1937 Summar at f/6.3. Between f/3.2 and f/9, it's as sharp as a 'cron but with nicer bokeh. I see they're selling for 300 GBP each now with scratches. Mine is unscratched; it was so neglected by previous owners that no-one ever cleaned it, hence no cleaning marks!

Well Done ..,Great Shots Rick !

Must try the summar w/ a yellow filter

 

[Mr_Flibble]

Thanks Helen,

I regret I only had 2 roll of 35mm Ilford film with me on the trip.
Here's another with desaturated Lucky 200 Color film run through a cheap negative scanner.

Nice shot, mr Crutcher!

Is it just me, or do those uncoated lenses really look best on film...?

Gotta love those high-qaulity scans too, I wish I had a hi-res scan facility near me...!

Thank you. I agree film is the best. The lab scanned this shot but I get better results from my plustek 7600 and it's very easy. Just a thought.

Great results, Crutcher!

I'm blown away by the Elmar. I never thought an uncoated lens could produce such results.
Although i've not got much to share at the moment, i'm still playing around with mine.

Great results, Crutcher!

Thank you!

Great shots, Simon!

What lens & camera & film did you use?

 

[Simon Bruxelles]

Thanks Johan, it's a 1934 Leica III with an Elmar 5cm lens. The lens is uncoated so I use a Fison hood. Glad you like the shots.
