Leica LTM first roll of color through the iiif

[paulfish4570]

and the ultramax 400 negs, CD, prints look fine. shutter speeds seem to be spot on, based on my weston master V. what a hoot this little cam is. pics later.

Just saw the pic you posted of the camera. Looks like a very nice IIIf BD. Have fun using it; those old Leicas are great cameras.

iiif, cv 50/2.5 color skopar, ultramax 400 slightly out of date, drugstore processing, scanning to CD:

and one more just for the red (where is the lush green of my brother-in-law's lawn?):

It looks like you have a good'un. If you use it a lot (and i'm sure you will) the shutter may loosen up a bit and reduce the slight over exposure that may have given the weak green in your last pic. This is only a guess so i am open to being corrected. I look forward to more pictures.

Looks like you're having fun with ALL your new cameras, Paul! Is this just the beginning of a collection or are you done now?

 

[paulfish4570]

Frank, I am done with bodies, unless i get a 120 tlr with crank instead of red window, maybe a flexaret.

Congratulations Paul nice images, I am considering the same camera to slip inside my
bag alongside my M2. I have a few M lens,but recently picked up a VC 25mm F4 and finder. I would be interested if you found switching between cameras ( veiwfinders "ect")
difficult or just different.
Regards
Chris

Looking good Paul. Little bit of purple sheen in some of them I think, probably down to the drugstore's scanning method

 

[paulfish4570]

Chris, i don't have an trouble. i'm a deliberate kind of guy, so i don't get in a hurry. i've run only 2 rolls through the IIIF, and eye placement already is getting automatic.

 

[paulfish4570]

and one more, 1/100 at f4 or f5.6 (the tv room has skylights):

 

[ray*j*gun]

Barnacks rule lol..... but seriously, its really hard to beat a nice iii unless you just want a bigger finder........i wound up owning 4 bodies acquired over a number of years.

Enjoy.

 

[helen.HH]

cooool ...You did IT !
Barnacks do RULE .....your shoys Looke Fantastic

PURRfectly put Paul about "eye placement already getting automatic"

 

[paulfish4570]

Rick, i'd never see a purple sheen. i am a little color blind in red and green, just enough so that i am totally untrustworthy in color PP. i pretty much have to accept autocolor ...

this is a practical reason i shoot mostly black and white ...

 

[paulfish4570]

thank you, helen and ray ...

I love the "Rules" picture - set up nicely with the girl and the dog picture.

 

[paulfish4570]

thank you, sir.

 

[FrankS]

The best accessory for these cameras is an external viewfinder. What a difference.

 

[johannielscom]

Love the TV room shot, Paul. Colors are real nice on that one (trust me )!

I'm impressed with the Color-Skopar, one day I might get me a CS 50/2.8, love the Summaron-like design for my M3.

You will like it forever.

To make it really small, 50 3.5 red scale.

Your truck is overexposed because you metered the shadow side and tried to bring it up thus overexposing the sun portions of the scene. Try printing it down darker.
