Other Areas Singapore and Malaysia RF Club

David, not bad... but mostly my stuff, as usual! Closing in a day or two, you need anything? My Ampang friend will need to pick his stuff up so maybe I can send your stuff with him. Should be arriving on my doorstep in the 2nd-3rd week of Sept.
 
Has anyone around our region been following the news about Hurricane Katrina. It looks to be a really horrible scenario. What am i kidding? It is. 🙁 And that's the grim truth of it. http://www.osei.noaa.gov/iod.html The hurricane is expected to hit the island at 7 or 8pm singapore time tonight.

All the major news networks in the United States have focused on this F5 hurricane. There are reports every 1/2 hour on the net.
Here's a graphic detail of the area which i found. http://www.nola.com/hurricane/index.ssf?/washingaway/goingunder.html
All around new orleans, it is surrounded by water and below sea level. 🙁 I hope our members there like Natalia have already gotten out.

Some scans of the 28 Skopar test shots-

(1) & (2) Wide open (that's relative of course) @ f 3.5 & 1/20th (yes, that's possible on a IIIc) at a Novena Sq deli, between munches of chicken sandwich-
(3) Scott's Rd building now housing an upmarket beauty salon. Somewhat overcast lighting. f 5.6
(4) ? Sorry, can't remember name of building- but Glenn was there. Ambitiously handheld at 1/15th & f3.5

The scans were made at 4m pixels per inch on a Nikon 5000 ED, full frame.
I've resized the images to what I think are reasonably small files for posting. Unmanipulated except for some colour correction for fluorescent/ tungsten. No sharpening, histogram work, curves etc

The full sized 28 fidner is bright, clear, distortion free (as one might expect). Scratches my glasses though.
I'll post some people pics when I get round to scanning the BW400CN test rolls. All in all the Skopar is dead easy to use, nicely made & small- but it's a bit SLOW..

Cheers
David
 
Thanks David!

The results from the lens look very sweet...

Just wondering if the extra bulk and price from the 28/1.9 is worth it at all, before I finally jump in...

I do believe that the last picture was of Adelphi shopping centre. The last one turned out pretty well. 😀 It seemed hard to handhold at such slow speeds.
The first 2 turned out nicely too.
