    Well, I’m waiting on fresh chemistry to be delivered this week. 👍 

    So, since the postings of recent weeks has slowed, I will share the judicious use of an ND filter when shooting wide-open.😃

    All of my other favorite lenses have their own image threads now, so I thought this one deserves one too. Feel free to post your own photos. Starting with an image that some may have seen before:

    The 50mm Summilux pre-aspheric draws wonderful images.  Here’s one from my favorite corner window at 18,000 feet in Northern California.  Stay healthy & be well. 00c87cab9b9a0c3ca5a927411e505c

      Spring is here! Finally, we can get out and walk comfortably in the downtown square of our little town and exercise our cameras.😃

      Our County courthouse is an example of gothic architecture.

        The downtown square is busy all time no matter the weather or season, but the tourists and local retirees who play checkers/chess are fair weather folks.

          It was a dark and stormy night.

          Morning arrived as it usually does and I was able to grab a pause in between storms to get a low light image of our our old weathered bench.

                    ...M6 +50/1.4 pre-asph Summilux (11114), Ilford FP4 souped in either D76 or ID11, c. 1991. I very rarely shoot colour and definitely prefer the output from my Mandler (11114) to my kick-ass Karbe (11891). The ensuing prints from the 11114 and V35 + 50 Focotar-2 are, for me, the right balance of sharpness, flatness of field, distortion and aberration correction, contrast, AND tonality. YMMV. Naturally.

                    Which image processing program do you use? Here I have used the Photoshop Dust & Scratches filter, and for the biggest spots I used the Healing brush tool. It took me a couple of minutes.

                      @evikne Wow! That's amazing!  Thanks so much for the tips.

                      I am from the stone age and hardly do post processing, but I do have a PS CS5 installed on my Late 2012 Mac Mini though :D  I just check and yes, there is a a Dust & Scratches filter in there.  I will figure out how to use it.  (Btw I have found a good tutorial to use this filter effectively:  A Better Way to Remove Dust & Scratches with Photoshop )
