Walking the new Ultron

[nikola]

Hi everyone! 🙂

These are first pic's from my new Ultron 35, gratuitously given to me by someone whom I don't even now... not even virtually! 😀 So thank you Anonymous who ever you are, and thank you Jorge!

These all where taken in one day... walking the whole city by foot from the post office. 😎

Film is efke 100 (I'm pretty new to developing and everything, this is my second roll) developed in Rodinal 1+50 for 10min.

hey, i wanted to ask where are the beautiful croatian girls...but the last image saved you 😀
good images, i'm sure you will like the lens.
(no it wasn't me.)

The shots are nice and the development looks very good. The lens appears to be a real winner! Enjoy!

Thanks guys! 🙂

...and memphis... NO WAY! 🙂

 

[Ewoud]

Nice shots!

Only in the first shot there is a weird 'patern' in the upper right corner, are these JPG artefacts or do they show up on your negs aswell? Cuz then it might have something to do with your developing.

Hehe Ewoud.... just clouds... but ugly dispersed...

M3 would be nice... 🙂

 

[Andrew Sowerby]

Very nice pics. What's the strange looking building in the second one?

 

[nikola]

To me it looks like giant light display... but it's a lighthouse... just in bad shape! 🙂

On the top are antenas for navigating little alien ships! 🙂 ...or is it GSM?

 

[PetarDima]

Everything is O.K. 🙂
shots are fantastic! Keep on shooting with EFKE(contrast is fantastic). You are lucky, man.
Regards, Vladimir.

I'll trade my leica cl and my wife for the girl in the last shot...

Does she know this? 😉

Very nice photos using the big foreground perspective that this lens allows you.

@ Nikola, ok thats good to hear

few more... i'm not satisfied with scanner (canon 4400f)... scans are just too blurry...

untouched

this one is sharpened - but too much

i barely noticed this one... the moment passed in the instant.... there was no going back... reallllly quick shot

i could work on this one...

i'm having this vertical lines on every shot... (i just clone it out sometimes...cause it's so disturbing....) i can't see it on film, but is probably there... don't have magnifier to check it... could it be the bessa???
or bulk loading... i'm loading by hand... but this is observable on all films... maybe the roll itself is scratched in making...???

you've sold me to the 35/1.7 i was debating whether or not to get the bigger yet faster ultron or just the slower but smaller skopar which gives great contrast. great pics!

Firstly - great shots and please keep them coming. Your companion has a lovely smile!

The first shot looks good on my screen (a new LCD monitor) - it might be the monitor you are using is making it worse than it really is. How do the prints look?

If the vertical line on the negative is absolutely consistent across the whole roll, it might have been caused in manufacturing. I get them too, but more often with a particular bulk loader, or if I don't leave the film for a day to dry properly after developing.

Nice job Nikola! I enjoy seeing your part of the world. Thanks for sharing it with us!

 

[nikola]

winoto - the best thing is, that ultron is not so big really... in real life it's just one cute little lens... with weird front element... little weirdo 🙂

Chris - at full size scan... it's still blurry... I'll try to find real scanner to check the difference... flatbeds aren't scanners 😀
I don't have equipment for printing, lab sounds to time consuming... and that's not my style... and really don't know nothing about printers...

thanks everyone, I'll try to keep them coming 😀

I've gotten scratches like that from forgetting to open the film gate on my bulk loader, but they are typically more obvious in my case. I also have gotten them from sliding the negative in and out of a negative sleeve.

 

[nikola]

I don't have bulk loader nor negative sleeves! 🙂))))
