very interesting, Christoph.  I am really intrigued at how this film renders on a wet print.  I'll bet it is even more interesting once you remove all tracing of digitization.  I'll bet the grain is more sublime and the colors more painterly.

Great photography from Mongolia! Amazing!

 

 

Great, as in the others, the colours are wonderful and match the subject well.

The Horizon is a camera that takes some getting used to but can achieve amazing results.

You must have aligned them in a half-circle to get them in line :)

Thanks !

Really intriguing this film, nice shot Christoph !

Wet-printing - there's a thought!

 

A few months ago I started to develop colour film myself - though the pictures I've shown here are still developed by a local commercial lab. 

Wet-printing colour film seems another hurdle altogether - particularly in terms of process control and without access to a dedicated darkroom. 

But I agree that it is a tempting though, though not one I'll follow up in a hurry. 

What I have done instead, is to print a little blurb book of my travel with this film. The matt premium photo paper seems to perfectly complement

the film's characteristics. And I have to admit that the quality of my published pictures here is significantly worse than the quality both, on my 

screen as well as in the printed book (Probably to do with the compression I've got to do to get the file size to Forum-adherence). If any of you are

joining the Leica One Challenge in Rome later this year - I'll be bringing the book :) .

 

Best regards,

 

Christoph

In Italy !!

I asked on a french forum if anyone had a spare BEOON and an italian photographer sold me a complete set in its original box.

 

Found a Fotocar-2 lens  after having bought a bargain  Schneider Componon 50 2.8, both on eBay.it.

Beautiful!

By the way I live in Italy and I never find anything decently priced on the Italian used market!

Henry,

I made a short non scientific comparison between the V600 scans and a camera scan. I don't want to post images here because they're out of topic, so loaded them to this web page.

The camera scan seems to win in terms of details, but there are other issues, so I do not have an overall final opinion yet.

thanks

Antonio thanks for your comparison

It's enough to see the V600 is limited and equal to your Fuji

With V700 , It's better.  I have compared with my M8 it's similar . I must look for some pictures

I did in comparison when I had my V700 , and I'll post here.

The problem when you work in scanning with digital cam is possible external interference

surrounding factors

Henry

Only this mount may be can avoid interference (extension tube) post 39509

When I took this picture, on my way to Gubbio, I had to think of all the wonderful and inspiring pictures of these flowers that Doc Henry has posted here over the years.

Thank you, Adam. This is terrific. You put that tube to good use. Looks completely surreal.

one for Philip, whose sharing of his excellent results with his extension tubes over the months and years inspired me to persist in figuring out mine  :)

A macro from the Dead Sea, which was no easy task given the terrain!

And this doesn't happen to often, at least when I fly, contrails in the making. The eagle-eyed will spot a second plane down at the right. Very cool to get a reference point as to how fast commercial airliners actually fly.

Thanks for doing this Antonio. I think the digitised image is much sharper out of the box. Very good result actually. From what I remember, among other things from reading this interesting comparison (which probably is old hat for most of you), flatbed scanners are far behind dedicated film scanners when it comes to 35mm film. But, that's only half of the story, of course, because such a scanner may well be just what is needed depending on what the scan is to be used for. And with larger formats inexpensive flatbeds deliver much better results, particularly when their price is added to the equation.

 

As with so many things, it is whatever works and one is satisfied with. I'm just happy to see film photography :)

I agree. The camera scans are much sharper and they come out flat. I'll keep playing around because there are a few weird things to understand. For example my Fuji XT-10 produces strange worm-like artifacts at grain level, like in-camera sharpening. I believe that's the Fuji/Xtrans sensor, unfortunately! I'll try with another camera if I can borrow one from a friend.

 

For now I'm going to drop another V600 scan: a coffee shop.

The great thing about the Dead Sea is that it is so surreal that, no matter where you turn and look, after a few seconds you can find a composition to shoot.  And we can all be there shooting together and each come away with our own wonderful series of compositions.  Unlike, say, big cities where the big immediate draw are flagship skyscrapers and monuments, which everyone shoots in the same way with often little to distinguish...

 

Another Velvia 50 moment..  :wub:

Pure form and colour - a wonderful work of observation and design. You've just gotta love Velvia 50 - in medium format especially it's just crazy good.

These pictures from Mongolia are just so "present" - they actually give me some sense of actually being there with their wide field of vision and ezquisite detail. And has been remarked, the colours are just brilliant!

I have a new toy to play with this weekend. Since I can't afford a Summilux 28, I found another 28/1.4 to play with. I'll run a roll of XP2 through and see if the extra stop is worthwhile.
