Crazy about the Planar 50mm - pics thread

[d__b]

Well, it's a bit embarassing, but I don't actually develop them myself. I gave them to a lab here in Berlin. I want to learn to develop my own B&W one day but haven't gotten around to it yet. I "scan" the developed negatives with my Nex 5 and macro lens, and edit them in Photoshop. In this case I also used Snapseed's drama effect which gives it this amazing tonality.

the colour, the sharpness, the bokeh... there's nothing not to love about this lens

Love those last 2. The M8 looks stellar for monochrome!

Thank you!

The M8, for me, is a Monochrome camera, that just happens to let me convert some photos to colour, should i want to. This means it also lets me choose the colour filter used for the shots, after i've shot them, something the M Monochrom doesn't have.

I find the black and white conversions from the M8 to have a look different to the M9, a bit punchier. The M9's are smoother, and greyer, it's a different look that has it's own charms. The M9 is far better for colour in my opinion, especially greens, even with the IR filters used on the M8.

I have a 50/f2 Planar for my M2 and enjoy the pictures from it very much.
I especially like the color from it.
