Uhooru Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Hi all, happy Pic o the week. Thanks for the nice work in the last few weeks. Here's another opportunity to shine! I'll start with a photo taken of a great friend of mine with a Fuji X-Pro2 and Leica 50 or 35 mm Summicron (can't remember which). Don't be shy now, let's see what you've got! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stric Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Hello, Well the spring is finally upon us here in Minnesota, but abot a month ago we were slammed with nearly 2 feet of snow and it made the whole month of April a hellish experience. While I hated shovelling all that snow (backbreaking waste of time), Mirza absolutely loved it. Here is he just before the big snowfall, looking for snow to shovell. Here, he found some snow. I guess life is a beach for him, even in the winter. Leica MP, 35 mm Summicron (IV), some expired Fujifilm Velvia 100.

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 So, my offering: travelled to Sydney this last weekend for 'mother's day'. My mother is in a nursing home. Demented. I'm lucky if I get 'who told you I was here, how did you find out'. Generally, she doesn't know who I am. It's actually quite distressing for both of us. I've seen the future, and it's ugly. But the photos. I travelled there and back by train, about 6 hours each way. The train is a microcosm of poverty, disadvantage, and rural Australia. The second shot is of one of the other passengers. The first, a shot of a street performer at Central, the main train station at Sydney, where I get off. Stric, great shots, and billblackwellphotograpy, well done. And Uhooru, a lovely shot that captures personality. Regards, Arthur (apiarist1) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christopher_a._junker1 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Nice, and people climb it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Lazzari Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Yes Christopher they do "climb it" ! Check out the 'stairs' at the right side of the dome; simply click on the image and see the magnified picture. The made in 1958 EIGHT element Leitz lens at its optimal f/5.6 aperture, is such an amazing lens. Even with me cropping the image zoomed in to 55%, the resolution held up (My tests show it just as sharp as the modern Leica ASPH equivalent). Plus, couple it to the wonderful CCD sensor of the M9, and it looks like film grain ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I'll second Christopher's comment. That is a very good photo, Gus. The lens sounds very special. Were many made? Can it be found? Regards, Arthur (apiarist1) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Lazzari Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Thank you gentlemen. Here's a very comprehensive write-up/review of this stunning lens: "the immortal LEICA SUMMICRON 35mm f/2, made by Ernst Leitz of Wetzlar, Germany, is among the finest 35mm lenses ever made. It is tiny, ultra-sharp, ultra-fast, and has no distortion" 8 Element <<< click - I have the non-goggled unit, which can fit on a Screw-mount or M-mount camera. Another one from the same lens at f/8 - Pyramid Lake California Even with my slightly too much over sharpening; I can make out the tiny sign on the road at mid-right...

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Greg M, this is reminiscent of some very beautiful photos I saw, many years ago, called 'seeking the paths of eternity'. You've done well. Regards, and thanks for reviving a memory. Arthur (apiarist1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
