Dear all,

 

As quite a few of you are still using Barnack-type Leica cameras (screw-mount, earlier fixed lens ones and 0-series replicas), I wanted to draw your attention to the latest iteration of the Barnack challenge. Details can be found here:

Best regards,

Summicron 90 is expensive but fabulous : contrast, nuance in gray or black tone
Fuji Acros film also contributes to this tonality
Anyway at the end , we get a good image  ! :)

Notice a high definition (stone, wall,windows ...) of film with soft lines

not agressive (cutting edges) like in digital

 

90 Apo Summicron Asph

Leica MP

Fuji Acros 100

 

 

Abbaye du Mont Saint Michel ,  as you can see from below
I remind you that this abbey is around 70 meters above the ground,
on top of a small hill , in the middle of the Bay  :)

GW690II in an urban environment (cont).  The Angel on Royal Wootton Bassett High St.  I don't think I have ever produced anything with smoother tonal transitions and fine grain than with this combination of neg size, film (Acros 100) & developer (Rodinal 1:50).

The sheer quality and resolution of the lens plus of course the 6x9cm neg are just about recompense enough for carrying 1.4kg around my neck!

 

Stray thought - how much does the Leica SL + 24-90 zoom weigh, I wonder? Quick check shows a few grammes under 2Kg - well that definitely means crossing it off my list...

I'll be out with mine this afternoon, shot a roll of Foma 400 this morning @ iso 1600

I was very pleased with my GW690 after I developed the first roll

The colour one, Henry. IMO it has more atmosphere, both compositionally (with the boat wake and distant haze) and I like the colour.

What is the diagonal pale area across top left corner

Gary thanks for your question. Well seen  !

The weather is stormy and there are times without sun and fast times with sun,

it is a ray of sunshine through the many clouds at the time of I took this picture
