2.8c xenotar

As postet in earlier, i first was a little concerned about the quality of the xenotar because the coating has some speckles all over. Turns out that it gives a little more flare than usual, but the overall quality is just what a dreamt of. i must say, i think i fell in love. Right now, my 500CM, although i love it for special situations, feels like a huge chunky brick compared to this sweet little thing.

cheers

Taken with a little Voigtlander Brilliant from 1933 ... scale focus and uses a magnifier instead of a screen.

Great image, Keith. Mysterious.

 

[Mlehrman]

Very, very interesting photo. It is an eerie and delightfully ambiguous image.

Governors Island with a Yashica Mat 124G and Tri-X (Yes, I know - non-square. Is that legal?)

Lovely picture with great composition.

Thanks, Peter. I've really got to send this camera for a CLA. I'm getting weird bands in the sky, ruining bunches of frames.

Sure! The value of the square negative is that you can crop it horizontal or vertical or leave it square as you feel gives you the best picture. In the old days we cropped every photo as needed; unless, of course, you were having the photos printed at the drug store. Even then some of us would take scissors to the prints.

It was the university professors teaching some kind of fake purist artistic crap with 35mm that started the no cropping BS back in the 1970's. One of the ads I remember from the old days was a Speed Graphic ad labeled, "One good negative, seven great photos", that showed the negative and seven crops from it that gave entirely different pictures of firefighters at a fire. Cropping is one of our most powerful tools, don't throw it away.

I reckon the 2.8F is the greatest camera ever made taking such things as size, weight, performance, reliability and versatility into account.
