2011 in Black and White with the Kiev88 (lots of pictures!)

[dkphoto]

Hey,

as promised in my "2011 Leica Black and White Thread" ( http://rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114346 ), here are my 2011 Kiev88 pictures.
I hope they are not too large and you don't have a small monitor ;-)

All shot with the Volna 80/2.8 on TriX 400 (some pushed to 800 and 1600)

Hope you enjoy them 🙂

Wahhh, great photos, Ruskie camera can be hit or miss, but when they in good working order can give amazing pictures.

Very nice photos!

Great photos once again - I also quite like the rendering of that lens (which I haven't heard of before) !

 

[Rezultz]

Wow. Didn't know the Kiev88 could do this. Wonderful photos.

The Volna 80/2.8 is the "Kit" Lens of the Kiev88.
Small and cheap.

I also enjoyed these photos, especially the above pier and the ladder. Mighty fine

Great work with the Kiev-88. My camera just need to shoot again...

 

[randomm]

Nice work you have. I'd love to give the Kiev88 CM a go at some point myself!

Excellent work

Hey man why is it so grainy?

 

[pggunn]

Man, these are good!

Big Thanks again @ everyone for your kind words 🙂

Hey man why is it so grainy?

Because it's TriX in Rodinal 1+50 and some of the images are pushed to 800 or even 1600 😉

Excellent photographs from (I think) a little stroll with a camera. It takes a good eye to enhance common everyday objects and things to memorable results.
I am very inspired from this series.

Wauv great.
You just gave me back my motivation, thank you

Wonderful work! That Volna is a very underrated lens - and fast for medium format. It won't win any silly resolution tests but it just renders a pleasing image. When I had a Kiev 60, I did prefer the Zeiss Jena 80 - but only by a hair, and I wonder how much of that preference was due to the "Zeiss" name on the lens. Nothing tops medium format film. Just beautiful. Great work!

Yep, the Volna is great. Mine is a little bit buggy, but still a cool lens, though.
