[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I had pegged a good 50/3.5 Elmar, but the owner accidentally mailed it off
to someone who hadn't bought it(!). Why doesn't that ever happen to me?
I'll give the fellow you cite a try. Thanks, Bill!

The 50/3.5 Heliar is good, as is the 35/2.8 Summaron. I'm currently
playing with the 50/1.5 Zeiss Sonnar, and hope to acquire a clean 50/3.5
Elmar. It seems that the simpler esigns from 50 years ago are doing the
trick. I also have a 50/2 collapsible Summicron that I think should have
some potential.
Another way that I'm getting more of the classic look is developing older
formula films with PMK Pyro developer. That may even be more of an influence
than the lenses. In lenses, what I'm looking for is higher resolution and
lower contrast. I believe that Erwin Puts almost puts resolution and
contrast as mutually exlusive (ya can' have both, so take your pick). I'm
shooting for high res and lower contrast.

I recall you were looking for a lens to give you classic look in B+W, but I
failed to see if you settled on something and have pleasing results. Can you
tell me? 'Sorry if it's redundant.

Feli was also seen climbing trees in the 9th Ward. I though I had a shot of
him arboreally, but cannot find it. There must be a roll of undeveloped film
(I think I may have it on Provia).

Feli,
You really got into those photos! Standing on the roof? Brave.
If only we could get everyone down there to see what still needs to be done.
I was told at PMA that even the President of Leica went down to help out for
a week with his family.
