Your pictures shows that even at great apertures the lens show good detail and contrast. On the other hand it is a very pocketable lens with a LTM Leica body. Saludos cordiales Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Leonard Taupier Enviado el: mi?rcoles, 16 de abril de 2008 2:17 Para: Leica Users Group Asunto: [Leica] IMG: Doors The following photos were from the first roll of film I took with my (new) Leica Black/Nickel III and a 5cm nickel 3.5 Elmar. The body was made in 1934 and badly needs a CLA. The lens was made no later then 1932 but the serial number pre-dates the serial number list I have. The photos were shot with Tmax100 in Xtol 1:1 and the lens set somewhere between f4.5 and f9. The photos are as scanned and not sharpened. I think two of the shots were cropped slightly. The first photo contains a self portrait which I could not avoid. http://tinyurl.com/6dcnzo http://tinyurl.com/6xpuhz http://tinyurl.com/6olo9c http://tinyurl.com/6xm95m Thanks for looking, Len _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
