[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I got the Kodachrome 25 slides back using my recently acquired summicron (pre-latest). It was a delight using the summicron, love the focus tab, and I got used to the round plastic hood (I asked about it last week). I didn't get the results I wanted, mainly because of miss-focussing: I have been using to the 40mm Rokkor for a while, and now I realize through some blurry misses that the 50mm has much less depth-of-field. I was shooting around f4 to f5.6, 1.5 to 3 meters away. The CL probably makes it harder that a regular M, need to be more careful next time. This was also my first K25 roll; unfortunately it didn't convince me; I'm reverting back to Astia. The slides on the loupe kept telling me "I am a colorized black and white..." (probably my mind) The last couple of days I put some B&W and found myself carrying the CL and the Summicron everywhere (this is also new for me). Hope something good comes out!
