marco_vera1 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Sometimes a weekend happens, when the wife & kid are out of town, the snow has buried you indoors and all that is left to do is play in the darkroom for 16 hours and give the "vintage" flatbed scanner a workout..here are some of the results. Your comments are appreciated. Taken with a Contax IIIa and a 21mm Biogon this past December..Small town (Calcata) just north of Rome, Italy.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene m Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Really striking. Film ? Developer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco_vera1 Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 this is Ilford FP4+ in ID-11 at the recommended times...The print is from an underexposed negative (by at least one & half stops) but printed up rather well on Grade 3 1/2 paper.

red_buckner Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I agree it's a striking shot. Thanks, Marco, for putting up these threads. I add here a shot by a much humbler camera, the Argus C4.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco_vera1 Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 Red, Wonderful shot, monochrome until you hit the people! Great. I have an Argus sitting around, must feed it with film! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco_vera1 Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 Another Contax IIIa shot, this time in Spoleto (Central Italy) with a postwar 35mm f2.8 Biogon.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_buckner Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Another people-in-front-of-architecture shot, this one with a Minolta SRT 101. If you've got a 101, get it out too!<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_buckner Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 And just for kicks, a Contaflex IV.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_buckner Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 And just in case some of you don't know the Contaflex IV, here's a shot of my very own. Love that Tessar!<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean_williams Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Very nice work, Marco. You should send Momma and the kid out shopping more often! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_m Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I loved the first B&W shot. The shot by Red of the glass arch was great too. How did you keep the verticals so straight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_bedell Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I wouldn't kick a Contax with the 21mm out of bed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mskovacs Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 VERY NICE! I see so few shots made with the 21 Biogon and it sure seems worthy of its reputation. If only someone with both could tell me how it compares to the Cosina Voigtlander 21/4 in Contax mount! There was a very nice 21 Biogon that went for about $800 on ebay a few weeks back.

marco_vera1 Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 That Biogon "fell" into my hands a few years ago, having traded it for a Piece (front shutter, panel and lens) of a 1914 Simplex Multi-exposure. I have never regretted the trade. The best thing about it is that is you keep the camera level you can hardly tell it's an ultrawide! Will post another shot (on this thread)if I get the chance.
