Looks great, very natural colours deang001

A macro lens on a rangefinder must be a new possibility pt for many, right?

it's not that new.

there was the visoflex and goggled options in the past. but you do know he is talking about the 50/2 ZM planar right? it's a 6/4 DG and closer to the 50/1.4 than the makro-planar.

Ronny, liked the 2nd flower shot. Did you need to remove something from the flower to shoot it like that or was it already like that?

This just sets the scene for a cult horror flick:

"Revenge of the Mutilated Flowers"

It have been awhile (moving to Norway took some time)... Lots of wonderful images here!

And here are few from Norway - little mining town of Røros (yeah - spring in Norway!)) :

Very nice Martynas.
Why did you move to Norway (if I may ask)?

Yes, fantastic b/w conversions.

Good to have you back Martynas! Great pics. What makes the little footprints on the rooftops?

Common! It was Santa Claus.
But what makes me wonder is their heating system; why chimneys are covered with snow or rocks? I don't think electricity is cheap in Europe, so what keeps them warm beside 'Finlandia Vodka'?

Fabulous images, Diploneis. I am curious about the shadows on the first two pictures; what time of a day did you take the shots?

It's not a heating oil!

Super nice you guys. Love the diversity of subject matter and the wide ranging locales in this thread.

No, I didn't know that, but now that you remind me I am.

I don't think the rocks would stop the smoke from exiting. Well, except maybe that first one. Possibly the fireplaces have been closed up and central heating added. The lids and rocks would stop it from snowing in.

Thank you all!

JochenB: family!

Taylor: I bet is him )) The only Norwegian I met on the streets )) -

Well with all this b/w, I need some colour

It is the photographer and post process skill, taste I have hard time to believe Lens and camera color.(unless we are talking old lens with faulty coating to today's standard) the keen eyes of photographer dominate the color and quality of his/her images more than anything else.

for example, for the same canikon or Leica file, C1 and LR4 could have totally different color basement.

So I don't take it as a religion change once people change platform no matter sony, canikon or Leica. Just my 2C.


edit: there might be difference in terms of profile between company, but hardly dominate compare to person behind it.
