the warrior Posted March 20, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 20, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've been doing some tests with a Leica lens 5cm f2 1956, this lens has very scratched glass, so you do not see the diagragma, but the results have been very good in my opinion.I like to use Vaseline sometimes in my photographs, but it seems to have a UV filter scratch is better than Vaseline.I recall that manufactured a Leica lens with a filter having a large black circle in the middle, it was to subtract sharpness because the ladies threw them portraits photographers on their heads to see the pores of the skin.I leave the link to my blog for photos, It is the second post. http://36fotogramas.blogspot.com.es/ I subsequently replaced the front glass with a new one as this objective is the collection and unused, now this lens goes out often. I like this lens with scratches and without them, the genbte spend a lot of money looking for perfection and it turns out we have 300 euros in a forgotten box.This world of consumerism has made us crazy.

lmans Posted March 20, 2016 Share #2 Posted March 20, 2016 I like your style....I like your creativity. I too like to do odd things with photos to give them a 'odd look'....I suppose for lack of better terms. Although I use film and at times the image comes out odd to begin with, it is cool to play around with different approaches, light....photo-processing etc...to get an unusual look. Now, I like the bottom image above more than the top. The bottom is dark....the person is illuminated and that 'hand'...that hand....whose is it? To whom does it belong to? I like that allure, that mystery.... nice shot. jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the warrior Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted March 21, 2016 I feel sorry because my ability to speak and write Inges is very little and therefore my ability to understand is small, and I would like to explain more things and to change more impressions on the photograph."A photograph is the result of the sum of many mistakes and successes." Jhon Bosch.If we know the result will be good and the picture will be a work of art, if we lack training buens we never get results, only one shot between 1 million is good for luck.My photos are mediocre, I'm always learning. If we like to do real photograph must be preparads and acquire great knowledge.Greetings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

david strachan Posted March 25, 2016 Share #16 Posted March 25, 2016 To day, with a scratched filter mounted in the Summicron f2 5cm collapsible (1956) and the Monochrom Is a crop. Would you be so good to post the full image please. I like what I am see ing regarding diffusion. I am aware of soft focus, softars etc..even Vaseline. But this just looks a little different to an OOF lens, as well. If you'd be so good Warrior...would love to see the whole picture. cheers Dave S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColColt Posted March 30, 2016 Share #18 Posted March 30, 2016 Those images were surprising to me. Makes me want to take a little sandpaper to an old Hoya filter I have! That link to the photos-the first photo of the nun looked awfully familiar and now I remember. It was a shot taken by W. Eugene Smith of a nun awaiting survivors of the Andrea Doria sinking.
