I would be happy to try an M262...there's a reference I could make to Edward's posts but better not!
I called on an old friend today. He and his father are obsessed with older Honda motorbikes, many of which are trail-bikes. He has some finished restorations too.
These are all taken with a Voigtländer Nokton 35 f/1.2 Mk I on my M9
Well Edward you asked for comment(s), so here goes!
I'm in love with Annette (the girl in the first one, right)?
I think you have severe colour balance issues in photos 3 and 4, what the hell have you done with the settings in your fancy schmancy 262?
Seriously though, these are more of the quality of shots that I associate with you in this thread. My early browsing of this thread has strong memories of the images you posted of workers and travellers on the Thai rail system for example.
I'll be unable to post M9 images for the next 4-5 weeks, after tomorrow. Travelling light-ish, so no tablet, laptop or other devices to transfer images from camera.
I will continue to browse and comment, using the widescreen experience that is an iPhone6. This remains the best thread on FM.
Great stuff, everybody
Edward, two exceptional sets, that BW with the hat, yes
Allen, fantastic with the ads and the people,
Jon, Beautiful bridge
Huss, lovely shot M7
Gary, you are very good with the dumpsters, even better than those outhouses
I was sucking at photography today, more than usual nevertheless:
Took some shots at different ISO/ASA numbers with Ilford XP2 400 film which I then developed with C-41 process at home. Digitized with Plustek 8200i Ai scanner at 3600 ppi. I was surprised how well everything came out even if some of the photos was pushed 2 stops (ISO 1600). I took them all with my Leica M7.
I took this picture in early 1965. We were driving a VW beetle in the Karamoja district of Uganda, towards Moroto. Half an hour earlier, going round a bend, we saw a group of Karamojong men on a small hill next to the road. When they saw me they threw down their long spears and ran off — Karamojong were forbidden to carry spears and they probably thought I was a District Officer. We then came upon this small group of Karamojong women resting in the shade. We stopped but coulee not communicate with them, as they did not speak "up-country Kiswahili", which was the lingua franca of Karamoja. The Karamojong are an ethnic group related to the Turkana in Kenya.
