I shoot film, in this case a Kodak Potra, ISO 800 on a Pentax ME with a 28mm SMC f3.5 prime lens. The lens is a stellar lens, producing rich vibrant colours and has reputation for great skies
I think the lens passes with flying colours and the Rose Garden looked great with white and pink blossoms agains the spring greens
@sakkasie April thanks for your lovely words . I have three olds Pentax SMC manual focus lenses , 28mm f3.5 , 50mm f1.7 and 55mm f1.8 . They all render lovely colours in film and digital (Sony A7 , A6000 with an adapter ) . I also have a 135mm but the aperture is stuck wide open
Great clarity and color rendering. A friend is buying the new leica with a 28mm. He normally shoots 85mm on his dslr so I'm interested to see what he does with the wide angle. Especially since the camera is close to $6000. He's a wonderful photographer so I'm sure he'll do well but it will be a change to get used to. I'm interested in your choice of 800 film. I usually choose 400 for daytime. Any reason you chose the 800?
@jackies365 Jackie a Leica is my dream camera , but out of my budget. My late father had an old film Leica from the 1950s that he bought in the late 60s. As for the choice of iso 800 I'd seen some good reviews on geek websites and when I'm out and about with my digital camera I sometimes find iso 400 isn't fast enough , so I went 800.
