Terrific shots Christoph, thanks very much for posting them. The v3 has a very nice look indeed. The Wiki doesn't say how long v3 is - is it longer or shorter than the v4 at 41mm/1,6"? Also - is v3 really "black lacquered brass" (as the Wiki says) rather than anodised aluminium like v4?

 

Br and thanks
Philip

 

One more taken with the 28 v3, this time in Lisbon. Early morning meant little light, so here the aperture was set to 2.8.

Still leaves enough sharpness to nicely draw the background. (Fomapan 100)

Philipus,

 

Here, as promised some pictures taken with the v3:

 

attachicon.gif150530_4_MP_0006.jpg

 

Shibuya crossing Tokyo. A fantastic place to "bath" in the crowd and take pictures of people passing by.

Set on f11 and 2m, everything from 1m to infinity is sharp...

I would guess that the v4 has a slightly better coating to deal with the rather strong light... (FP-4)

Same day somewhere else in Tokyo we met this dog and its owner.

Again, f11 or so and a guessed close distance yielded this photograph. (PX-125)

Thanks, Philip,

 

Length of the v3 "naked" = 48mm (sticking out of the camera that is)

With Sunshade = 65mm

Filter diameter = 49

The surface treatment is just like all other Leica lenses I have (does not look like lacquer to me)

I am on the banks of the Seine river on last Saturday , two days ago and I did the same ballad 

in September 2015 , this time with Kodak TX400 (last Ilford HP5)
Time still a little gray, but the atmosphere is calm and we have a cool air from the Seine river.

 

 

Here some pictures just developed to night :)  in Ilfotec 3mn30

As you can see, the new year , I did the photographer of the city that I love where I made my  med. studies
So a first day of January spent all day walking ....  it feels good for the morale especially when it is low !

 

 

Another shot  always with Kodak TX400  and with the light Leica MP

 

You can see the famous "Pont des Arts"  in foreground and in background

le Louvre at right.

Un petit peut, French relatives etc :)

 

Your photo reminded me of this one, which unfortunately did not have people in the bright light so isn't at all as striking an image as yours.

Very nice and luminous picture Philip :)

 

 

 

Philip likes to be under bridge  :D  me too 

Here is another picture taken from the banks of the Seine.
You recognize this cathedral isn't Gary :)

There are 3 beautiful girls on the right but it's late and the night falls quickly
.... if I had the new Summilux 28

it is already the night at about 5:00 pm and it's cloudy and gray

M6 and XP2 again. This is actually a handheld test shot to see if the composition might work for a long exposure shot with a 10 stop ND filter sometime in the future.

 

The answer is yes and no: the composition works (for me) although I need to slightly reframe to the right. But those dots on the water are a mixture of ducks and small buoys for visiting yachts. The ducks come and go, but those buoys are there to stay.

 

So I'll have to find a different spot elsewhere.

Hi Henry,

 

Spending all day walking in Paris is always a dream! What a wonderful city, and I hope your morale recovered fully! 

Did they remove all the locks at the " Ponts des Arts"?

 

Best regards

I'd say try it and see Ric, longer the exposure the better, blur out the fixtures that don't move, and get a bird-scarer for the ducks that annoy you.

I do Henry, always a different angle, always looks splendid.

Couldn't see the three girls though, LOL.

Gary

Here is a 100% magnification for Gary who wants to see the 3 girls :)

We distinguish the details without smoothing the edges as in the digital

who loses details :angry:

 

What extraordinary power of the film with its grains in microns

I also see that when I enlarge on the enlarger

Fabulous film !

I find that the 28mm lens is better than 35 mm for this kind of pictures and Street Photos and Adam is right. The 35 is just enough.
About the Kodak TX400 it's better than the Ilford HP5 400 Isos for deep black and white tone.

 

Here are my first conclusions with 2 rolls of Kodak TX for this New Year shots.
The last time I had also used two rolls of HP5 and 35 mm lens

 

With film, we take the time to frame, we think about what is going to take, not like inflation of pictures with digital  camera

Thanks Christop for your thoughts.

I lost in the same year my mother and my sister. Year 2015 damned !

as for the bombings in France. It will go better in a few times.

Yes , well noticed Christoph , the town hall just removed the locks

because the bridge could collapse.Thousands of locks weigh several tons  :) 

 

Best regards

Henry

I really like this kind of street photography with lights and long shadows. This photo reminds me on the work of RayMetzker. It is worth to have a look at his amazing photos if you do not know him
