Camera and Coffee

Yeah, it's from the 50's. Has a Rodenstock lens which is supposed to be wonderful. Like I said, they don't make film for it anymore, so I have see what it can do for sure. I'm planning on getting it converted to 4x5 in the near future.

OK, take two! Hopefully there won't be another crash.

Polaroid 110a & coffee. Beautiful camera. Too bad they don't make film for it anymore. ):

I have that same camera.
 
I have a 110 (not the A or B variants) which I found out later is much, much more difficult to convert to pack film. Grrr.

Yes, thanks Martin (although they devour adult-sized portions of sushi)

I was wondering the same thing Paul. Either the ZM35/2 or the Summicron 50/2. Whichever, at f/2. I had to stand up and take a step back - I'll see if I can recreate the situation...OK, it pretty much has to have been the ZM35/2.

edit: Oops! On the M3 that is, of course, the Summilux 75. The ZM35/2 was on the M7 that took the picture. :) See! I can read.

I have started a project consisting in photographing the daily italian ritual of taking a coffee at the bar, entiltled "Caffè a Milano". The camera(s) will show up there sooner or later - I just wanted to show you a couple for pointing to some technical aspects.
The photo which initiates the series has been shot with the CV 35/1.2 Nokton wide open - this lens is capable of rendering the bokeh in a spectacular way indeed.

The second one instead, is taken on the new Provia 400x - not a bad film at all...

Good luck with the project. I was going to ask whether you didn't think that B&W might be better for this project - but now, looking at the spectacular colours of the first shot, I'm not so sure.

Yes, it's a camera!

Yes it's a camera! I could n't resist slipping this into the C&C thread. I'm afraid the coffee shop is out of shot they do a very pleasant danish pastry too.

Yes, you've obviously guessed it. It's the camera obscura on Constitution Hill, Aberystwith a fascinating example of victorian technology.

An outing to Bexhill, only to discover that the annual motor show is only a tiny shadow of the roaring, snarling monsfer event it used to be.
