Oh for a digital back !!!! Still, I do hope to get back to it for b/w. To the images: 1. woman hidden by the tree/grate would have been better with her in the image or perhaps gone altogether 2. Sky is a disaster of course, but the street scene is fine 3. The people are nicely separated in this one and certainly add to the image 4. ditto, and love the wonky buildings in the b/g: waist level for this one? 5. looks like he's a Rollei fan 6. a bit too far from the action 7. Colour looks good here despite the weather. Wonderful building 8. too much foreground: this is one where using the wide, you can correct distortion by using only the upper 50% of the image: Rollei half frame 9. wow, sudden change of feeling: love the composition and the water looks cold: at last, something in the sky ;-) Cheers --- douglas.sharp@gmx.de wrote: From: Douglas Sharp <douglas.sharp@gmx.de> To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org>, leicareflex@freelists.org Cc: Subject: [Leica] Red-brick Gothic Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2008 14:09:35 +0100 Totally OT equipment and negative film too - trying out my Rollei 3003, bought recently to replace an SL2000F that finally gave up the ghost (IMO - the most innovative 35mm camera ever made - the only thing missing is a digital back) with a Voigtl?nder Color-Skoparex 4/21mm (poosibly the most compact 21mm along with its twin the Rolleinar 4/21) on dreary, wet and windy days in Hannover and L?neburg. The film was cheap Fuji consumer negative stuff that was well over its sell-by date (or are Fuji colours always a bit strange?)
