...As to the film, that's more difficult. It has a blue cast, so Fuji comes to mind (although the Fuji films I use are not THAT bluish)...

 

Andy,

 

My first thought was Kodachrome... and then Fuji and back to Kodachrome and then back to Fuji...

 

Andy, I agree there's something weird for a Fuji. That's the reason for my hesitation between Provia and Velvia... Now you mention the blue cast, I start considering again Kodachrome film... on a cloudy day, you can get that blue cast on leaves, trees... with Kodachrome film. As the picture is very small and we have no crops at 100%, it makes it more difficult.

 

Let's take the risk of saying the film is Kodachrome! :cool:

 

C'mon guys, next time please post 100% crops and pictures taken wide opened :confused:

This was shot as close to wide open as possible, which means it was stopped down no more than one stop max.

 

A clue about the film: That day I was using both my M bodies, one with Velvia 50 and one with Kodachrome. Which one is this?

Well, with this additional information I am with ArtZ, it must be Kodachrome. Velvia would be significantly more color saturated.

I don't guess on film: about the lens, agree on 90, but.. to me is not an ASPH... and my guess is for a non-Summicron... let'say an Elmarit 90 at 2,8 or even 4.

 

... see the OOF of foliage at right... and Andy guess for a 135 can be on target... I frankly was someway uncertain to agree on the 90 (and, just around my previous pic... :D... it surely is NOT an Elmar 105 f 6,3 :p)

Some very interesting educated guesses here, but it's time to break the suspense and clear the deck for the next photo.

 

The film is indeed Kodachrome 64 and the lens is the Apo 90 Summicron Asph. shot at either f2.5 or 2.8.

 

Congraulations to ArtZ and Andy (Wizard), who got them both.

 

Incidentally, I probably need to calibrate my monitor, because I do not see any blue cast at all in this photo.

:eek:

 

So what was the price? A trip to Japan? I start packing my cameras! :D :D :D

 

Let's wait for the next picture...

I'd say Summilux 50/1.4 ASPH wide open

 

I don't think is that, the bokeh of the Lux 5o asph is quite different.

None of the lens I have makes that kind of bokeh

Oh, I'm late as usual, the game is over... :D

Revealing typo ... :) ... in Leica world we are too accustomed to anything having a PRICE...

 

Luigi,

 

Oops! I meant prix! (not price) I suppose I mixed French and English. "Prix" in French means price... and it was 6:21 AM... still sleeping... :o

 

Enrico,

 

You can post a picture... to keep the game alive ;)

 

Cheers to all
