Henry,

 

Nice, especially I like the clouds in the sky;  the overall impression matches well with what I saw when I visited some time ago. Memories of oysters are returning...

If you must choose a color film , as I said , take flowers

and make a comparison , the best way to choose your film brand !

25579733846_3afd5a5344_b.jpgEgg bei Einsiedeln - Ilford XP2 film by -Ric Capucho-

 

 

Street shot! Erm, well a shot of people walking along a (cough cough) foggy path... Taken with my beloved M6, on my no longer beloved XP2. But I must admit XP2 does a good job with fog...

 

Someone told me somewhere (might have been a Flickr comment, can't find it now) "how lucky I am to live somewhere that's always foggy".

 

Made me smile, because we live over 700m up, so at this time of year we're usually above what the Swiss call the "Nebelmeer" which literally translates as the "cloud sea". So we usually "suffer" clear blue skies, whilst poor Zürich (at just over 400m) is usually under the same clouds for weeks at a time. And bright blue skies are cr@p for the sort of photography I most enjoy.

 

So, on those odd days we're *in* those clouds I rush out with a camera and let rip. And what I love on those days is that subject isolation comes for free, and there's literally a composition at every turn. One of the reasons I keep posting endless foggy landscapes is that it's a breeze to get 15-20 "keepers" per film.

 

Doesn't mean those keepers are high art that makes the other posters on this thread green with envy, or causes girls to blush and admire me... but I like 'em.

...and I just wanted to comment on how jealous I am wrt the nice foggy conditions of yours ... but now I won't ... :p

I think your most successful fog-shots are those that have a pronounced atmospheric depth effect: something almost black in the foreground, something mid-grey in the middle, and something far away disappearing in the mist...

 

Have a good weekend,

Keith , interesting comparison

The first point is the definition of the grooves or wood grain

(the smoothing of pixels on the first picture) of the vertical piece of wood

over the lock

Secondly wood texture is not the same

Same remark for the definition of the iron grid

If it is a Leica lens on the Fuji , it would be better defined IMO

A crop of the areas that I mentioned would be interesting

I disagree the lens on this camera is equal to Leica lenses and gets rave reviews

The church in the hamlet of Winterbourne Monckton, near Avebury.  Another from Thursday's roll of Tri-X in the Fuji GW690II.

Gary I agree for the quality of Fuji lenses

But I tested the Xpro1 + Fujinon 18mm asph versus Leica M8 + 28 Summicon Asph here :

XPro1 Cmos - 16 Mpx (Click the top, the middle and right icon to enlarge) + tripod

Note the green moss on the tree in the middle and the color of the sky and small branches

(all pictures uncorrected)

http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Doc+Henry/DSCF9034arbrlongxpro1lught___red1200.jpg.html

M8 CCD - 10Mpx + tripod

http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Doc+Henry/L1014667arblongm828cronlught___red1200.jpg.html

For color , general rendering of Fujinon is less good, compared to Summicron (color tone,definition etc ...)

If you don't believe me, I'll post crops here :)  

I admit this is not film camera for these tests.I think the definition will be different but if anyone here wants to do,

I am starting out with him.

Henry

Another pictures in comparison : note the red bricks

Keith - if you are talking about a certain dashingly handsome and well groomed gentleman from NYC, I will confirm that it was me :)

I think a need therapy after seeing that thread you started...

After all these hundreds and hundreds of pages of film love fests, I couldn't believe my eyes..

I just wish we had gotten to you sooner... :(

We need to see proof of your statement "Dashingly Handsome and well groomed gentleman" :D

Gary , very nice b&w pictures

 

To finish with 2 photos , Keith posted as comparison, I say that Fuji Film camera GS MF (6x4.5) gives a higher definition than digital. I think you have deducted yourself in what I said above, and the Fujinon lenses are of good quality and cheaper and we agree .

I do not want to offend anyone here who uses Fuji  but it is a subject that interests me (I have a critical mind, I know)

especially as with my negatives, I often make enlargements and print.

 

For your info, I also posted pictures in LUG of :

Nikon D800 vs.M9 and  also compared M8-M9 and M7-MP.

You can see them on the site LUG.
