How about more and more fun with Leica M? (Film)

[iiiNelson]

The film bug is a hard one to get rid of. I'm looking forward to having you join us, HiredArm. You can help breathe some new life into this thread.

LOL... All of you enablers...

Ken, I like the way that my eye is drawn into the photo by "Double Yellow" and am so intrigued by what is "shiny". Nice tones on both. That little CLE does a great job in your hands.

I'm just scanning a roll of Portra 400 tonight. The first one is converted to b&w with an Ascough action in CS5.

No, I used Portra 400, it is a really nice film. I scanned with Viewscan to collect the most data. I used my Barnack Leitz iiig and a modern CV 35mm lens for the taking.

Cindy, two excellent shots with the iiig. Very nice! I'm curious to try one of these iii series cameras someday.

I haven't posted on this thread for awhile, but here's a few from my outing out with Steve (shtarka1) last week.
M6 TTL with either 35Lux ASPH or 50Lux ASPH. Legacy Pro 100 in either DDX1+4 or Rodinal 1+50. Scanned with Plustek 7600i.

Thanks for looking,
Joe

and some fun shots of the other shooters

Nice work, Joe. Say, Steve looks good even on film.

 

[Cindy Flood]

Oh, man, Joe. Tell me it is that Legacy film that gives the great look to these images (and not those two killer ASPH lenses). I had a hard time picking a favorite, but I'd have to say it would be the image with the bench and the man in the suit.

My iiig is a real pleasure to shoot with. I hope you give one a try.

Thanks Lloyd & Cindy

Lloyd, you always have a good punch line!
Cindy, its probably a combination of the LPro100, lenses, some pp with SEP2 and some USM sharpening for the web
I'll definitely be on a lookout for a iiig, I'm only slightly worried that I may not be able to load film properly.

Great Set Joe! Thanks Lloyd! Joe, Next Time You Take A Profile Shot Of Me I'll Let You Borrow The 21 Lux To Fit That Jimmy Durante Shnozz In The Picture Better!

Whew, glad you didn't say that I needed those lenses. (Probably wouldn't help me anyhow.):ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:

Loading the iiig is not hard at all. I made a template out of cardboard and covered it with clear packing tape. I cut the leaders on a couple rolls ahead of time, and put them in my bag. I have had no problems loading once the leader is trimmed. Leica made a metal template at one time, but those have become pricey...and my home-made template works fine. You really don't need the template if you have a steady hand and count the sprocket holes....but it makes cutting them easy.

Hmm... I tried counting the sprocket holes when cutting for my IIIc. Didn't work out. They all came out black. (I probably shouldn't have counted the whole roll, right? )

Hmmm, Lloyd. I guess that isn't working out for you...there may be no hope. For the rest, this link at RFF might be of interest. http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22421&highlight=loading+barnack

We went to Dragon boat races at Sheboygan yesterday. The sun was super harsh, but I couldn't resist a couple of snaps with M6, VC 35 f/1.2 and Ektar 100.

Lovely photos, Dan. B&W still looks better on film.

 

[Cindy Flood]

These look wonderful, Dan. I love the black and white tones. Congrats on the new camera. I love the framing in the photo of Peg.
