Wayne for me these pictures remind me some very old images

Very special impression when we watch , may be the color a bit vintage, the grain

or the composition

Very nice series . I like specially the first picture, simple and beautiful color of Fuji

Thank you, Henry. I once came across some 50s and 60s Leica enthusiast magazines, I forget the name, and became entranced by quality of images rendered by the old glass and film. It is what I am after in my images. I stumbled across this old Pen camera and am struck by how similar the use of it is to my M3. I mean, the rendering of the Pen and the Zuiko lens cannot be compared to the M3 and 50mm DR Summicron; but to feel of using it can. Your/this thread means a lot to me, and I am deeply grateful.

 

Best,

A bit of Stockholm noir from a few winters back, probably shot with one of my 50mm lenses (Double-X in HC-110(H)).

A view from Hackpen Hill / Ridgeway ancient long-distance path.  The harvest was in progress - and the crop-circle 'enthusiasts' (I could think of other words...) were out in force Tuesday afternoon.  R5, 60mm Macro Elmarit-R, Acros 100, Rodinal 1:50.

Some more darkish Stockholm stuff, again 5222 at EI800 in HC-110(H).

 

Come to think of it, I believe I shot most of these with my 75 Summicron, which is a bloody amazing lens. But it is one of my least used lenses so I've put it up for sale in the classifieds, calibrated just this week and with Leica 6-bit coding added, hint hint.

A brilliant trio of images, full of atmosphere & hints of mystery.

PS - no I do not need a 75mm Summicron, no I do not need a 75mm Summicron etc etc...

Until viewing this fine photograph I had never considered the possibility of an enterprising farmer gleaning greater revenue from the crop-circle than he/she would have collected from the grain. I can see it now: poorly lettered signs "This way to crop-circle" posted along rural roads.

Hi - I've been away for a long time.  Taken with the M4 and Summitar (1948) while trekking the Pennine Way in 2015.  I forget the film type.

 

At Hawes in Wensleydale - mud all cleaned off, sunny day:

Wow great and lovely portrait and nice framing Dan

I think it's Kodak perhaps Portra or Ektar 

Thank you and glad see you back

Well, that one of my wife on the bridge in Wensleydale was just a test - the uploading system is great.

This is taken with the M4 and (I think) the Summicron on XP2 - it is a portrait of an actor in the play "Breaker Morant" - he is in the title role, in prison, awaiting execution by firing squad at dawn:

Very cool composition Phil. The road repair equivalent of a crime scene chalk line.

Excellent natural-looking portrait Dan. The Summitar is a very nice lens.

Thanks for the kind words Henry.  I shoot a heck of a lot of theatre work with the D810 and D600.  Love it, but it's tiring.  I keep telling my photographic friends that there is something about the rendition of film, and that it is so relaxing and satisfying.  Occasionally I force myself to take the M4 along, and I should do it more often - the images always appeal to me.

 

This is something quite different.  Some years ago I acquired a 1932 Elmar 50mm Nickel - from a Canadian chap I think - it had been recently serviced by a German expert, the file and invoice is here somewhere, but what the heck, it's the shot that counts.  This was taken at Kirra beach on the Gold Coast, with that lens on a IIIf purchased from Youxin Ye.

Henry - I found the film strip with that shot of my wife on the bridge at Hawes in Wensleydale - on the side is printed: Fuji s 400

Maybe a cheap roll of Fuji Superia?

I like the shot. It was not until I thought about the focal length that I became absorbed in the accuracy. I am impressed. Contractors to follow?

 

Thanks,

So as you demonstrated here Fuji is not so far of Kodak

Thank you Dan.
