Rick,

Bizarre, but as soon as I saw the top 1/2 of this one, I said Summitar (I must get out more). Love that Extar.....

Another great shot BTW 😉

I tried shooting with the Summitar wide open during that not-so-serious photoshoot, an idea I borrowed from LeicaTom. Now, if only I could get the same gorgeous models he works with 😉

Some more portraits to stay on topic

Fort Vechten - Sept 2007. Leica IIIa, 90mm f/4 Elmar, VIDOM finder, Adox 400 I think (need to look it up)

Another greta shot, Rick, I really must try my 90mm Elmar, bought off Kim Coxon years ago and still sitting in my LTM drawer.

I think you have a real feel for these period shots.

Those little boxes of magic obviously have good mojo when it comes to portraits!

Zorkikat - I like the LuckPan shot - great tones. I used to shoot that in toy cameras, but don't seem to be able to get it regularly these days.

Thanks John. Luckypan in paRodinal or Rodinal gives nice tones. With some texture reminiscent of the old emulsions. Luckypan is still widely available here, and is perhaps the most commonly found BW film now in SE Asia.

Our next two generations. IIIg and Serenar 1.8 and Fujicolor

And a 'selfie' mirror shot from the same batch.

"Pass the 'ablon' will you Geeves ... we're ready for the next roll!" 😀

Looks like a Xenon on a III ?

The touring car in the other photo looks like it might be a '29 or '30 Lincoln...

Taken with a Barnack of me holding a Barnack standing next to Barnack!

Taken a few years ago near Verdun

Well it is a PORTRAIT!

 

[dave lackey]

Great idea for this thread! Stunning posts....enough to make me want to find a III body myself!
