Advertisement Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Hi pippy, Take a look here if you had to choose only one F/stop (0.95-16). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

pippy Posted February 26, 2021 Share #163 Posted February 26, 2021 Getting towards the end of the month and it's been a fascinating experience! Had a short break after lunch today so dragged the good old Summarit out once more. Didn't have long so just went back to the Old Stomping Ground around the Crystal Palace Transmitter Tower; I seem to be building up a series of shots of this thing! Same as ever; M Monochrom / 50mm f1.5 Summarit shot wide open; Welcome, dear visitor!

Stephen.s1 Posted February 26, 2021 Share #164 Posted February 26, 2021 On 2/21/2021 at 5:27 PM, pippy said: True Story! When I was a student there was a watercolour by J.M.W. Turner ("Seascape; Folkestone" I believe) which sold at auction for around the $10m mark which, 35 years ago, was quite a bit of loose-change. I remember reading an article by a journalist at the time who, in conversation with the London cabbie in whose taxi he was travelling, mentioned he had just been covering the sale of the painting for his column in the paper. The cabbie was shown the catalogue's picture of the work and said "Funny how these Paintings which sell for millions always seem to be a bit out of focus"... Perhaps you recall that on the lower left corner of Seascape there are several razor sharp grasses... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, beautiful experience right? People sometimes are scared to joke, or to break the rules. Or just don't understand the reason behind the "why". Glad you enjoyed it.

In return, Dennis, I'm extremely grateful that you proposed the idea in the first place. My appreciation of the Summarit (which is ongoing) owes an enormous amount to the ethos behind this thread and, for that, I thank you most sincerely.
