Street Shooting in Amsterdam

[djonesii]

This is the first chance that I had to use my M6 in Europe. Here in Houston, there is not much life on the streets, so I use the M6 for other things. I used the CV40mm and Chinese made BW400 C41 film. Processing and scanning are costco.

The rest of the set can be found at

Nice! Hope you enjoyed the city, looks like you caught it in nice weather.. which is quite rare here (although we're having a great summer at the moment) 🙂
I took out my M6 yesterday on its maiden city trip!

I am going there in a month and was going to take my m6 and a lot of film vs. a pro dslr. I was going to take all my lenses (15, 28, 35, 50, 90). From your gallery, it looks like a wider than would be very beneficial. Do you wish you had something wider?

Last time I was there some dude tried to sell me a baggy of camel dung. What gives?

My first visit to Amsterdam was a great experience. I just loved the place and want to go back!

I'm fortunate in that - ten minutes from my house is the night ferry to Europoort and Amsterdam, and I make three or four trips a year, and never tire of the City! 🙂

Well if any of you want to get a beer sometime and go on a photo trip in the evening let me know, I'm always in for some street shooting.

In answer to wider ..... The 40 is just right for the way that I like to shoot my version of street. As I get the time, I will get my G1 sets up. On the same trip, I used the G1 in both Paris and Amsterdam.

My preference is the CV 40 on the M6, the 25mm on the G1 gives a 50 FOV, and when I use the Zoom, I tend to set it close to a 40mm FOV, or 20mm.

The wides have never really moved me, obliviously, YMMV!
