Beautiful!
Artist Palette | MAX | IQ3100 | F-Distagon T* 30mm F3.5 CFi
The Contax is a great camera, but I agree with your mother. The viewfinder I found uncomfortable to use. I ended up with a Konica Hexar Silver, which had a really nice viewfinder.Thanks & Noooooo, it is such a lovely cam. Bought new by me, actually it was a 50th birthday gift for my mom (she is 74 this year), but she never liked the viewfinder so I 'stole' it back within months. :grin:
No LCC or other color correction at all, if you pay attention to the very edge of the forground, you will see the circular distortion of the fisheye lens. I actually wanted this distortion look on the edges since I always see the Artist Palette more of an Artist’s Heart than a palette. The “heart” center of the palette has no significant visual translated distortion. Additional info please see my response to Dan on the next page below:Stunning colors! Really nice shot. Did you correct the fisheye in post, or is it not visible due to crop factor?
Hi Dan, I don’t remember the exact amount but the photo presented above was a 2 vertical IQ3100 sensor images stitched together. This essentially is a full image circle that the lens was meant to render on the full square format film. I think from this information you can calculate how much the actual functional shift was done.Beautiful!
May I ask what you think of the Cfi30 ? How much can you shift?
Nice shot, it looks a bit more used than the Contax but it carries those blemishes with honourAnother old favourite! (Dusty though)

I just put them straight onto the kitchen worktop, black granite and ambient light from the window. The simplest of simpleNice shot, it looks a bit more used than the Contax but it carries those blemishes with honour
Did you put it on a mirror or just a nice polished black surface? I know you can also achieve such an effect in photoshop but this looks more genuine (or is extremely well done)
After seeing your contax shot I decided to try something similar with my M2 once it's back from CLA (whenever that may be, I hope the guy who's doing the work can continue during the current crisis).
Also because I wanted to shoot some more FP4+ I dove in my attic today and recovered my OM4T, not such a classic as the OM2 but very much the same DNA. Took 21 shots today and hope to finish the roll over the weekend (we're still allowed to go out as long as we keep a safe distance from people who don't live in our "silo"). I must say I enjoyed the experience and the camera still seems to work well. After the first few shots it started to become more familiar, allthough the split image/microprism focussing screen took a bit longer to get used to.
Are you still using yours? If not maybe now during this period when we all have more time it's a good idea to load it up and do a little trip down nostalgia lane
I agree, my dad had an OM2 that he unfortunately sold. The OM1 and OM2 were really the "godfathers" of the OM line, even up to some of the digital models today. However I was shooting a lot of slide film those days and thought that a spot meter was a "must have" :loco:, so I first got an OM2SP (still got it as well) that was a nice camera but battery drain while being not used was terrible, a pair of batteries lasted 2-3 weeks and then they were flat, so I got a OM4T which is much better in that regard. Wether I really "needed" the spot meter is a question, but I did use it a lot.I actually have had an OM4 as well, but the OM2 is more pure in my opinion and my own preference.
Marco,I realised I had to fine tune/shim the Cambo Wide DS rear interface for my back. I could not reach perfect infinity focus.
It was a long, boring trial and error work. Finally it seems I have nailed it. Hope this will last long enough.
From a new series called "Hybrids".
Thanks for watching.
Wow, that's a nice set Jürgen, almost complete at f2 and then the 55/1.2 to boot. I only have one f2 lens, the 85 mm but that's a real favourite of mine. Most of my others are from the f2.8 series (and still looking for a nice 35 mm, f2 or f2.8).Dan , I have some lenses for you and your OLYMPUS.
Yes , Pieter , special customizing .Wow, that's a nice set Jürgen, almost complete at f2 and then the 55/1.2 to boot. I only have one f2 lens, the 85 mm but that's a real favourite of mine. Most of my others are from the f2.8 series (and still looking for a nice 35 mm, f2 or f2.8).
I've never seen these "chrome" fronts, was that some kind of special edition?
