Some new film PAWs that I've gotten around to uploading:


PAW22: It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a small plane in a small room 
in Tokyo. Can anyone identify what type of plane it is? Piper 
Cherokee?   Leica M3 / Summaron 35mm f/2.8

PAW23: I'm a sucker for dogs and Tokyo is a good  city for taking 
PAWs walking around neighborhoods.  The Summaron renders this nicely. 
We're at the end of the dog days of summer, it's becoming quite 
chilly these days.

PAW21:  Alley near Shinjuku Station. Again with the M3/ Summaron 
combination, at night, handheld.

PAW24:  If you're one those who are in denial that changing lenses 
can actually change the flavor of a photograph, compare this scene of 
busy downtown life in Ameyokocho with the scene above in Shinjuku. 
The modern Summicron is much colder and contrastier. Different, yes. 
Better... perhaps? I actually prefer the Summaron for neighborhood 
photos (as long as there is no bright light to cause it to flare).

PAW20: I cross-posted this with the Voigltander list so I thought I 
should throw in a photo taken with a Voigtlander lens, in this case 
the 25mm Color Skopar.*  It's  a fine lens but it has a tendency to 
flare.

* I think it's the 25mm. I  wrote down 15mm in my log, but the 
perspective is more 25mm than 15mm.


Comments and flames welcome!
