What are you doing this weekend?

[raid]

I started out by a downtown and beach visit with my family this morning.
One of my photos posted in the gallery was commented on my Jan recently, and he saw lack of sharpness in a photo with good graphical attributes, so I went to the spot toady and I took many graphical images there in B&W this time. I am now trying to take photos that are not of my family when the opporunity is there, but I really enjoy documenting the daily lives around me.

I gave my Summarit another "shot", and this time I used B&W film with a yellow filter [on a Leica IIIc] and hood during an overcast morning. If this time the lens is subnormal, I need to take action.

I also took some B&W photos (with brownish filter) with the Summitar for the first time. I hope that the images will come out nice.

The Zeiss Sonnar 50/2 lens was used with B&W film and a green filter.

The built-in meter in the CL came in handy with these old lenses where the aperture control is hard to reach, and when mounting a filter and lens hood,things got more complicated.

I have no plans so far for tomorrow, but will most likely enjoy downtown again.

I think I will be taking my wife to the Northumberland coast on our Ducati motorcycle, but I will probably take my minox 35gt as well!

Alan: The Minox GT is one of my favorites. Your Ducati bike sounds cool.

Got a lifetime collection of pictures from the estate of a local journalist yesterday [who has one photo in the Britannica]. Today, I have been sorting and scannning all day except for a near noon break to take my M2 and 50mm 'cron down to the river for a few shots to break the routine. Back to the task all afternoon and am now stopping at 8pm. It has been interesting to me.

Why do I get the feeling that the next step in your gear evolution is headed in the digital direction?

Took some digital shots of Flagg Coal #75 in Metamora Indiana. (That's a Vulcan 0-4-0 Steam engine built in Wilkes-Barre PA.)

Metamora is a neat little tourist town. Reminds of a little of New Hope PA...

Why do I get the feeling that the next step in your gear evolution is headed in the digital direction?

i like the ease and simplicity of process that is digital, but i much prefer using rf cameras, so i'm kinda stuck.
will never be able to afford/justify the m8 so my only hope might be a used rd-1 someday.
the small canon is going to be my belt camera for a while.
i created a blog for work activities and digital fits that niche perfectly as it gives me good quality pics with minimal time spent at home working on them.
my boss gave me a wall at work and i have started a small gallery of my film shots so this is a mutually beneficial working arrangement.

btw, i think my zm glass is digital ready...😉

 

[raid]

I just loaded my Luigi clad M3 with Fuji 400 Neopan, and I am ready mentally for a day with the M3 and German glass. I will exercise the 35mm Summicron and the Nikkor 85mm/2.0 lenses.

To those of you who are going to be in Boston,
Boston is a great city for street photography. I used to walk around Harvard Square and other areas where people were plenty around.

My weekends are Friday and Saturday this month.
My Friday shooting was with the Canon 7 (loaded with APX400) and Canon 50/1.8 and a Panasonic LZ2 digicam.
Saturday's walk along the East Holland River was an SLR day (Nikon FE with 35/2, 50/1.4 and 135/2.8 (all pre-AI) and the LZ2.
