one of my very last pictures made with the MM1

on this one I noticed the problem, that I know from the M9 - the sensor got corroded too 😞

I sent it to Leica and I got the diagnosis: it is corrosion. The cameras is older that 5 years and I have to pay about 1.500€ for the new sensor :-((
Leica offered an upgrade to the 246 and after many days of thinking I excepted - and now I wait for it and hope, this one will last longer!

Very nice! I wondered why. After a while I became convinced that this an example of the idea that it does matter what gear you use. Very nice combination of an old lens with a modern image carrier.

My wife and I were looking through her late father's photographs - taken with a Leica IIIf, which my wife inherited - and being impressed with how small all the photographs were/are. The experience reminded me of some exhibits in exhibitions of old photos I've seen in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery here in Edinburgh, where you have to walk right up to the image to get a good look at it, just inches from your nose. There's something about going towards something of potential interest, rather than having it assault your space from afar. This won't work so well online, but here goes, with a few shots from yesterday.

how small

Yes the third one illustrates best the idea in your story. Right because it’s so small, the dark end in the wood invites to inspection and remains a mystery.

A bit of a confrontation for me in a period where I’m busy with the largest wet prints I ever made 😁

Rob,

For me this may be good ideas with prints,

these images just don't work for me "on line", too small or not same kind of perceiving with computer screen and on paper ?

 

This size is (for me of course) of 800 pixels

is the "comfort zone limit" size on screen

how about you ?

Otto - your comments make me smile. I'm pleased the third image drew you in, but I wish you well with your large wet prints! 🙂

Arnaud - most definitely these should be framed prints on a wall, inviting you to move towards them. I did mention that I thought the effect would not work so well on screen - especially when my wife, looking at the them on her iPad, automatically used her fingers to quickly enlarge them! 🙂 Your image is of course more, as you put it, comfortable, but gives a different effect than the one I was aiming for.

I might try creating a zine of prints, with one small image in the centre of each page, see if that works...I still like the idea of the viewer being drawn in, as opposed to being given everything up front and instant. Anyway, thanks for your valuable feedback!

Thanks Rob for your kind words.

Nice idea "of the viewer being drawn in".

 

Image sizes always bother me, as before with projected slides on 2 meters screen.

Anecdotical out of topic, some decades ago, when we projected our slides (that day we had "only 1.5m " large screen ! ) those Kodachrome didn't show

what we've seen in real some days before at the mountains ( a couple of kilometers large ! ).

Since those days, we admit that pictures in most cases don't "show what we've seen in real life", we must take that into account so to say it short ...

the best gear can only "reduce realities" (why bother).

 

I'm preparing a post that big blow-up (cropping) can make sens while the whole image is another "image" which can lives it's life.
