Colors are really beautiful. Can you tell us about your digital processing ?

Thanks Rob and Stevenson ! Three more shots of difficult to impossible metering situations. I thing the metering circuit did it well.

Thank you Pete. I used my brave CNC mill. No way for the gnomes ;-)

It took me two rolls of "garden gnomes and parked cars" ( www.leicalensesfornormalpeople.com ) for evaluating basic things like light tightness and metering - i will not share with you. But the first "realworld" photos with the Ricoh GR 28 shot on Ultramax 400. Exposure is on the long side...

Look cool :-)

Fascinating place and good captures. If it was film i would say portra, but on i digital media i do not really understand the colors...

I think there is a lot of tension. Not at all boring for me.

I like the Photo, but the "look" looks to digital (artificial) for me. Like turnig clarity to minus ?

Dear Photographers, Have you tried the Wolfen Color Film C41 process ? I had some lens tests to do, and took a Wolfen NC500 i bought some weeks ago. Here is a Portra left and the Wolfen right. I have only seen such a green basis color on very long expired film. It is kind of logical that...

Ready for some test shots:

Thank you folks ! As i knew allready, i could not keep the ME electronics, i had to create a simple analogue circuit. (audio circuits are my profession) The plan was to do it with only one transistor, a capacitor and two light dependent resistors (LDR) Mounting the LDRs in a way they measure...

There are so many different cameras out there, perfect designed little miracles of engineering. One of them must fit anybodies preference. Yes? No? except maybe you want a 24 x 24 mm square format film camera ? For interchangeable lenses ? Auto exposure ? and a flange focal distance as short as...

Hi Brian, The wheel rotates 1,5 times per frame. So my film-advance is 6 teeth (25mm) per frame. Perfect for 54 images of 24x24mm per roll. Have a nice day, Alex.

Hi Pete, I am using a modified Pentax ME. Equipped with a 4 teeth film-transport wheel (instead of 6) and square frames on the film plane and the focusing screen. Before that i used a robot for a short period. A lovely camera but to imprecise for perfect film plane.

My name is Alex. I am a technician for analog recording-studio gear. Shooting film for years now and still having fun taking the "long" way to my image. I am a color shooter and i keep a particular format given by the camera. For the last months it had been the square (24x24mm) In the world of...
