todd frederick Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Those are totally wonderful documentary photos. Thank you so much for sharing them. The last photo is awesome: totally surrounded by his wares and his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WM Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Wonderful photos Alex, and also a great record of an era quickly being taken over by large supermarkets. Hope you'll be able to run hundreds of rolls through these types of lifestyle before they are gone forever. Great work, and thanks for sharing !

alex_fan1 Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 >> how did you shoot at f/2 with an f/2.8 lens ? ;-) Hi Carsten, the lens is "35/2 8-element ", it is a first version summicron, with 8-element not f/2.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabophoto Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Ah, sorry, my mistake. I didn't read carefully and confused it with a 35/2.8 Summaron. Cheers Carsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sk_szekiat Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 being someone who is all for sharpness, the lack of it disturbs me to a certain extent...nice series but i think a few clinically sharp photos would be nice, esp of the old man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivek iyer Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Very nice, Alex. I like them the way they are. Sharp enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael s. Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Very good series, Alex. The pictures of this gentleman literally surrounded by his merchandise have an excellent feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.brennan Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 They're sharp enough for me too! And I really like the whole "story", as others have commented. Very nice work; and very nice B&W. I've been enjoying Neopan 400 myself as well. regards, -Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
