Tried M6 + 35mm Summicron

[rui_lebreiro]

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Had a chance to try an M6 and 35mm summicron for a day.</p>

<p>I enjoyed very much the experience and feeling, and I was astonished when i got the pictures.</p>

<p>Amazing tones and contrast (w/ Ilford Hp5+)</p>

<p>That summicron is really something... I know i shouldn't have tried it :(</p>

A very fine combination, a 35 'cron and the M6. You really can't do much better than that for your style of photos. Anything better is only scientifically so.

I quite like your first picture. Interesting expression, as if he's thinking, "Oh gosh, somebody is taking my picture, what do I do now?"

<p>I'm actually more into the 2nd photo. Nice juxtoposition of the fresh-faced kid and the marchers in the background.</p>

[starvy]

<p>the second picture is quite excellent, followed by the first. what aperture did you take these?</p>

[Tony Rowlett]

Yeah, I like that one, too, and it is nicely composed.

<p>Very nice indeed. Don't overlook the zeiss biogen f/2 35mm. It's the only non-Leica glass I would receommend.</p>

 

[wentzu_chang]

<p>That is a wonderful combo!!! Pictures are wonderful...</p>

<p>I like very much use my M6 with 35mm Summicron. Beatiful pictures!</p>

[chris_mearns]

<p>You did great for a first outing. In focus and everything.</p>

[dave_s]

<p>I like #4, FWIW. <em>Tres</em> Koudelka.</p>

<p>Fotos excelentes de nossa grande celebração!</p>

<p>I also like the 2nd shot best. The M6 and the Summicron 35/2 come highly recommended by me.</p>

<p>Nice work regardless of what camera and lens you used.<br>

But an M camera and 35 'cron sure make a nice combination.</p>

<p>Leicas are very addicting. You are now hooked for life. Welcome to the club. Nice work, by the way!</p>

[rui_lebreiro]

<p>thank you all.</p>

<p>starvy, i'm not sure about the apperture. I chose an adequate shutter speed and then settled the proper apperture. Also i tried no to be too focus-demanding using narrow dof's.<br>

Think it was something between f/8 and f/11.</p>

<p>btw i found m6 very very easy to focus, when compared to my canon ql17 (canonet)</p>

<p>Hi Rui,</p>

<p>nice shots!</p>

<p>how did u digitise these images? I know they r low res but grain seems almost completely invisible. My last attempt to scan HP5 didn't look as smooth as that.</p>
