Just got the C-Biogon 35mm f2.8

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.

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

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...
 
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! :)
 
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.
