First "tests" with Kiev II

[spiderfrank]

Jupiter-8 1/25" f4 hand held (Kodak bw 400cn )

I "overcorrected" the parallax error! (not so much, the scanner cut something...), but overall I like this shot, even if not perfect

1/250" f8 : a sunny day...

I like the rendition of the J-8 in the shadows

I like it, the light area on the left is in the perfect spot. Maybe if you had the 'Whole Shot' it wouldn't be as good. Handheld a 1/25, sorry I can't do that anymore. Very nice, you are going to enjoy that camera.

You squeaked two others in while I was typing, also very nice.

a "timeless" shot... It could be made in the fifties... ;-)

Thank you John, the camera is heavy, and the shutter really smooth, you can do 1/25" easily... And... Yes, I enjoy that camera!

i think they are very nice and i think you got yourself pretty sharp lens. that f8 photo has a lot details. i would love to see a bigger version of it.

Yes, when I had my former "light leaking" Kiev 2a changed with this Kiev II, I kept the lens, because I liked it too much!

Beautiful work. I like using my my Kiev 4am. The little extra weight makes hand held realtively easy. That's a nice lens combo too. I have a Helios 103 that I like using.
The Kodak bw held the details nicely.

Niiice!
Jupiter 8 has that old timeless look to it. And the lighting is absolutely beautiful. It takes skills to bring all together. Good job.

 

[payasam]

You have a winning combination there.

 

[spiderfrank]

against the sun... Not so bad! ;-)

No, it's Savona!

Beautiful use of that J-8.

Keep posting about Savona. My great grandfather on my mother's side was born in Murialdo, in Savona province.

Hi Julio, I know there are a lot of people from Italy in South America, I have some shots of Savona and neiboroughs in my flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/spiderfrank

Hasta pronto, hombre!

Franco, beautiful stuff!! They are right, I think having the whole shot in #1 would ruin the pic. I like just like it is. I retensioned the shutter in my Kiev II yesterday. Although, it would seem like I already did it. I am starting to really dig shooting with this old piece of 'junk' That lens is a keeper

 

[spiderfrank]

Good new, TVphotog... Now we want to see your Kiev II's photos !! ;-)
