christoph_d Posted August 22, 2020 Share #70865 Posted August 22, 2020 Due to the limited possibilities of safe travel this year I went for a four day walk in the north of the Netherlands end of last Month. With me the MP, and my travel-lens set, the 2/40C Summicron and the Voigtlaender 4/25 snapshot skopar. As Adox Color Implosion is not available anymore I tried Lomo Metropolis. I find it gives me a somewhat similar colour palette, though it is a very strange beast of a film... My starting point was the sea as shown in #70799 a few pages ago. However on the way there one approaches a dike, only to discover that the sea is still a few km away, as the dike in question is an old one and they build a new one long ago a bit further out... This is the older dike. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

MP, 40C, Metropolis@100 Now that’s very interesting, Christoph. I have been looking for a colour implosion look alike, even thought of heat damaging a regular roll of negative film. Most of the images I’ve seen posted for Lomo Metropolis look rather muted, and if anything a little yellow. What ISO rating did you shoot the image above? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw: does the tool influence the result? sure, we are fast to respond. But does the color of the telephone influence how we talk and what we say? Do Leica shooters make different photos than Canon or Nikon guys ? And why is that so if it is so? Thanks Kl@usW. I think for me, although the tool does of course effect the result, it's more the case that the intended result influences the tool, the choice of tool. I would have loved to have used my IIIf to take my recent photos but I wanted to take lots of close ups and the IIIf just isn't suited. Perhaps no rangefinder is suited because it's good to be able to stop down on an SLR to check the depth of field. I love the Leitz lenses. The IIIf's viewfinder s pretty terrible (though it's great to focus) and I don't find it easy to compose by looking through it (or through the two external finders that I currently have, both of which have problems). It's better to compose by looking directly at the scene and not though the lens and again for me, this seems to favour more ample scenes or more painterly scenes. Re. the green phone. It's currently broken but once I fix it, I'm sure it's going to deepen my baritone on important calls. 🙂 Edited August 22, 2020 by Xícara de Café 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can live without the AF but want the Nikkors consider an FM3. It's a wonderful camera Glad you like it Philipus! The FM3 is also a beauty. I owned a F3 for several years and it worked without any problems. But to be honest, for portraits, the AF of the F6 makes (sometimes) the life much easier. vor einer Stunde schrieb christoph_d: Outstanding, with the subtle colour contrast and the perfect focus / shallow depth of field.

I have been sort of obsessed with WLF finders for SLR cameras and have shot with them on F2, Canon F1, and even Pentax LX. They all work fairly well if you use the magnifier. Oddly enough, the best WLF experience I have had with a 35mm SLR camera is the Praktiflex FX camera (M42 lens mount.) I suppose this could be because the WLF is the natural finder for this camera, rather than an accessory finder like F2, F1, and LX. Praktiflex may have taken the extra measure of making sure the tiny focus screen is better suited to WLF focusing. Additionally, the magnifier for the Praktifelx seems a bit stronger. Maybe the best part is that a good Praktiflex is a very inexpensive prospect; there are some very fine lenses available in M42 mount. What a coincidence! Just last night I happened to see the Praktiflex hanging by it's strap, took it down, and mounted a Zeiss Ultron1.8/50 lens on it. The Ultron lens was a bargain because it is missing an internal, unobtanium component and can only be shot at 1.8. It occurred to me that this would be OK if I loaded a roll of the old, expired Svema 32 film into the camera. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from an F3 or F2 I have given thought to the LX, partly because I have a selection of PK SMC lenses acquired for my MX. However, a camera technician I use warned me off saying there are a few well catalogued failure mode (so well catalogued that I can’t remember 😂) and very few can repair the LX in the U.K. So I’ve marked the LX off limit. I’m still hovering on the F3, mind you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still hovering on the F3, mind you. The problem is that, in order to focus with WLF, you pretty much have to bring the camera up to eye level, with magnifier (or you can bend at waist to bring eye to camera,) in order to achieve decent focus. My corrected vision is 20/20 and even 20, or more, years ago, even in bright light, I was unable to gain confidence of sharp focus......without benefit of magnifier. I do believe the LX WLF is the most difficult to use. All in all, the only advantage the WLF furnishes is different perspective for the shot; it actually seems to make the process of focus more difficult and time consuming. With the exception of the Praktiflex, and the Bolsey C, 35mm WLF focusing is pretty much history for me. As far is the perspective goes, with Canon F1 or Nikon F2, I find it just as easy to focus with prism and hold camera at waist to get that WLF perspective. Results have been just as good as those with WLF. Best, Wayne 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 35mm SLR I used with a WLF was an Exacta VX. I don't remember any issues with focusing, but my eyes were 50+ years younger. More recently I have used a WLF on my Nikon F for tabletop still life pictures. Even with the camera firmly mounted on a tripod I can only focus with the split image prisms in the center of the screen. I can't see the surrounding microprisms at all. The much better solution for me is a Visoflex II with the 5X vertical viewfinder on one of my Barnacks. It's the easiest to focus of all my SLR cameras, including the Nikon F with a prism finder and the Hasselblad 500C with a WLF. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I absolutely have to get the shot I borrow my wife's F6. The auto-focus and auto-exposure always get it right. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
