a typical bachelor or the zeiss ikon saga

I think you need me to hook you up with some classic Zeiss Ikon Contaxes to improve your avatar :)

If you're a bachelor, what's to hold you back? :D

Is it THAT noticeable, lol ! :p

Btw, which lighting are you using for these shots ? Both your previous one (3p) and this look really nice with that golden touch.

the lighting could not be more simple.
i have a 100 watt household bulb in a small aluminum reflector that i handhold and move about.
the digicam is on a tripod as i move the light and then take a shot. i just keep changing the light's position till i like it. i try to feather the light as best i can so it's not too intense.

so, tell us about the new lady...:)

Joe, a true gentleman avoids talking about that... :rolleyes:

The lighting looks way cool, as usual, simpler is better !

Time to reach my bed now, I need to plug in my chargers...
 
Do you have any pics yet with the Ikon/35mm Zeiss M lens? How is the lens? I bet it's sharp as Hell. :cool:
 
i have only one roll so far and it is not processed yet.
i went out today and took only a few weak shots.
the ae was throwing me and i started to get frustrated.
 
Does your silver Ikon have an AE lock button on the back like my black professional Bessa R3A? This works well.
 
I know what you mean. I'm the same way with built-in meters. However, I like the kind which doesn't require a battery like my old Vitomatic 11. I have the 11b now but I need a filter and more so a hood. I used to have a good hand-metre but it dissapeared. I used to use it for night photography. I guess I'll have to get another one. Anyways, I find AE useful, especially for quick shots.
