Thanks all for your advice. I have contacted the repairshop and believe it can be worked out.

I recently had a 50mm f2 Summicron SMT collapsible lens CLA'd due to

it having a very stiff focusing mount. Upon return, the lens was

just as stiff if not more so. The glass was perfect as was

everything else but the focusing. It is so stiff that it unscrews

from my IIIF when I try to focus it. So, I am looking for one of two

things.

 

1. Where can I get it be repaired? There is no apparent physical

damage to the focusing mount (no dings, dents, etc)?

2. Another lens of this same type with a smooth focusing mount in

reasonably good physical condition and good glass.

 

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Ft. Worth built a very nice and quite large new facility for their modern art collection. I believe it does contain what used to be in the old MMA across from the Museum of Western Art. The new museum is across from the Kimball.

Michael,

 

Your response and those of the others were exactly what I was looking for. Good, solid critiques. They are much appreciated.

I really appreciate the comments and agree that the pose is very un-natural. I have done some portrait studio work under controlled conditions, but working outside is very new to me. Here's another pose shot at the same time, but a little more relaxed. Thanks again for your comments.<div></div>

I would appreciate your comments, critique, etc. Bessa R2, V/C

90mm. 1/60 @ f4. Delta 100, D76 1:1<div></div>

Another choice would be the Nikkor f3.5 13.5cm Q. I bought one on eBay and it works well with both my IIIf and Bessa R2.

I meant to add that the Delta 100 was souped in D-76 1:1 @ 68F for 8.5 minutes. Scanned with a Minolta DiMAGE 5400.

I recently rejoined the world of photography after an absence of 15

years or so. My images seem to be a lot grainer than many I see

posted here. Is the grain in this image acceptable?<div></div>

I have recently gotten back into photography after about 15 years.

This is an Ilford Delta 100 image souped in D-76 1:1. Is the grain

acceptable? My photos look a lot grainer than images I see in this

forum.

I recently purchased a thread mount 90mm f4 Elmar Nr. 1035766. I am

curious as to when this lens was manufactured and how it rates in

contrast and sharpness with more modern Leica offerings. This sample

seems to be pretty soft at f4, but begins to crisp up a little around

f8.
