 90 or 135. Thanks for posting Gary Regards Henry Edited April 6, 2017 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share #30108 Posted April 6, 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. MP SA21/4 yellow filter Fomapan 200 R09 1:25 Epson 4870 Gary Gary the flare ? may be from the filter ? That said , nice picture with your 21 SA Best Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share #30110 Posted April 6, 2017 Trying out some prints again - I used eight sheets of paper to make these two! Scanned digital version: Emily by chrism229, on Flickr Scanned wet print: Scan of silver print 4 by chrism229, on Flickr Had to crop her to get rid of the vignetted corners. This was a Hasselblad 500c with Tri-X, and I had to remember how to do split grade printing. Ended up f8, 10 seconds grade 0, and 10 seconds grade 5. Scanned digital version: Holly by chrism229, on Flickr Scanned wet print: Scan of silver print 3 by chrism229, on Flickr F6, XP2 in Rodinal 1:100, printed at f11, grade 2, 31 seconds. I have a long way to go! C. Chris thanks for this demonstration. I prefer the wet scan > black is more black and I like the portrait a little blurry , more natural Best Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Posted April 6, 2017 Share #30117 Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Good call, Adam. The smaller cameras do fit a niche - pocketability.

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! Last year, when I went to visit my daughter for a week, I took my IIIA and the collapsible 50 Hektor. It was the only photography gear I carried along. The big lesson I learned from that experience was just how liberating it was to travel so light. The other lesson was just how pocketable the old LTM Leicas are. I mean, it would not have worked in tight fitting jeans; but then, my XA would not work in that situation either. So many of these old Barnack Leicas are sitting on the shelf and only occasionally used. The fact is, once you get them up and running through a thorough CLA, they are as practical, reliable, and convenient as any compact available today.......If you are the type of person that does not see full manual mode as an inconvenience, i.e. a Leica shooter. While the Hektor is somewhat of a collectible, and can be a bit pricey, if you go with a 50 Elmar and a IIIC it is not difficult to set yourself up with such a rig for less than $400.....Like my daughters used to say: "Just saying." Oskar's camera is still capable of running with the pack, for every reason it was originally approved in that famous meeting that started the whole story.
