Did a bit of color... comments appreciated

Been shootin' at a swap meet / car show a while ago. It was dedicated to Italian motoring, so lots of Alfa Romeos, Lamborgini's, Abarths and the like. This picture I particularly like. It oozes that 'old school' color look for some reason.

That image is wonderful in quality. However, you failed to indicate what camera and lens as well as film you used, all of which, upon being given, would enlighten all viewers. I went to your Web site as well and it, too, fails to provide those details.

The question is, how much does it matter? But because you asked, here goes:

Camera: Nikon FM (yes, I had my M2 with me, but that was loaded with Tri-X)
Lens: Sigma 28mm f1.8 aspherical at f2.8 or so. Speed 1/60th of a second.
Film: Fuji Superia 800 (rated at 640).

There you have it. Not even made with a RF, but with a brassed 60 euro FM, and a greasy 3rd party wide angle I bought for 100 euros. Both are of course excellent. But I like to point out that Leica gear keep its value extremely well, but that you actually can make nice photos with other, cheaper stuff too 😉

Fantastic Pictures Ronald, I could've sworn I was looking at pictures from a 1970 car show.

Regards,

Striking color palette indeed! Makes me want to finish that roll of Delta3200 that's been sitting in the camera for a month a.s.a.p. and load up with Superia800 pronto.

Oh, and lets not forget: you've got a mighty fine photo there!
