Hi Hoppy,

Now I understand your comments, I was not an user of old Leica lenses,
everyone has his own taste and preferences on photography, the old Leica
lenses give a special mood different IMO to any other lens.

The 28 and an old camera has two advantages, probably many people don't
think it still runs!, I was on a table near the girl, I was looking
"distracting" on the VF ... and "click" the silent and warm Leica "click",
of course I have estimated focusing and light.

Next time you go with me and maybe we have the luck to share two beers with
two other ladies with beers.

Thanks again for your comments
Luis

Hi Luis, sorry I should write more clearly.
Firstly I meant that the images looked a little low contrast and with less
detail in the darker areas. But I am only seeing little versions on
photonet.
I understand what you said about the older lens. Many Leica folks prize the
look from the older lenses. So I will probably be thrown out of the LUG for
commenting!

Regarding the second question, I meant that the woman's hands behind the
bottle were a little distracting to me in the first photo.
But I know this is an un-posed photo. I do prefer the pose and the second
woman in the background.
I have to try to take some candid photos to learn. Thanks for the
inspiration. 
Also, you have very attractive beer drinkers in Espana.

Cheers
Hoppy

Hoppy,
These are my first trials and I recognize that of course this lens has not
the performances of the modern ones, maybe for this reason you appreciate a
certain loss of sharpness.

I'm sorry..., but I don't understand your final question.

Thanks for looking
Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis

Luis, these seem a little flat as reproduced via the small photonet files on
my monitor. Do you think this is influenced by the seniority of the glass
(uncoated???)The 28mm perspective seems very well managed (ie not
objectionable wide angle distortion to my eye).
Of the last two, the hand position seems a little distracting in the first?

Thanks
Hoppy

Hi all, saludos!
 
There's a certain time I have no posted any more pictures, I was too busy
with my work. Today I want submit to your opinion my first test with my
"new" toy, Hektor 6,3 / 2,8cm and the Leica IIIF, this makes a very compact
equipment. All these pictures are on Kodak T-MAX 400.
 
The folder is: http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=624372


 
 
I would appreciate you tell me also which one you prefer of these two:
