All WO, I did nothing extra try to improve the contrast or clarity other than maybe even pull them back minus 10~20 to maintain the look. I personally love the look it gives me.
Nice 'lost in the moment shots'. With the 35 Summilux glowiness - I call it the 'soapy look', I prefer it with tones in black and white film I think but it can be nice, a little like a pencil drawing over a picture when in colour? It's a real mixed bag of a lens I find, I tend to use it stopped down as a very similar companion to the 50 Summicron Rigid
The first shot was wide open or close to with Ektar with mine.
Unrelated (and with 28 Summicron) - Unusually for me, I actually asked to take this guy's picture, the hats 'made me.'
Of course then I chopped off his feet and didn't get quite close enough but here he is anyway.
Here's one on Portra 160 with my MP and the Zeiss C-Sonnar which I just sold hastily (shouldn't have done that). I'm basically trying out every 50mm I can get my hands on.
The camera manufacturer Leica has to look for a new boss. The Chairman of the Board, Oliver Kaltner, had decided not to extend his term of office beyond 31 August 2017, a company spokeswoman said on Tuesday in Wetzlar. His decision was based "on other plans that I would like to pursue," declared Kaltner. Until the end of August, he would be "available in full" as the executive committee of Leica Camera AG. Kaltner had taken the position of head of the traditional company in April 2015.
Kaltner, a former Microsoft manager, had been at Leica since autumn 2014 and since April 2015 at the head office. The company said on Tuesday the Supervisory Board was dissatisfied with Kaltner's style of leadership. He had run the small camera manufacturer like a large corporation. He had not succeeded in "taking the employees with him".
Leica intends to comment on the succession at a later date. According to information provided by the German Press Agency, the present Supervisory Board Chairman, Andreas Kaufmann, is to take over the presidency of the Board of Managing Directors.
Well I just missed his iris with my TE WO M9 "eye-AF", but I did catch her twice, in eye focus, if in disguise
It's supposed to have a fragile camera RF calibration (M9), I'm always reading how the 240 stays "in" better, and guys are sending in their M9s once a year. But I seemed to have battered mine into perfect alignment. He'd never made a RF shot in his life, and got me pretty good too
Here's one with my MP and the Konica UC-Hexanon 35mm f/2 on HP5. I love the way the lens renders and handles, though I do wish it was a .7m MFD instead of .9m but that's a pretty small complaint.
