\nAnd now, for something different! I lent my Sony SLT-A77 and Sony Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 24mm F2.0 ZA SSM to a friend, who then lent me his Leica M6 TTL and Carl Zeiss Biogon T* 35mm F2.0 ZM.<\/p>\n


\nAll shots are at F2.0 unless otherwise specified. No color, contrast or brightness adjustments were done – I just did an Unsharp Mask with amount 90%, radius 0.3 pixels, threshold 3 levels, before resizing it.<\/p>\n

The film used was Agfa Vista ASA 400 color negative film.<\/p>\n


\nShot in the same area. You can see how it works under flourescent light – somewhat cool.<\/p>\n


\nUnder tungsten light. Not overly warm and seems to give milder colors.<\/p>\n


\nI am not going to credit the photographer who took this out-of-focus picture of me. Well at least you get to see the horrid brightline bokeh of the Zeiss Biogon 35mm F2.0…<\/p>\n


\nWell, it certainly doesn’t get all reddy like Kodak films do…<\/p>\n


\nI think I stopped down to F5.6 for this.<\/p>\n


\nThis was probably at F4.0.<\/p>\n


\nIndoors, with weak light.<\/p>\n


\nWhen I finished my first roll and was winding it, I thought I finished winding it and opened the bottom of the M6. Crap! The film was still out, and it was exposed to light, causing the light leak you see above!<\/p>\n

And I took longer to take her picture. I find it funny that I have to stop people and ask to take their picture, because I can’t focus a walking person fast enough on the M6.<\/p>\n


\nThis frame was probably more inside, thus getting a weaker light leak.<\/p>\n


\nWell, sometimes you get lucky with walking people… probably F4.0 or so.<\/p>\n


\nI had to underexpose, setting the shutter speed to 1\/30th of a second. Any slower and there’d be motion blur caused by the people moving.<\/p>\n


\nThis is a 100% crop. All the pictures were scanned into 2.4 megapixels so it’s not a terribly tight crop.<\/p>\n


\nAnd of course, I had to stop by the Leica Global Store at Avenue K, to try the beautiful Leica Noctilux-M 50mm F0.95 ASPH! This shot was at F0.95. Unfortunately the store was small so I couldn’t really get good subjects with the restrictive minimum focus distance of 1 meter.<\/p>\n


\nAlso at F0.95.<\/p>\n

More to come, this time from my favorite film – Fujifilm Superia X-TRA ASA400!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
