[Leica] IMG: New gallery - streets of Berlin at the weekend in B&W

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

  Hi all,

we were in Berlin over the weekend on a business trip 
(finding a new publisher and meeting a film producer 
working on Frauke's book).

Here are a few shots taken while travelling/walking to 
the various places we had to go to. Everything from a 
stretch Trabbi and the President's Palace to a 
"guerilla busker" on the train.

Some focusing and DoF problems - my Tokina 12-24 zoom 
suddenly decided it only wanted to shoot wide open at 
f4, a couple were also shot with Leica lenses - 21/4 
and 35/2


Spent most of our time in what used to be East Berlin - 
it always did have all the interesting bits and lunch 
is cheaper.

The fleamarket turned out to be rather good - another 
Canon A1 in mint condition with a 50/1.4 a 70-210 /4.0, 
a 28/2.8, a winder, case, Adapter P and bits and pieces 
and all the papers for 150 euros was too good a deal to 
miss.

The only other stuff there on Saturday was piles of 
Zorki, Fed, Kiev and similar Russian stuff and 1960's 
amateur cameras from Zeiss (east and west), like 
Voigtl?nder, Adox & co.


Hope you enjoy a little wander around some of the 
lesser known bits of Berlin. I suppose it could be 
street photography - it's a bunch of snapshots taken 
while out on the street.

Comments and criticism, as ever, more than welcome

Cheers
Douglas
