edwardkaraa Posted September 8, 2017 Share #39741 Posted September 8, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I noticed that too... that you are using Zeiss lenses. I've heard that they have a propensity to add 'pop' to the colours and an 'edge' to the sharpness. I have the 25mm ZM but seldom use it. In any case, at the moment I'm out of colour film! I have the 25 ZM and seldom use it too as I am more of a 35/50 user. It is true that Zeiss lenses in general do favor pop and contrast but Leica has followed the same strategy in the last decade or so. Nevertheless I still find that M glass draws with more finesse while ZM is more blunt. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpness is overrated imo. Lovely shot with excellent timing and great color. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrism Posted September 9, 2017 Share #39755 Posted September 9, 2017 Leg room... M6TTL, 35mm Summicron, Tri-X This deserves being shown again, no matter what the blue-nosed naysayers have to say about quoted photographs. It's good, no, it's great! Enjoy it, revel in it! Just don't be lazy about keeping up with the forum, which seems to be what their complaints boil down to. If I see a photograph I would be proud to have taken I'll quote it. stray cat, your photo deserves to be quoted again and again. Just ignore the silly forum politics about whether it is correct to do so or not for those who can't be bothered to keep up, and know I'd happily quote it even if there was no reason to kick back against the "Quote Police"! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted September 10, 2017 Share #39757 Posted September 10, 2017 Wayne - This film compliments your style very nicely. Love the painterly scene in this one. If only it were double the price of regular pro stock film... But I must say that I am getting more tempted to buy a couple of rolls...

I think I prefer tattered, in just about everything. img785 by W P_, on Flickr Praktiflex, Mamiya-Sekor 55mm 1.4, Adox Clor implosion. Phil - This is awesome. The clarity and glow from the light are really additive. It is a very humorous scene, indeed! Leg room... M6TTL, 35mm Summicron, Tri-X Thanks, Edward! And another awesome shot! Fantastic work Adam This is a really well composed photo with great colors, Edward. The only thing that I noticed that might be slightly off is the blue cast in the man's hair. I would bet that this is an artifact of the scanning software placing blues in shadows instead of dark tones and blacks. Just a tiny nit, easily corrected, and wonder whether you noticed...

Guest Nowhereman Posted September 10, 2017 Share #39759 Posted September 10, 2017 I've finished scanning over 400 old slides (with the BEOON + M10 + Focotar-2), most of them Kodachrome. Looking at the results, I am struck how the rendering of slide films can be quite beautiful even when it doesn't represent some of true colors in the subject: the color of the highlights in the hair in the first picture below and the blues in the water of the Hong Kong picture. So, it is precisely some of the unrealistic color rendering of transparency film that creates a type of beauty that I would most likely attenuate when shooting with the M10 — and it is to train myself to do the opposite that I was musing that it might be useful to shoot occasionally a transparency film that one likes. Now, does that make sense to you? Kodachrome looked very different depending on the exposure used: "adan," in an interesting post, said, Getting too worked up over what "looks like Kodachrome" and what doesn't is pointless. Kodachrome was always a schizophrenic film, depending on exposure. A "bright" exposure gave pastel colors, while a dark exposure gave strong saturated colors. [On this same subject, you may be interested in reading two follow-up posts by "adan" in the linked thread: posts #35 and #42]. These pictures were taken around 1982 or a few years later on Kodachrome 25 with an M3, the first one with a Summicron 50 and the second probably with the Tele-Elmarit 90. Welcome, dear visitor!

I, too, think that for many purposes the fussing over precise color palette-matching is irrelevant.
