Argh, that's sad.
So no shot from the point of "View from the Window at Le Gras"... :(
 
helen and jim, thanks for the compliments!
portaits with the summar are mostly special, and wonderful when they come off....
 
Took a while to figure out how to scan the Superpan film, but I think it did turn out quite nice.
As for the portrait, he's a colleague of mine, enjoying brunch at the APEX hotel in London ;)
 
Isn't the Summarit 50 f/1.5 practically the same lens configuration except for the coating?
The glow should be partially due to Lucky's lack of an anti-halation layer. The other part is probably the cleaning marks at both ends of my lens. ;)
 
Nice photos. James1 is that the Bluebell railway? It's local to me and some of my favourite Leica photos of the last few months I took there (but they weren't on pre-war glass so I won't post here). It's a great place to take a camera :)
 
Mr Flibble, your Xenon may be worthy of other, "better" films, but you do capture that period feeling in a very pleasing way, I think.
