This lens is amazing and I only paid $100 for it. Not as sharp as modern lenses but this old Zeiss knock off design has a lot of character. Small and very light to.

Edward,
I really like your film work. If I may, what is your processing/scanning/digital workflow? I have an M7 as well, and am looking for good scans...
Thanks,
David

Thank you David! It’s actually very simple. I have my film developed at a pro lab, then scan it at home with a Nikon Coolscan V at default settings and save as 16 bit Tiff. These are my “raw” files that I slightly enhance in adobe camera raw.

Werner - that last Icelandic photo was even better than your usual high standard.
Edward - those student-function (film fair) photos are really atmospheric and I do like the neon dumpsters!
Allen - loved the bokeh ball Santa shot with your Jupiter-8. A Jupiter-8 was my 2nd ever rangefinder lens and I continue to use it occasionally. Your shot induced me to take the shot below earlier today. The RF frame was quite inaccurate when shooting at MFD. The lens EXIF comes up as a Summilux due to the 6-bit coding on my LTM-LM adapter (usually fitted to my 'Japanese Summilux').
Pigface (purple-flowered succulent) and Blue Rose Echeveria with 'blossom-stalk'
The same subject but with the 35 f/2.8 Jupiter-12, also at f4
Jupiter-12 (35mm f/2.8) at f4 and near to MFD, Leica M8.2

Now I have the new PacificImages PrimeFilm XAs super edition, which is supposed to have really good quality. Reluctant to buy another Nikon scanner due to longevity, mirror dust cleaning, etc.
There is a new app that shows promise: negativelabpro.com but it is based upon DSLR scanning. The developer is very cooperative, and is working with the scanner crowd. Also there is a good Photoshop action: http://eigakai.ro/ps-action/cn-scan-inversion that does a nice job.
My problem has always been the scanning...

I have the primefilm XE, and I really don’t like the output. It’s very weak in high density areas, slide film shadows and negative film highlights. I hear the S version is improved. How do you like the XA output compared to the Coolscan V? I too have concerns about mirror cleaning and other potential longevity issues.

For her birthday, my wife wanted to take her mom out apple picking (as it's something they loved to do together growing up) so we made the trek out to a popular orchard out here and while I was there I decided to shoot some film to document the day. All shots on Portra 400.

I only just got the scanner, and my M7. Don’t have any film back yet.
Tried some old negatives from 2016 and was really not impressed - but VueScan does not completely work with this scanner yet, and I will have a roll from the M7 tomorrow. Will post results here...

Thanks! I use my local lab for my development and I do the scanning myself here at home. I use a Coolscan 4000 ED scanning into the original Nikonscan software running via an old PowerBook G4 that I have set up as my scanning rig.
I scan as big and flat as I can to the native .NEF format, then I convert those files to DNGs when I import to Lightroom, I usually do some light adjustments and cropping to remove the borders.
Hope that helps some!

Thanks! See my posts above. Trying to come up with something equal or better than the Coolscan, due to longevity and cleaning issues. should have better info this week or so. Will actually post some images here!
