Hey Guys and Grrrrlzzz
I went through most of this thread - glimpsing through the pictures... not reading a single bit...almost.
While watching, I have had a new favourite photographer, one I really admire and some I believe would be better of with a Leica-format Yashica.
Well this is my first forum entrance -and I just found this gorgeous site by accident, and already have learned a lot.
Making it short : me, analogue first, digital last - however i just bought the H3d2-39 with a HCD28 and HC80. But before working with those and showing off most of "who cares pictures", I will just let you know that I am in favour of analogue still.
I noticed that Guy wrote about a lens that it was tack-sharp wide open, and bokeh / unsharpness started at the ear (a portrait model photographed at page 50 something )
Well .... True
But working analogue, I encourage you guys and grrrrlzzzz - remember Jamin, Darlot ...before Tessar lenses ruined it all
Back in the days of Julia Margaret Cameron - lenses had different performance and feel .... and I would like you to go back for a while.... Glooge her up...
Photography is about seeing and observing - an in many cases Deception, well capture is the least bit as you might already know whether analogue or digital....but working with the old techniques still, while having one of the best MF digital and DSLR´s around - I keep coming back to analogue.... what about you guys and Grr.....?
I know I really could not live without digital - and will of course get rid of my Canon-**** just when I get settled with the H3 - but analogue is still a true performer for me.
When that H3-thing happends I will work both H3, Bromoil, Cyanotype, Linhof, Diana F, Sinar, Jamin, Darlot, Kodak Portrait lens and Heliars
Well this pretty much sums up my views on photography - I have both options still, whether it be H3 or Polaroid Type 55
Just my thoughts - after watching a great gallery...Your Gallery :toocool:
