32 Years Ago

[doubs43]

I've just posted five pictures from one roll of film that I took in Germany and Spain during December, 1972 and January, 1973. The camera was a Leica IIIf that I still own and the film was Ilford HP-4 rated as ASA/ISO 400, developed in straight D-76 for 7 1/2 minutes at 68 degrees F.

Just as I would have done if I had printed the pictures on paper, I've cropped and worked with the images a little.

Please have a look at them in the Gallery under the name "doubs43".

I've added another picture from the same roll of film to this message. It's another vendor at the flea market in Frankfurt, Winter 1972-73.

very cool!

i really like moments alone, especially the grain.

i can't wait to get a film scanner so i can vary the films i use and do my own development.

Very Nice; the Summitar and 9cm Elmar look quite sharp.

I suspect that 21st century comments that these lenses are soft are due to using the lenses without proper CLA. These shots are sharp and contrasty. A little bit of internal haze would mes that up.
