B&W Streets - Trying a Modded Steinheil for Pen F




Some time ago I modded a lens from a Paxette camera to be used on my Olympus Pen F. It's a Steinheil Cassarit 45 mm lens with a maximum aperture of f/2,8. I took a stroll around the nearest big city Örebro. Since the Pen F is a half-frame camera the lens produces photographs equal in crop to a 67 mm on a full frame camera. Here are some results.
I am very pleased with how the lens handles. It's not flimsy at all and has click-stops at the aperture settings.















It was Vespa Day or Scooter Day so I happened upon the local Vespa tinkerers and was invited to in future visit one guy's workshop to photograph.

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.
