Quite possibly my all-time favorite automobile - a 1930 Cadillac V-16 Roadster from the Clive Cussler Collection in Arvada, Colorado. Taken with an A-1 on 400TX.

 

From a few years back. FD 15mm fisheye on a Leica M.

Canon FD 17mm f4 on Canon T-90 Digitized with a FD 50/3.5 Macro on 5DII. Have not completed my documentation of these scans. I would assume this is Kodachrome 25 that I have converted to black and white. High Park Toronto, Ontario Winter 1989. For where I live I like February posts to be of winter scenes.

Wonderful collection this month !!!

Wow..... a 16 cylinder.? :)

denny_rane: The car is actually a stunning two-tone burgundy with a white rag top. The V-16 engine is 452 cubic inches producing 185hp. It's dual exhausts made it extremely quiet all the way up to 100mph. All models had custom made Fleetwood coaches and cost $7000 (1930USD).

I was asked to photograph an art class on Tuesday. I mostly used my cellphone, but also put a roll of Tri-X in my old F-1. FD 50/1.4 at F2.8.

You did a good job of catching them while in discussion. :)

 

BTW....... I shoot the F1 New. I never used the older models.

Have you shot both, just wondering what you prefer or if there is much difference?

Thanks

Owning both the original F-1 and F-1N cameras, the original is 100% mechanical (outside of the meter) and a throwback to an earlier era. I prefer the buttery smooth film advance and old-fashioned build quality to the more modern F-1N. But this is a personal preference, others will feel differently, I’m sure.

Great shots and discussions! On to March!

though this was shot in 1971 i finally scanned it off a slide in feburary 2020

Good Grief, better late than never.....

7k was quite a bit of money back then.

I would imagine they sell for a bit more than that, circa 2020. :)
