maate Posted March 27, 2017 Share #202 Posted March 27, 2017 Did you have any considerations on you lens choice that made you go with the elmarit over the summaron (which you used heavily in your Anonymous New Yorkers project). Was it "just" the extra two stops in the winter conditions? Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it "just" the extra two stops in the winter conditions? Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk It really didn't have anything to do with the extra two stops, as I am typically at f8-11 most of the time. The reason is that I don't have a hood for the summaron and the glass is much more exposed to the snow flakes. It is also much smaller of a lens and so a little drip would have a bigger smudge impact on the resulting picture as it takes up more surface area on the lens. The hood on the elmarit pre ash is the same large plastic obnoxious hood that comes with the 28 cron. This comes in really handy at protecting the front lens element from snow flakes and wet spots. The lens does get them, but much less frequently that if the glass was exposed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonel Posted March 28, 2017 Share #206 Posted March 28, 2017 Adam, why M7 and not M-A ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share #207 Posted March 30, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Adam, why M7 and not M-A ? The M7 has better receptivity to the flash and the TTL helps tame it a little. Plus the M7 is my least favorite of my Ms and if it gets water logged I will be least miserable... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwpics Posted March 31, 2017 Share #209 Posted March 31, 2017 M7, 28mm elmarit pre-asph, Portra 400 That is a wonderfully battered umbrella and a very pretty face. Nice capture as usual Adam. Gerry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never used my M7 with flash (and have only seldom used my M9 with it). Is the flash you are using a Leica flash or a third-party one? I would hate to think of my M7 being waterlogged. Once, on a trip to the US I slipped on some rocks and my M3 dropped into a rock pool. I dried it out in the hotel room and carried on using it, returning it to my Leica dealer when I got home. He commented "It looks fine to me, and I am sure it will be fine for a long time. If you ever think of getting rid of it though please don't bring it here." I used it as a back-up for a long time, but eventually sold it when I went digital and moved to Nikon (Leica had nothing digital at that time).

Yes, my flash is a Leica (SF-24D). I can't believe your story about your M3. Wow. I wonder if it is still in operation! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps one of these years i will have enough gems to make some kind of public work out of this. I feel like i still need at least another 1 or 2 blizzards to reach that milestone and definitively establish myself as the king of NYC sniw blizzard FILM photographs. Keep in touch!
