Thank you Phil. Whilst the heart problem is a pain (literally) and a worry, it has re=awakened my pleasure in many of my film images and re-inspired me to shoot film again. I do genuinely feel that Leica and film were made for each other in some kind of magical way.

 

Gerry

 

I have also had heart problems Gerry, and feel for you. I also agree about Leica and film. In my case, I feel that there is a "magic" to Leica and Tri-X that can't be beaten. Shooting film is the best, isn't it?

As you guys know since I moved to the Leica S system I haven't been shooting film much, but I'm back and shot some shots yesterday, and am going to Madrid a few days and will only bring my R8 with a few lenses! :)

 

Yesterday:

I hope you'll indulge me as we return to the Ockenburgh forest. This is on Ektar 100, as previously using the 80 Planar and extension rings (and as always shot handheld). On the lower two I metered away from the light to try to get a more or less accurate exposure of the flower. I wanted to shoot from below and up into the light. I always rely on the built-in meter which is extremely accurate. That said, the metering area is large (for spot metering one needs the 205 model) so in use it's similar in some ways to a Leica M.

Reflection with variation in color is really nice

Color is beautiful here.

How much for each of your image file ? more than 5000 x 4500 px ?

Can you improve the definition with the Pakon ?

Thanks for posting

Following requests  made when I posted regarding scans I have made during my enforced slow-down due to ill-health, here is one of my favourites taken in the Gambia using Fujichrome 50iso film in 2000. I am afraid I have no technical details, but do know at that time I was shooting mostly with a Leica M6 and 50mm Summicron f2. I love the way the early morning light has been rendered in this image of a group of village girls waiting for the bus to take them to the high school. I have no details of exposure etc. except that I would have shot at 50iso. 

 

Scanning was using a Plustek 8200i using Silverfast software.

 

Comments/questions welcome

 

Gerry

 

Gerry very glad see you back. :)

Color and contrast are superb. More Gerry ? 

Leica M6 and Summicron lens are a great combo , still operational in 2017 !

Not need to spent money to buy another camera IMO.

Gerry I repeat the health remark that I told to Phil  :)
