First roll back from my (new) Leica M2
« on: October 12, 2008, 06:52:40 AM »
With a Voigtlander 28mm/2.  And I developed my own film for the first time in ...over 20 years.  This is fun.

I love all of these... street photography made creates the most amazing record of urban human existence... especially of the times in which it was made. Thanks for sharing!

Nice batch of images, they are all well balanced exposures especially like the first one.

Nighttime on the Dupont Circle metro station escalator in DC.  Neopan 1600 pushed one stop.  I want to have its babies.

All three are sooooper nice. Loving the first on especially. A bit 70s sci-fi in that light!

Thanks.

I used Tmax developer.  I was trying out both Neopan 1600 (shot at 3200) and Tmax 3200 for nighttime work and the Neopan just has so much more richness and detail in the blacks -- not overly contrasty - plus finer grain than the Tmax 3200.  I've found my super high-speed film.
