Just got the C-Biogon 35mm f2.8

[bojanfurst]

Two from the last roll I processed. I am actually testing different films with Blazinal (Rodinal). Both photos are ZI with C-Biogon 35mm on Ilford Pan F in 1:50. I should probably say that 50 ISO is pretty useless film in Newfoundland because bright sunny days are few and far between. It's 0C and a -6C windchill at the moment.

Great Shots ALL ...hail to the 35 C biogon!!!

Helen,
I really like your shot "a Distant City." Elevated rail (MTA?), old industrial buildings, parking lots, water towers, distant cityscape, moody atmospherics, and some really good compositional elements. I feel like I could be in a borough anytime from the 1950's until today.

Was this a shot that you've planned out or just a spur of the moment capture? Either way kudos on a great shot.

Oh Hello 'huddy'
Thank you for commenting...Lovely 😉

It was just one of those mornings where the Sky beckoned
Some fog, mist, light breaking thru
And I thought what will this Look like
with a somewhat Modern Lens
shooting my TriX @320

Happilyfor me it maintained the retro moody industrial 'feel'
Cheers & Best to You - H

Helen, "A Distant City" is a beauty!

I for the first time developed some HP5+ @1600 in Rodinal 1:50. That is, hands down, my new favourite high speed combination.

Helen, "A Distant City" and "Mother and Child" are exquisite...just superb!

The edge of North America... Next stop Ireland...

The film is an an Italian brand unknown to me that a forum member Mauro sent me as part of a continuing letter/print exchange that started after one of the print exchanges here...

Just got my first roll of color back with my C-Biogon and I'm really loving it. I find it to not be that sharp, but I'm pretty sure that's more to do with my scanning technique than the lens itself. That said, here's what I've got!

Voigtlander hood works!

Voigtlander hood works!

I just got my 'new' C Biogon from popflash today. I'll be using it on the Fuji X-pro1, giving me an equivalent 53mm lens.

In case no one has mentioned this before, I just discovered that the my Voigtlander LH-6 lens hood (for their 40mm Nokton lens) fits on the C Biogon perfectly! Hallelujah... I don't have to buy the Zeiss version! 🙂

 

[maggieo]

Have fun with your new, little, and fantastic lens, Jamie!

I really like those Robert; very nice.

 

[rhl-oregon]

Thanks! Ektar can do no wrong, it seems.
The ZI is going home to Jonmanjiro, who misses it. Now it's (M-wise) all down to the M5 and CL for me. But maybe I'll pick up my OM4 more, esp. after studying your & Roland's work in the "year of 50s" thread.
