[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I photographed an Air Force graduating class today with a IIIf..3.5cm Summaron, and a R7 with a 50mm Summicron.. As expected the 50mm Summicron was tack sharp, however the 3.5cm on the IIIf photographs were rather soft.. The photograph was taken at 200 sec, f22, using Kodak Gold 200. Both photographs were printed in my lab using a Leitz V35 with color head. My question is: why was the IIIf photos so soft as to nearly appear pastel?? Thanks for any help;;;jh
