Casual M6/Zeiss Biogon Photos...

[David_Manning]

Thought I'd share these two recent shots of my daughter Skylar fishing in Florida last week. She didn't catch anything, but we had nice father-daughter time together.

M6 classic, Zeiss 35/2 Biogon, Kodak BW400CN, Walmart scans (!)...

classic zeiss look. i hate to say it, because so many have said it before, but yes there's that "3D" feel, esp #1. nice combo, the biogon and the BW400CN, i think.

thanks for sharing.

Very nice indeed. The Zeiss 35mm is a beautiful lens and marries nicely with the Leica.
Thanks for the posting.

I forgot to mention that I shot both at 200ISO. I've been successfully changing ISOs on the fly with this film, from 200-800 with great success. The flexibility has really made it my go-to film for day-to-day shooting with the M6.

By the way, found this on NYTimes Lens blog. The shooter is using a Leica and 35mm lens. Proves once again that simple is not always bad.

Thanks for the looks and commentary. Where the heck are my manners?

The second one is wonderful! The first one is very good too! (IMHO it would benefit from a tighter crop, less sky on top)

The fun you two had fishing together really shows in the pics!

So, you rated it at 200-800 and got it developed normally at walmart? I'm using the same film for day to day shooting also and it's been good so far.

Awesome pictures by the way

Thanks again everybody.

Roberto, yes, I rated it between 200-800 ISO during shooting and just processed normally at Walmart. I'm sure their scanner/printer compensated (just as I would during printing). This emulsion gets very contrasty at 800 though. It's best at 200, which is what these pictures were exposed at.

Nice, I'll try that after I run out of Plus-x. Thanks for the tip.
