What a beautiful rendition of color and look, almost like Autochromes. What film/camera did you use if you don't mind my asking.

 

[pete hogan]

Great colors, huyvuvn. Type of film?

 

[martinjames]

huyvuvn, very nice! I'm also curious as to the materials used...

Yeah, I really like the combination of Portra 160 with these old lenses. I've got a couple of rolls of the 400 speed in the bag, going to try that next.

I also have some Ektar around but I haven't really cared too much for it.

That Portra and an uncoated lens is pretty nice!

Got two rolls around here somewhere, seems I might need those for a spin whenever a brighter day is up. Currently it's all gray and flat light here...

50mm Elmar from '36 or '37, I forget.

Hektor 5cm at f/6.3 or so and Kodak NC400. Minimal levels adjustment. Posted in another thread before.

The quality of this image is stunning, given the age of the lens. Simply outstanding.

Makes me want one!

Nice, after seeing this I MUST send my Summitar out for a relube. The aperture and focus rings are pretty stiff and I don't want to screw things up by forcing anything. Who would you recommend to do the work Mr. Bingley?

Thanks for your comment. The last Summitar I had serviced (not the one I currently own) I sent to Sherry Krauter, who loves Summitars and did a good job cleaning and lubing mine. You can also try Youxin Ye, although I've not had him work on a lens (but he's a great guy and has a fast turnaround).

This is now my oldest lens, and my first pre-war LTM.
