The Definitive Sony B&W Images Thread

Two White Swans. Last time I saw them was about 30 years ago.

Sony A6000M Voigtlander APO Lanthar 50/2
This was my first monochrome converted camera. Still works well, but now I also have a Pentax DSLR Mono and Pixii Rangefinder. Time to let a couple of them go.

Warming up for our upcoming trip to Skye I reviewed my photos from 2019, I think this one works quite well in B&W.

Rain and fog at Ross Farm. I didn't want to change lenses, so these were all shot with the Sigma 65mm f/2 on my A72.

Excellent series, the mood and weather really make these shine in B&W.
And I find going out with just one focal length is helping my creativity and "seeing" good subjects for that specific lens. I can only assume you were pretty happy with the results you came home with that day, at least I would have been.

Thank-you. I frequently go out with just a single prime. I did take a 35mm f/2 with me to the farm as well, but ended up stitching multiple shots from the 65mm when needed (the last image, for example). I know it's just psychological, but one of the things I like about the 65mm is that paired with the .71x magnification of the A7ii's viewfinder, objects appear pretty much the same distance away as they do to the naked eye. So when I raise the camera to my eye, my perspective stays the same.
