My first B&W shots with a yellow filter (there is always a first time)

All the shots are taken in Albisola, a little village near my town

Ciao

Great. I cannot beleive this is Kiev 60!

 

[spiderfrank]

Yes, it is my Kiev 60, with its 80mm Arsat: when "in the right day" it can do beautiful photos... ;-)

Nicely done, the ability of the larger format is especially clear in the first street scene with the fine details and smooth tones These things can work very nicely - I have a Pentacon Six which has the same lens-mount, though the lenses are Zeiss for that camera.

But don't forget these are slr's and the post is in 120 r/f ??!!

You have a good eye, SpiderFrank. Regarding the Kiev 60 and Pentacon-Six, I have many of these cameras, and I am as likely to use them, as any of my four Hasselblads. The most important thing is -your eye- and you have it. The results are superb, as they should be. And just as useful (and different) in use are the P6 cameras as any of the Hasselblads.

-Dan, the format size of the film is still the biggest contributing factor to the overall pleasing quality of the images, followed by the quality of the lenses which can be variable, with Kiev and Pentacon. The 80mm Arsat is normally a -good- one. Just make sure it doesn't light leak, when shooting close-up, through the silver stop-down lever. Black tape will fix that

Nice tones, something that the larger formats deliver really well.
