Some very good photos here. I wouldn't have expected that sort of resolution and tonality out of delta 3200.

i find hk just a bit too cramp to use the 45mm on an xpan. Often don't have enough space behind me to back off enough. You've obviously managed better than i have! Loving the 15mm we traded a while back btw, its my new favorite on the m8

Thanks for the comment and good to hear you are still using the lens, actually I am thinking of buying the new M-mount version of the 15 when it gets out!!

Lovely photos. Makes me want to dust off my Xpan and head on out...

Thanks for the comment. By the look of your Flickr you need to shoot more film!!!😀 You have been spoiled by the M8+Noctilux combo!!!

It has been the same for me, I almost exclusively used my M8 for the last 12 months, it was good to see HK through the insane viewfinder of the Xpan!!

BTW, do you use the 90mm much on the Xpan?

 

[runny]

I shoot about 50/50 film and digital, but the film takes longer to do and with all the scanning and everything doesn't always make it onto Flickr. I also now have a medium format Mamiya that should see the film count go up quite a bit.

I am embarrassed to say that I have not yet used the 90mm lens. It looks a little lonely, so I should do something about that.

If you are letting your xpan connect dust, you can pass it over to me and be assured no dust will ever get on it.....that is until I am able to buy more camers, but that will be in decades.

Those are some nice photos!

Nice work Max. It's good to see you still explore films when people are asking for the M9 and R-D2.

I am even thinking about buying a better scanner instead of buying the new Heliar 15!!!!

BTW, do you know where to buy Plustek scanners in Hong Kong? I want the OpticFilm 7500i AI scanner, I just sold my Heliar 12mm so I have the funds now!!!

Hi Max,
And I am enjoying learning the wide aspects of your old 12mm Heliar.
Thanks for that and good luck finding the scanner. Enjoyed the panos very much
Cheers
Howard
PS: I do Panos with my M8 and a novoflex pan head mostly with the Tri Elmar. Please see:

Max, why not look for an old minolta scanner. They go for a song these days and the Dmax of the scan duals or scan elites will beat the plustek anyday. Amazing shadow detail in b/w

Hi Howard,

Thanks for the comment and let me see what you've done with the heliar 12mm.

Actually, I just bought a Plustek, the 7500i AI at quite a good price because of the AUS$! I was going to go for a Minolta but was reluctant buying one on eBay, they are quite old and cannot be serviced anymore.
