svenning Posted June 28, 2006 Share #1 Posted June 28, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) On the old Leica Forum a lot of professional photographers suggested that I bought myself a 60mm Macro-Elmarit to photograph close-up pictures (!) They also suggested to take photographs on film and I have now dusted off my old Leica-R cameras and started to shoot flower pictures on Fujichrome Sensia diapositive film - and I must admit that film makes better results than the digital sensors can make (!) What do you think (?) Leica R4, Leitz 60mm Macro-Elmarit, Fujichrome 100 ISO, exposure not recorded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ley Posted June 28, 2006 Share #2 Posted June 28, 2006 The color is lovely, its got that Leica tastes look to it. Sensia was one of my favourite film;) I have shot alot of macro images in digital, but when I switched back to film, the result on the slides are so beautiful that makes me keep falling inlove in shooting film again and again:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macos Posted June 28, 2006 Share #3 Posted June 28, 2006 Hi svenning, I share your opinion that slides offer a special brilliance especially when being projected. However, the presentation on the digital medium is difficult. Scans of slides require some attention and lots of sharpening. I tried to somehow 'improve' your original by contrast and unsharp mask editing. Hope this is alright for you. However, my results still not show the real potential. I assume your original scan sharpness might be improvable. Have your tried to set the focus point manually? Best regards macos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_dufour Posted June 28, 2006 Share #4 Posted June 28, 2006 Svenning, I agree with you. I use a R 6.2, and I still think that, at the moment, a sophisticated mechanical camera, together with good lenses and Velvia 100 or 50, gives a combination which results are difficult to improve. You have to try these films :-) Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
