Certainly without modern day vehicles! They "kill the ancient/old effect" I believe you are trying for? "SHARP or FUZZY?" Let the street/ building scene dictate this! And not the computer screens of several nice folks with a 100 different opinions! Me being one of them. ;-) Or now you've had a go at it with both type of lenses and because this is your project? "IT'S YOUR CALL! YOUR GUT FEELING!" Because if you rely on the mixed opinions of the CREW?????????????????? You'll go crazy! But that's life when you ask an honest question from a collection of very talented photographers! And we all mean well in our suggestions. Better me old son, you take whatever lens cranks your clock with the greatest "I love it effects for you?" And you run with it until your project is finished. Then at the end, you lay the images out for all to see! And they'll be received with the whoops and yells of a great number of very satisfied bunch of buddies! And in the "EVENT YOU DON'T GET THAT KIND OF SUPER POSITIVE REACTION?" You quietly? Tell them to "GET STUFFED!" :-) Smile and print a book or create a fantastic gallery presentation! WHY? Quite simply because it's "your project" If you love it? That's really who counts only!" :-) "Off with you now and produce a smashing great photo project!" :-) cheers, Dr. ted :-) -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Richard Man Sent: December-16-14 2:14 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: [Leica] Opinions Wanted: Sharp or Fuzzy? I am starting to do a series on "Old Buildings that have not been Torn Down Yet" (*may be slightly tongue in cheek*) Anyway, I am considering whether to use one of those old style fuzzy-lens to get certain effect and feelings across. Attached are 2 pics from the fuzzy-lens and 2 from normal 4x5 lens. The Stanford Theater shows up on both set so can serve as nice comparison. What are you opinions? Which "style" speak to you more? I know the "correct answer" is which one *I* prefer, but like to hear others' opinions. Thanks.
