Double (dark) and triple (light) After a long day of streetphotography and camera loaded with Kodak tri-x I enjoyed that cold beer a lot.

My speciality. Antioxidants are very good but there is consistent and growing evidence that alcohol in almost any amount is injurious to one's health.

Paulus Posted June 15, 2017 Share #3687 Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) At 7% alc., no doubt you did enjoy it! It's not the meager 8,4 procent I like in the Pauwel Kwak, but the taste is wonderful, but it's better not to drink one every day... On the point of wine versus abbey beer, one might think about the fact that the monks are in great health. I once stayed in Affligem, an abbey with also great beer. On the subject of stress and intollerance, one of the monks said : It's better to take an Affligem on occasion than to make a fuzz. The abbey lies in great belgian surroundings, I have made some shot's with my M9 ...but now we are really off topic :https://pauljoostenfotograaf.smugmug.com/Journalism/Affligem-kleur/i-wwTQXD9/A Edited June 15, 2017 by Paulus 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why "antioxidants" are great * ? not alcohol , because we know now in 2017 that oxidation of brain , due by stress or brain infection or increase lipids can induce the AD during many years .

romualdo Posted June 22, 2017 Share #3691 Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) MP "macro" style - Visoflex I setup with DR Summicron 50 - lens head/optics removed & screwed into bellows (this lens plus the 135 f4 Elmar had detachable optics that complimented the visoflex bellows) Bulky configuration but great results - though not 19th century this does have a "steampunk" feel to it.

Doc H Definitely for macro photography here The visoflex system was an early type of SLR ie there was a mirror present within the unit, so one cable lifts the mirror while the second takes the shot (shutter) - there is a delay between the action of the two - mirror up first then shutter opens Edited June 22, 2017 by romualdo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
romualdo Posted June 22, 2017 Share #3694 Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) A Nice Pair (as Pink Floyd noted) of M's, old & new - 40 years apart sporting a couple of new aquisitions 1. M3 - Tom Abrahamsson memorial soft shutter button 2. MP - Summaron 35 f2.8 (genuine LTM with M adaptor) - this is such a gorgeous/sexy lens IMHO - light, compact with beautiful ergonomics (plus performance) I also have a 35 f2 ASPH but prefer the Summaron for handling & aesthetics - have no issue with chrome lenses on black bodies, actually like the contrast plus a black lens hood makes it even more appealing Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest Posted June 22, 2017 Share #3695 Posted June 22, 2017 Nice macro setup! Coincidentally, I'm in the process of putting together a 35mm-format based macro setup, as my medium format setup is too large to carry around. I was thinking about a manual Nikon setup, but your Visoflex makes me want to explore that path as well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about a manual Nikon setup, but your Visoflex makes me want to explore that path as well... David The visoflex units are quite easy to pick up, especially the I series (series II & III are generally more sought after - all, I-III are compatible with M mount while I also covers LTM leicas) - I obtained my set via Ebay (USA) for a very good price & basically unused. I would certainly go down this path if you already have leica camera(s). Sorry for being a bit off topic here - MP related only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted June 23, 2017 Share #3697 Posted June 23, 2017 You might like to check the "heights" of the varying cameras. I recall (I think?) the Viso 3 clears all of the cameras, but the earlier ones I believe may not. Might be thinking of the digital Leicas as well, but perhaps check. My experience has me using my ancient Leicaflex for any close-up work, using the bog-standard 50mm Summicron R, and an Elpro (V1a or V1b). Much easier, all round, believe me.

Guest Posted June 23, 2017 Share #3698 Posted June 23, 2017 Thanks for the advice! I have an MP and a 90mm Elmar Macro, so I reckon squeezing a Visoflex between the two would make it a capable macro setup. I'll post pictures here once/if I go that route!

Paul Verrips Posted June 24, 2017 Share #3699 Posted June 24, 2017 It's not a MP, but has partly the looks: I had one of my M7's changed from chrome black to black paint in MP style and i love the result.
