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.

[Beatle]

[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.....

My Girls:

They are ADORABLE!

First time I've visited this thread, some fantastic photos here. Thank you all!

[jacoavlu]

great work Cris. Those L lenses are special.

dizco, on the R4. My idea is you better be committed to the system if you're gonna invest too much money. The camera body is not so much important as the lens system… Are you sure you want to embark down the Leica R path? Of course there are adapters for other bodies, but is it worth it? Are you going to shoot film totally, or just for fun? The price of that camera plus lens is probably not bad for a piece just to have fun with.

[crisone]

Thanks again all…....

Yup, yup Mrs. G, they're my lovely's, Bri (top) is gonna be 4 in May, and Malia (bottom) is 17 months.

They're going to have to pry my original 5D from my cold dead hands.

i already got an 135/2.8 elmarit, and yep it's just for fun  :-*. i use canon and i also planning to buy 135/2 L so elmarit would be a surplus…that's why i need R body to pair with it  ;).
