Canon LTM Canon 50/1.5 - colour film recommendations

[monochromejrnl]

I've rarely used the Canon 50/1.5 Sonnar copy with colour negative film because I much prefer B&W generally and found results from most of the colour work to be poorly saturated...

I recently shot a roll of Fuji 400H (pulled by 1.5 stops - mentally rated at 100) with the 50/1.5 and my 35 Summicron v3 and was favourable impressed by the warmer colours.

top two images shot with 50/1.5 and the bottom two with the 35 summicron v3 (prefer the image quality of the Canon to the Summicron for people as well as the warm colour tones of the Canon with Fuji 400H)

Anyone else had luck with certain colour negative film that you'd like to share? Thanks in advance.

Love the second shot! The color looks much warmer than the other three though.

Pretty good sharpness and contrast coming from such an old lens. I'm getting one soon and perhaps I post some pictures taken with it after the lens arrives.

Cheers,

I'm partial to Portra 400NC w/ the Canon 50/1.5:

In fact, I'm partial to it in general...

Fuji ASA100 with the Canon F1.5 on a 1945 Leica IIIC K - I get "vintage" colors out of it with little effort, I have a late production one from 1956, I LOVE this lens!

I prefer Fuji films over Kodak, cept when it comes down to Slide though then it`s Ektachrome and Good Ole' Kodachrome, but that`s another story......
