You know me ... a NYC Subway gurl

The lighting and tonality, though not the characters, remind me of 'Dutchman', a movie that I imagine most have forgotten...

@Erik van Straten I gotta shoot some more black and white. Wow. My style of processing tends to be very heavy and contrasty, but yours is delicate without being flat.

This one is gorgeous. The Summar is really amazing for its time.

It absolutely is. The problem with the Summar however is its extremely soft front lens and the fact that only a few are coated. When the front lens is without scratches and the lens is coated, buy it at once.
