In the Berlin tube...

We have just returned from two weeks in Berlin. I took my MP with a 50 'cron and a Zeiss Biogon 28mm and my CM. The MP was used predominantly with Koday BW 400CN and the CM was fed a diet of Fuji 160S (and a single roll of 800Z).

 

The 28mm proved to be a great focal length and saw the bulk of use on the MP. I ended up shooting about 12 rolls of the 400CN, about 8 of the 160S, plus a bit of Delta 100. I found the whole experience very satisfying and much more friendly than lugging around the 5D and three zooms.

 

I also took a full size tripod and a Manfrotto table top tripod, which proved extremely useful.

 

I will post some over the next little while, but continuing the Russian tube theme, here are some taken on the Berlin tube which we made very extensive use of.

I commented on the Reichstag photos first but these are equally good and a reminder to new M film users like me of what can be achieved with care and attention. I'm in awe at shot #2 which must have been a grab shot but works brilliantly. #4 is the best, the composition, choice of speed and aperture work together so well.

Louis - thank you. That is very kind. I am a reasonably new M film user myself. The MP was purchased in February, the CM about a year before. Taking an M on holiday was a revelation.

Well, you definitely know what you are doing. I was in Calumet yesterday buying some film and I paused to fondle a Canon 5D. I like the convenience of a rangefinder in terms of form factor and weight but I keep flirting with the idea of a 5D. Seeing shots like these, I think I'll perservere with my M6 and R-D1 for a little bit longer :-)
