Star to Jupiter


 I wrote about the 'pancake' lens Industar 69 in the last post. I've been using it a lot on my Fujifilm X-Pro1 in the last week, and I am very pleased.



 
Above and below you can see the light distortion in the corners. I like that effect - it gives the pictures a retro look.



The other day I received something in the mail...


It was a long expected Canon P rangefinder shipped from the Netherlands. It sported a 50 mm lens which I'd not given much thought since the P is what I coveted.


Anway, since the P immediately had to be shipped to be repaired (since the rewinding release got stuck, thanks a bunch), the Jupiter 8 lens was to be excercised instead. I stuck it to the X-Pro and went out.


And it performed really well - didn't it?







Can't wait to get the P back, though.

Digi Bewe Oh

I really like the look of the b&w pictures that I get out of the Samsung NV7 digital camera. I only use it for black & white photography since the colour pictures are very bleak. At least when compared to the ones that I get with my Fujifilm cameras. And the grains really evoke the impression of black & white film. A friend of mine documents solitary bees making homes behind this plexi glass screen. No digital tweaking was made apart from the flying bee picture. These pictures are straight out of the camera.
