Photograph and Camera talk

[guillaume]

noooo. for tele photo work use your legs.

[jacoavlu]

Understood.
What's that saying, if your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough?
When I said tele, suppose I should have said candid portrait.
Love the bokeh the 85/2 can make, love it with my kids, not too tight but don't have to be in their face. And the lens is very compact, not much bigger than a 50 Summicron.
The combo of an M + 35mm and SLR + 85mm handles everything.

@jacoavlu:

as long as we're sharing…

What a beauty. Love the brassing!

Since I sold my M8, this has been my everyday-camera:

I'll guess I have to wake up these 2 beauties from their spell of ten years…

gotta go and get them fixed again.

loghill - like that M6, and the 50 DR is a great lens. superb on b&w.
foxy - a nice pair you got there, I had a 35 SE once, had fun with it, still can't believe how compact those old Rollei's are

Thanks!
They were pretty much all I ever needed before digital came along. Way back then I even did some of the lab work myself…

It was only about 5 years ago I discovered how easy and satisfying it was to develop my own black and white film. Just wish I had more time for it.

Tri-x souped in Rodinal, can't beat that for me.

[bertoni]

AMAZING shots Cris…makes me want to have a go. What equipment gets results like that?

[crisone]

Thanks all…..

Beats, yeah, that was basically my first shot taken when I got my 5D.

Bertoni, as in the pic Beats is talking about, I edited in Photoshop, basically using the Sharpen and Shadow/Highlights....people actually thought I HDR'd it. But all was shot with my Canon 5D (Full-frame) and Canon "L" Lenses.

A bit more.....
