robert blu Posted June 30, 2018 Share #1004  Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Experimenting what happens when going out of the limits...M10, lens full open, iso 200, 0.7 sec. (of course I know I could have increased the iso and shot at 1/60 or faster...).  During a visit with my wife at a Picasso's exhibition. So came the idea to try something...crazy!

Ouroboros Posted July 3, 2018 Share #1006  Posted July 3, 2018 A couple of casual landscapes from Arnside Knott in Cumbria. M 240.       Just a personal observation and you probably won’t like it, but comparison between your images with this lens on an M 240 against your previous MA and Portra images are chalk and cheese. Curious to know why you made the change. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted July 3, 2018 Share #1007  Posted July 3, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just a personal observation and you probably won’t like it, but comparison between your images with this lens on an M 240 against your previous MA and Portra images are chalk and cheese. Curious to know why you made the change.   Why wouldn't I like your observation? If there wasn't a difference between the digital Leica and Portra I would have been wasting my time in recent years using the latter. I haven't "made the change"  . In fact, I had my M-A (loaded with Portra 400) with me when I took these photos, I just happened to have the 28 on the M 240 at the time*. I acquired the M 240 earlier in the year for a specific purpose and, contrary to my expectations, I quite like it. Not just for the specific purpose I bought it for but for more causal uses too. It hasn't replaced anything, I just use it in addition to my film cameras when it takes my fancy. There has been quite a bit going on in my life this year (family death included) and photography – especially the film/digital "thing" – has not been so high on my agenda.  *There have been times (and this might have been one, I can't remember) when I have been too lazy to swap bodies, even when I know I'd rather take the photo using film. To that end, I have given serious thought to flogging one of my underused/unused 35mm lenses for another 28 Summaron. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted August 26, 2018 Share #1020  Posted August 26, 2018 It's a lovely photo, I'm curious what you think you would have gained having used film?   It's a rational question that I cannot provide an entirely rational answer to but, in essence, I find the relationship between light and darker tones – and, perhaps crucially, the middle tones – to be more pleasing using film. Film also tends to construct the detail in a photograph differently to digital. The latter resolves detail a little too clearly for my taste (for certain photographic subjects) whilst the former tends to be more suggestive. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
