Mike Gammill Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 In some time zones it's already Friday the 28th so time to start up. I'll begin with some images from a Pentax Spotmatic F that was given to me recently (along with 28, 105, and 200 mm Takumars!) Meter seems to be about right. Tri-X in HC110 dilution B.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 The 28, 105, and 200 lenses are for another picture outing. All of these were done with the 50mm f1.4. Don't forget, if you have that "fourth" photo sitting on your computer feeling "unviewed" and "unappreciated" remember that it can find a home on the 365 day thread.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Last shot. Took the Spotmatic F to church last Sunday and managed to get this crowd photo from the balcony where I was running the sound system.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donald_miller5 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 <p>I am bending the rules but I am doing something different that I think is interesting. These were taken with my camera and it is my family. Good old Kodachrome taken circa 1943. Just a cut of life from back then that most of us can relate to. First, typical family in their 1940's clothes.,</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donald_miller5 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 <p>Rutland Road in Brooklyn, N.Y.. Notice that dropsy on the ankles which I remember as not rare to see in the 50"s.

rajmohan. Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 <p>Hi everyone<br> Great images, as always!<br> Here are a couple from the first roll I put through my recently acquired Voigtlaender Vitessa T (a gorgeous machine!). First, a bit of wall that called to me...<br> <img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/685/20964869112_36026f3aa7_b.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 <p>Like the colors, Brad. I must try some slide film again soon. Great shots, Rick. That Tamron 28mm f2.5 is more than just a good performer, it's a great value as well. Even though I have 28mm primes for every camera system I own, I still use my Tamron 28 because of its compactness. Great look back, Donald. I still have my dad's Kodachrome's that date back to 1954 when he bought a Voigtlander Vitessa L. I inherited that camera so I plan to run some film through it before long. Great shots, Rajmohan. Thanks all for contributing to our weekend thread.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajmohan. Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 <p>Thank you, <strong>Mike</strong>. <br> I also agree - the colors in your photos, <strong>Brad</strong>, are just lovely, and without the clinical sterility of digital color. I've never shot slide film, but now I'm inspired to try!!<br> <strong>Rick</strong> and <strong>Mike</strong> - I always enjoy your BW images - both for the lovely tonalities and the stories they tell.<br> <strong>Donald</strong> - these images are from an era I never saw, but they speak volumes. Thank you for sharing them!<br> Finally, please forgive me if this is not the best thread for this, but since you are all classic camera afficionados, is it okay for me to ask a question about learning to repair/service old cameras, or would that contravene the rules?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Cloven Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 <p>Rajmohan:</p> <p>Love "Trinity". Great color contrast. Good eye.</p> <p>If you're going to try slides, Velvia is super-saturated with very narrow exposure latitude, and Provia is just well-saturated with slightly wider latitude. Velvia works really well for things, and Provia works well for things and just barely for people.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donald_miller5 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 <p>To steal a line from the James Bond movie Live and Let Die "It's one of them there car boats.</p> <p>Rajmohan, I would be glad to answer the question if I knew anything about repair. I just think that you would reach a wider audience and get more responses if you start a thread by posing a question</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin_cozine Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 <p>Rajmohan: I think the first one could have been framed a bit better. I find the shadow distracting maybe crop a little and make the window square with the frame?</p> <p>I really like the "Trinity" shot!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin_cozine Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 <p>Rick: do you have any preference between PMK or Pyrocat ? Those look quite a bit grainier than your usual work.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 <p><strong>Darin</strong>, I lean towards the PMK Pyro for no really good reason, other than a suspicion that Pyrocat produces slightly more contrasty image, and I try to keep contrast to a minimum. There's really very little between the two, in my experience. These images were shot on Arista EDU 100, which has quite a different grain from the FP4 or Kentmere 100 I usually use; it has "gritty", old-fashioned look that I rather like, but it's not to everyone's taste.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
