Freddie Hendrix last night at Smoke .... Canon F-1 100mm FD f2 lens .... but the point here is that I used Portra 800 pushed 2 stops with a 80A cooling filter which has a 2 stop factor .... knowing how the reds can blow out these shots, I am very pleased and will do this again to learn more ..... in the people sector I have shots using Tri-X pushed one stop with a 80B filter to tone down the reds, filter has a one-stop factor ....

Nice shots Steve.

Curious though, why F1, and 100/2? Do you prefer the SLR and fast tele to what you have (and I don't know what you have) in the Leica M range?

wonderful photos all around.  And great gear for sure.  For me, the film stock used is at least as interesting.  Care to share?

 

I only just notice this so replying now. The portrait shot was on a Kodak 400 speed film I think (TMax?). The large format Big Ben shot was on Ilford FP4+.

My dog Fritz, yesterday.  IIIg + LTM Summicron 90 (SEOOF) on Portra 400.

What a wonderful picture. His character is shining through.

I agree with Trev and in film it's nicer, warmer with natural colors Reno

"soft" edges and lines of the fur

Really superb picture of this lovely companion

Very lovely, Charles.  So much so that I don't miss the colors at all...

Congrats, Steve.  Your concoction worked beautifully.   The first is the winner for me as the second seems to have lost a bit of its character from the slightly excessive exposure.  But I really am impressed at how well the portra 800 did with a full 2 stop push.  Wow.  And it gives you good speed in the low lights.  

As I think about it, for a gentleman like this Ektar would seem to also be a good choice as it would compliment his skin.  Is the 100 film speed simply too slow in this context (pushed one or two stops)??

Great contrast and colors.  Striking.

Three more from the same combo (and afternoon walk with Fritz):  Summicron 90 on IIIg and Portra 400.

And two from my 'new' SL2, top using APO-Telyt-R 280 f/4, bottom Elmarit-R 135 f/2.8.  Both also Portra 400.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

Thanks! I grew up using Canon film SLRs and recent came upon a 100mm FD lens f/2 which is a great lens. I do have a Elmarit M 90mm but it is in the shop being recalibrated. While this pics don't show it, the value (to me) of using a SLR for longer lenses is that selective focus of a crowd or group is much easier with an SLR. After an evening with the F1 (and I was using my M-A alongside, you see those shots in the People section), I am happy to put it back on the shelf!

Yes, 100 is way too slow .... slowest I can shoot there is 400 and then I have to pick my spots. Remember too, in this instance, the filter is helping the film in terms of color translation. I am still not 100% sure which is better, the 80A or 80B in this setting, need to get a K reading off a white card using my Q. The 80B, which is 1.3 stops, works really well with color from the last time and this time I see it works well with B&W, darkening the reds just enough to keep them from blowing out such that everything else would be underexposed to get the highlights in red properly exposed (see my shots in people with Tri-X pushed two stops). There is, as well, a school of thought that using the cooling filters are a good idea in this circumstances for digital as the red light and the sensor/meter don't always get along.
