pauledell Posted January 20, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 20, 2014 Adam, Great pictures of a car I could never hope to drive. And yes, they are not in the same class as the Toyotas. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 20, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 20, 2014 458 Speciale. I guess they finally permit photos inside the showroom -- All of my photos there over the years have been through the windows. Lovely shots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

likalar Posted January 23, 2014 Share #5 Posted January 23, 2014 Excellent views of this car, and the quality is inspirational for anyone that has doubts about image-making capabilities of older gear and film (in the right hands). Beautiful work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful work! Thanks, Larry. Sincerely appreciated. I looked all over that dealership and couldn't find any kissing door handles, however Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcraf Posted January 26, 2014 Share #9 Posted January 26, 2014 Very impressive shots indeed, and the car's not bad either. I'd echo the comment that it is quite phenomenal what can be achieved with really old Leica gear, in skilled hands. Having just bought a used M7 to add to my otherwise totally digital stable, your shots have inspired me, and gone some way to reassuring me that I am not mad. Out of interest, may I ask what the negs were scanned on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share #10 Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks again all for the very kind comments. John - I scan my negatives with a Nikon Coolscan 9000 scanner. It is quite expensive for a non-professional. But I had a large project of scanning over 800 medium format negatives from my late father's NYC paparazzi days back in the late 60's. So that alone justified the purchase. It is quite an amazing scanner and brings out nearly the full glory of the negative. I am not an expert, but my sense is that the scanner cannot benefit fully from the full exposure latitude of film. So it therefore probably is not able to extract the same degree of tonality and DR as a manually printed negative with "dodge and burn" treatment. Having said this, the lab where I take have my negatives developed (which is a major one in the NYC photo district) doesn't even manually print above something like 12X16. For everything larger they will digitize the negative first and then print. So the manual printing of negatives in a extra large size seems to be very hard to obtain these days, fwiw.
