Helen, I just keep coming back to this picture. Very, very nice. As another forum member said, it has great mood. Sorry to be redundant, but did want to share my appreciation for your shot. And it proves that absolute focus/sharpness is not required to make a compelling image. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Cheers & Many Thanx
I"m Quite Pleased that YOU liked the Photo....

For me shooting is more about
catching or creating
'ATMOSPHERE'
then absolute focus :eek:

All the Best xx - Helen :)
 
Hey TIGRE, a long time ago I found your Flickr Account when I searched for Summilux+50mm. There were color shots, too, some expired film I think. You should post those, too, I marked them as favorite if I remember correctly, but can't find them now.

Whats does 'Leicaish colour' mean?

Hi Pete,

I think Leica lenses of 70's and 80's have very unique fingerprints in colour. A bit trace of warmth with moderate contrast. I recall some people call it leica brown. I have a few M leica lenses of the 50's and the newest asph. Tele-elmarit 135mm is the only leica M lens I have from 70's. I also have summicron 90 R and summilux 50 R from the 80's. Based on my personal observation, I tend to summarize leica lenses into three groups according to their respective characteristics.

lens of 50's and 60's: high resolution, low contrast( according to today's standard), rich grey scale in B&W, a bit soft wide open, not very good for colour.

lens of 70's and 80's: high resolution, moderate contrast, big improvement wide open, quite unique colour rendition which is distinguishable from Japanese peer lenses.

lens of 90's to current: APO or asph glass, very high resolution, high contrast even wide open, razer sharp, colour rendition less distinguishable from other top glass such as VC/Zeiss/Konica.
 
Riccis thank You! it was expired Kodak Gold 100 but I think it was ideal light conditions for it because other rolls shot in different time were not so good as that one...

Mike thank You very much! Yes it was my beloved 'Lux 50mm (pre-asph)
