Whoa! Just a bit of flare, Thomas!

Whoa! Just a bit of flare, Thomas!

Thats true. - This f/2.8 Tessar type lens would shure benefit from a proper lens hood (and also a lens cap which I do not own, too)

Other than that, a beautiful photo.

Top: 10/15/2014, sleeping man on bench wearing string belt on 34th Street between 7th & 8th Avenues, Manhattan, New York City 1/125 f/5.6 1/2.

Bottom: 10/26/2014, man on a mission of some sort in NYC subway station 1/30 f/2.8.

Black and white street photography portraits shot with Kodak 120 Tmax 400 film and 1961 Rolleiflex 2.8f.

These are something else! That first one is stunning but that second one, I instantly fell for it. Great stuff.

Dan, why do you use a yellow filter?

I have thought that yellow filters were used more to darken the sky. Of course, they also make yellow tones lighter. Additionally, it seems that many, if not most, street photographers on this forum say they use no filter on the street.

I know you wouldn't use it without a good reason to do so. Could you tell me why?

Thanks -

Happy to -- because I shoot a lot in the morning, in shade and inside I need 400 speed film. But when I'm in the sun, I need some density to reduce my exposure to 1/250 and f/11.5. I should really carry my 2 nd filter or polarizer -- but I've got the exposure down with the 1.5 Yellow, and when there's sky -- which there often is, it's helpful. So I guess I got in the habit. Ideally, I'd carry 2 cameras, one with 100 Tmax and the other with 400.

Dan, thanks for the explanation. That makes perfect sense! 🙂

Bence8810, that is an outstanding portrait!

I use a #8 yellow just because I hate that bald, lifeless sky you get without a filter.

Dan, is the Rollei 3.5 a bayonet 1 or bayonet 2 filter size ?

 

[NY_Dan]

My 2.8f is a bay III, my 3.5f is a bay II, my Rolleiwide is a bay IV
