Dave Murray Posted December 1, 2022 Share #88 Posted December 1, 2022 The Schneider Kreuznach P A Curtagon 35mm f4 was the first lens I bought on acquired a Leicaflex SL some six years ago. I found the shift mechanism to be reliable and very useful. As Dunk will have discovered, taking photographs of old buildings in narrow streets in the UK necessitates the use of a shift lens. I use the lens, sans shift, in street photography. The trick is to look as if you are interested in the adjacent buildings. Don’t make eye contact with people. Ignore them but make it appear that you’ve got a right to be there. No problems with police/security guards etc. Important to keep moving, it’s rare for the latter to chase you. I’ve found the results to be on a par with the 35mm f2.8 Elmarit R lens of similar vintage. I’ve used it with colour too. Results very acceptable. I don’t use Photoshop - that’s where I take my films for D&P. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'St Michael's' dates from the 12th C. when it was owned by Crowland Abbey and was rebuilt in the 15th, 17th and 18th centuries. In 1832 the church collapsed following removal of internal pillars – whence it was rebuilt again using Ketton stone at a cost of £4000. The church was declared redundant in 1974 and in 1982 was converted into shops by adding six plate glass windows. All the original stained glass and Georgian plasterwork was destroyed and the bells, organ and Medieval artefacts 'dispersed'. Noted architectural historian Nicholas Pevsner described the shops conversion as "appalling and unsympathetic"; the plate glass shop windows (not visible in photo but to the LHS of the tower) look totally out of place.

dkCambridgeshire Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share #99 Posted August 5, 2023 Last March I again photographed some of the Mary Lowndes stained glass in St Andrews Church chancel, Ufford near Stamford, Lincs UK but disregarded any images mistakenly exposed at the 24-90mm zoom lens' full f3.6 aperture at the 50mm setting – assuming they might not have sufficient depth of field and sharpness. However, reassessing the images yesterday they appeared to be usable so I've commenced processing. This is the first image illustrating Matthew 4:19-21 as per the window's inscription: "Venite post me et faciam vos fieri piscatores hominum" which translates to Jesus saying, "Come follow me and I will send you out to fish for people." Mary Lowndes, was on of the first notable 19th C. female stained glass artists & also a well know suffragette who designed many of the movement's banners. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Lowndes Welcome, dear visitor!
