steve kessel Posted July 20, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 20, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) After some 15 months on this forum reading and posting images from my D-Lux 2, I recently decided to go "retro" and learn more about film photography. Just this once I ask the moderator's indulgence in letting me post these images. No Leica gear, unfortunately, but a great Bessa R3-M with 50/2.0 Heliar lens found on the Rangefinder Forum, taken with Kodax 400TX exposed at ISO250. I'll still be watching what's going on here and posting D-Lux pictures. Thank you to everyone - I've learnt so much here. Steve.

Advertisement Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Hi steve kessel, Take a look here Ich bin ein Voigtlander. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest stnami Posted July 20, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 20, 2007 Steve, I have a Bessa R4A, a Leica ,some CV lenses ( lots of M8 guys own one as well) and some canon LSM lenses. I went for the Bessa as it was easier to load and the price. It's worth a look at the old canon and leica lenses, the canons seem to be subject to less flare the the Leica lens. I have used the Leica 50 LSM for indoor portraits with a southern light filtering through a window great results........ Enjoy and stick around Imants Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canfred Posted July 20, 2007 Share #3 Posted July 20, 2007 Hi Steve , to this headline I like to point out . Voigtlaender is no longer the fact that CV has highjacked the name does not bring them back. If you whish to prove this just for you get hold of a Prominent fit a Nokton or even the standart Ultron and shoot. The result will have you convinced. I certainly am convinced there will be improvement compared with your posted shots. Cheers Manfred Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vic vic Posted July 21, 2007 Share #7 Posted July 21, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) hahaha steve........... well done man........ congrats ) very nice pics indeed and keep on doing them and posting them too .......... about leica or not leica.......... that is a big story........ i prefer not to see in "leica" a name of the $$$$$$$camera although that is what it is in practice......... i think "leica" is a referance to some kind of values and virtues of photography .... i saw many pictures that were not made on leica but were leica spirit while i saw many other (especially here on this forum) that are craps that are made on "leica camera that became a $$$$gadget"............... i also started rangefinder photography with voigtlander bessa r2-olive.... those were my first steps and that time it was just a newly released M-ring metal camera i think and it fitted my "students pocket" that i was then .......... needless to say that the dream was leica and photographic vlaues were "leica".......... and indeed, i can tell u that my old voigltalnder "first leica" pictures are not less "leica pictures" then the photos i make on real lieca ........... why i repeat "leica leica".......... cause i think that what keeps and what will keep leica is not that gadget attitude...... their gadget attitude is not only on this forum (epsecially m8 forum)...... i saw it already with their new campaign before that photokina 2006 (with the graphics of "part of the body")........... it was selling the lebel into the slogans, rather than selling real values of that lebel........ note...... im not talking about romantic "leica" poetry now........ im talking purely "lebeling science" - "marketing/promotion etc" .....
