Hey Hoppy!

"I would appreciate though, some opinions on the best value of the options
from circa 1954", and IMHO still today!

Salud!
Luis

Jeffery where's the challenge and satisfaction of handing that film over to
a lab? Unless they have that 777 stuff that you are fond
of?
Back on the M3's I had a passing notion about acquiring a period appropriate
50 to use with it. That was shortly before pricing the
current summilux asph to replace my current Summicron (on the M7). Yikes.
Maybe it makes sense to use the current Summicron for
both.
I would appreciate though, some opinions on the best value of the options
from circa 1954.

Cheers
Hoppy

If I were smart and didn't need my results so quickly, I would leave much of
my B&W film at the local lab. He does magical things with XTOL that I have
never been able to repeat at home.

Hi Jeffery, The 50 is magical, okay, but the magnificent viewfinder of the
M3 with the 50 forms a dream equipment..., on these pictures I have used
different films, on the details of each one is indicated, there are TMY100,
TMY400, Agfa APX100, and TriX. I don't know the developer, I've head
problems on the last films I've developed at home, here the water is very
"hard" and contains many spots and calcius and I give my films to a
professional Lab.

Thank you very much for looking Jeffery!

Saludos cordiales,
Luis

A very nice set, Luis. I tend to agree more with "The magical power of the
50mm". Although I used a 35mm as a standard lens for decades, the 50 works
better for people shots unless you are willing and able to get right in
their faces.

What did you use for film/developer in these?

Hi all,
 
I think I can say something like "The magical power of the M3". I realize
that when I only take the M3 with the 50 I compose the pictures on a
different manner than when I go with more equipment or with other M's, you
are forced to be concentrated on only one way of visual effort.
 
I have posted the first 7 pictures (the first two rangs) you can find on:  
 
 http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder.tcl?folder_id=554353

 
Except the two first that I'm not sure if I've used the Elmar 50, the other
5 are with the Summicron 50. All of them are take in Barcelona last August. 
 
Thanks in advance for looking, commenting and critics
 
Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis
