I'm always in awe of photos of NYC steam...then I remember it's an open sewer :p

Great shot

Just to set the record straight, the steam is produced by Con Edison in generating plants and provides heat, hot water, and cooling to about 2000 of manhattan's buildings including the Empire State, Chrysler, Rockefeller Center, and Grand Central Station. It is environmentally friendly and energy efficient. The Gowanus Canal is another story. ;)

WOW! Just schooled me, I though it was warm human waste meeting with brisk winter air creating these steam clouds. I guess something else will have to account for the smell in NYC.

I kid! :D

Some wonderful b/w on this page. Tipton, I love your final image (and the preceding, very cinematic but still intimate, shot). The Nokton rocks b/w!
Anyway, some color:

I just snagged one of these for a pretty good price locally. Now I just need an adapter so I can mount it on the R2 that I have in the mail!

Nice! I think that lens (and camera) suits you. How do you like ERA 100?

I'm quite enjoying the combo, but I typically leave the Skopar 35 on the camera more often. How have you been getting along with Godzilla? Heh.

The ERA film is very interesting, I find that it will often have very high contrast if I'm using the Skopar, but it's quite pleasant with the Nokton. Or I just have to be sure to stay out of harsh light ;)

I'm still getting used to focusing the Nokton wide open. I've got the Skopar down (which isn't that difficult) but some of my wide open frames with the Nokton are very clearly focused behind what I intended. Just need more practice I suppose!

I've got plenty more frames to share as I just scanned in 4 rolls of film :)

You should try it out Tom! I really am quite fond of the lens (Not to mention the fact that it bears a striking resemblance to the MP-3's LHSA Summilux ;))

Abram,

That's one of the reasons I invested in one.....(see below)



On my LHSA TTL 0.85 M6 BP - it's the "Poor Man's BP Summilux. :)

I think the two will also make a good shooting pair as well as looking good together......

Don't forget the Nikon S version for Nikon rangefinders has the SAME glass as the Leica
Screw Mount Version!
