I am in a subjective, non-tech camera testing mode here

I didn't think I'd shoot today in such fog but I was inspired by a recent shot of Graham's and took the above.

That view almost made me cry

 

[Steen]

yeah, somebody move that helicopter out of the way

 

[AlexLF]

I have a pic without the helicopter but this one has its own originality

 

[Steen]

yes, you're probably right, Alex, it adds to the artistic nerve in a scenery if you have sort of an Alligator in the corner of your photograph .-)

some say you can even do with a Chihuahua if you have no Alligator at hand: http://www.getdpi.com/forum/leica/11260-what-wrong-shot-[m8].html#post148815

I saw a movie once, must have been during the seventies or thereabouts, named Elektra after the old Greek myth. The whole, rather long, movie was done in something like five or seven takes, and in the end, a large, orange Sikorsky helicopter enters the scene.

Your helicopter is perfectly positioned, Alex, but original, it is not :ROTFL:

 

[AlexLF]

Fine with me

What is that?, asked my youngest son. What do you think?
Lightning connector, he said.

No light and shade/s, I said.

Mom really needs to get back soon, he murmured as he walked away shaking his head.

The Df went to work. Boring images, but hey, I have to make sure it earns its keep..

I had to go into the house store room, move heavy luggage to find out where my old Ais lenses were discarded by my wife.

I found one..a dog of a lens at that. The notoriously unloved 85/2 Ais. But it is small, superb focussing ring, high contrast, and sharp stopped down.

But how would it perform on the Df..could I use it or it goes back in the dump? The jury is still out. Now if I could find my 50/1.2 Ais; I shall keep on looking.

jpg, sooc with mono setting, some 100% crop, no pp...

Known for the most atrocious oof rendering, this one has languished in the shadows of its better known cousins.

I got this one cheap in Tokyo in the early 70s, along with a Nikon Photomic..

Maybe I could return it and get a Noct-Nikkor, as a trade-in

 

[rayyan]

Yes, I know..flowers cats and dogs...

Harsh sunlight....

 

[rayyan]

How would the Df's sensor perform as to the dynamic range..and with a contrast lens...

100% crop.
