One last little "village perche'" before we head home.

I really like the strong sense of enveloping light in these.

If you can, test the lenses before you buy.
Unless you're going for a certain "esthetic" in your camera equipment, maybe you could broaden your search to include more modern glass?
During the 1950's and into the 1960's Linhof tested lenses and picked the best.
Why? Because, other than Nippon Kogaku (Nikon) and Kodak, commercial lens manufacturers didn't always "grade" their...
Thank you, Rob. It's hard to "miss" a good shot when the subject matter is so brilliant. :)
I think you're right about the light. Maybe the humidity is similar, being next to large bodies of water and the way light seems to "seep" into everything and everywhere? :)
Tuscany feels...
... well... it's been forever since I've posted anything to LF Forum... so... why not work on alleviating the boredom?

Vieux Nice...
I enjoy the complexity of the first image. All those lines and the hint of razorwire down in the right hand corner. And, of course, the flag hanging from the crane anchors the scene.
The second...
I think the image "works" in the sense the converging verticals "feel" natural enough to not be distracting nor confusing. Well, to me, at least.
Oh, Ken. This is glorious! And that sculpture in person is more glorious that I could ever imagine. I still like Winged Victory more than the more famous Venus de Milo and can't wait for the...
L’église Saint-Germain-des-Prés is sure an interesting place, isn't it? With histories layered upon histories upon even more histories.
Gorgeous work, this.
:)
Peter,
Those may have been taken with a mobile phone, but good golly Miss Molly a person can sure tell you have an outstanding artist's eye. I feel this is very nice work. Well done! And I'll...
Modest, I'll say!
I picked one up for 7Euro. If you don't mind software correcting for the distortions on the short end of the focal length range _and_ stopping down a click or two for maximum...

I LOVE how certain commercial lens manufacturers control their lenses out of focus rendition.
It looks like your process has been refined to the point of absolute beauty. Well done, this.
Wow. Very nice, indeed.
Fabulous!!!
Lovely work, this.
Indeed. I think this works.
Ken,
I think you're getting the hang of this right nicely.
Ken,
Indeed. There is a serious richness about sliding the values down the scale a bit. Nicely done, this.
It's often useful to learn from the masters. :-) :-) :-)
So I see. Well, I think you're on to something, there. I look forward to seeing what you next do with this.
Beautifully done, this. I like how you've placed the tones deeply down the scale.
I haven't followed along. Have you shared your design process and/or implementation? It looks like you've achieved a pretty nice effect.
Beautifully done, Ken.
I'll admit to being, perhaps, the Slow One in the group. But if you haven't already seen them, Guttenburg.org has three electronic books from 1920 to 1922 that were originally produced by Clarence...
I had a Jupiter 9 like our's. Mine was surprisingly soft wide open. But stopped down it equaled anything made in the West. It's long gone as I thought I _needed_ something sharp wide open and a...
Jupiter 9 works even on American aircraft, eh? :) :) :)
Which version do you use? The old all chrome or newer all black?
Beautifully done, Ken. As always. ;-)
