Advertisement Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Hi marke, Take a look here More images from 1941. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Mark Antony Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share #22 Posted August 3, 2007 I think this one is just as good: Now i have finished developing my little project I have to step up trying to find out who these people are. It is possible that the children in these pictures are 65-70 years old. I'm not sure what to do next, exhibition? magazine article? Anyhow I hope you all enjoyed these images, and although they are not from a Leica (at least I think not as all the LTMs I've used had the image over the sprockets) it was taken with an early rangefinder on 160ASA film in 1941 and to top it all they are lovely images.

Leitz/Barnack 'invented' the 35mm standard format after all by doubling the image area of the standard 35mm movie camera, all LTM's should have a perfectly standard 35mm frame area. I've just double checked my lllf's images and they are 'normal'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron110n Posted August 14, 2007 Share #26 Posted August 14, 2007 Hey Mark, The girl on a veil is a winner! I was playing with it on PS adding color tone and it's just so imaculate. To my taste, I will prefer to color tone it on matte paper and burn in an enlarger. Of course, matching a 1940's antique frame. Congrats for the catch! -Ron ________________ Caveman's Gallery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi James I'm pretty sure, the frame size is a standard 24x36 but all of the Barnacks I've seen (quite a few) have had the image slightly over the sprocket holes, I know HCBs Barnacks did this as he printed the whole neg area. I asked a knowledgeable guy about this and he said it was part of the signature of LTM bodies. These 1941 negs have very uneven almost rounded corners, like the gate was cast but not machined, they are irregular, as is the wind-on frames vary in space between them, which is not unusual.

Congrats for the catch! -Ron ________________ Caveman's Gallery Thanks Ron Great minds think alike, I have been using duotones to simulate Portriga and Record Rapid, which would be the kind of papers I'd use if I was still working 'wet'. I have to test some of the new Ilford Baryta ink-jet paper for my digital blog: The Unsharp Mask So I think this image is a good candidate along with a Portriga type duo-tone effect.
