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

[ggibson]

The prior post was a local lab's scan. For whatever reason, their colors were way off on the white balance. Here's my take, scanned with the Sony A7IV and Sigma 70/2.8 Macro. Detail is about the same, but mine is also properly centered (theirs had cropped the left side a bit).

My last day on active duty as a driver at the Museum Buurtspoorweg in Haaksbergen (Netherlands), oktober 1992. Had duty that day on #4, the engine on the far left.

I may be wrong,but that looks very much like Utah rt 95, just north of the Colorado river bridge.

It's from a trip we took in 1982 so forgot where it was exactly taken, but looking at the other photos on the roll it was along the road between Death Valley and Bryce Canyon, so you're probably right since rt 95 is part of that way.

That's looking east from the first switchback west of the tunnel on Highway 9 in Zion National Park.

Well, I’m back.

The water in the deep end of the pool is fine, so come on and jump in!

I started a B&W film project four weeks ago, and it is the second such project (the first was in 2022), where I did an extensive comparison of camera, lens, film, and developers. This second comparison is now known as “The 2025 Great B&W Film & Developer Experiment”. In this comparison I am using the Leica M2 with the 50 Summilux, various films and developers alongside my Nikon F100 and Nikkormat FTN.

I will begin posting a few images as I am now almost caught up with developing, scanning and processing.

So, from a walkabout a week ago in downtown Newnan, I was happy to get out in warmer weather and just walk, look and shoot. What a great thing to do. And I’ve been doing a lot of that lately.

Well, what can I say? … from a morning walk around the square.

One of my many interests… British motorcars, especially vintage/classic sports cars.
