Dear Henry,

Henri Cartier-Bresson owned several Leicas. Here is a picture of one of his first - maybe the very first - Leica he owned. ( From the Book by Morvan +Savoia : Cartier-Bresson Allemagne 1945 ( edited by Magnum Photos and Fondation HCB , éditions Dupuis). So yes, it is a Leica 1A, later model, with the higher shoot button  and cable-release possibility. These Leicas were equipped with the Elmar lens, but not yet screw screw-mount cameras. The B-Leicas, 1 and 2 same period, were equipped with Elmar lens and Compur Shutter. Then came the Leica 1C, in 1932, first Leica with Elmar and screw mount. These informations I have found in G.Rogliatti, Leica 1925-1975, Ein Handbuch für Sammler ( a collector's manual) Edita, Lausanne . ( Original Edition: Leica - The First Fifty Years ( second edition) Hove Camera Foto Books, UK

I hope You do forgive me the digital picture for this time...;-)

Here a picture shot with the Rolleiflex yesterday, film scanned by my wife and no correction at all. Ilford FP4, film officially "dead"  since  2003,  in Tetenal Paranol S, 1:90, stand develloped for 1 hour and five minutes.

Very nice, Steven.  Fantastic colors, especially in the second.

I've been shooting with the Rolleiflex a little more recently and playing with the Rolleinar 1 filter.

Very lovely.  And kudos to your wife's scanning capabilities!

Well captured, in word and picture. I love it!

I did wonder about the whereabouts of the daily catch !

LOL & Thx

...

 

Thanks, Christoph.  Unlike some people whom I know, I state the film stock used quite prominently just above my photo. (LOL   :)  )  It was Tri-X.  

...

 

 

Truly amazing colours, I think the light and/or pp you chose gives these pictures a slight cross-processed feel. And your composition and choice of focal length well matches the subject.  

And here another Beetle. At the front bumper you see the typical red halo of the Cinestill:

Nice scene, and lovely tones.

Japanese Tea House, Les Jardins Quatre Vents, Cap à l’aigle, Québec.
 
This is in a magnificent private garden that was created by Francis Cabot in the last 30 or so years. A Japanese craftsman built the Tea House over a 4-year period. The wood was hand picked, dried for two years; the joinery is all traditional – no nails or screws, or glues. Just tradition.
 
Francis Cabot was one of the Boston Cabots, who apparently only talked to the Lodges (who only talked to God), so it used to be said. No shortage of cash, and it subtly shows.

Very nice and relaxing picture Michel :)

Very nice black and grey tones

Great story of this place

Thank you

Best
