Topic: Weekend 6th - 8th October 2023

[Kai-san]

I returned from my two months vacation last Sunday, so much of this week has been spent scanning film. Earlier this year I bought a Zeiss Sonnar 1.5/50mm from 1937. It's uncoated and rather soft, so I was wondering if it would be suitable for shooting forest scenes with open aperture. These were shot with aperture 2.0 and I quite like the result. I love the "bokeh" of this lens and my 1939 Contax II is doing it's job very nicely.

Welcome back Kai San. I envy the vacation but don't envy the endless scanning.
Nice start for the weekend!

Mine is a Holga shot of a "Cyclops" prickly pear at a campground i visited recently.
I'm infatuated with cactus out in the wild.

Thanks Becky! Love your cacti, but I'm glad they're not growing in the northern woods. I wouldnt like to stumble over one of those.

I'm always a sucker for succulents and cacti.
This summer I lost one that had been my friend for 30 years...

These days are super busy for me, but I did get a few more cameras 😎

Ah, a few cameras! If this continues you can open your own camera store.    I hope you will show us the treasures.

Although I dont often post, I do check out the weekend photos regularly.

Becky, you really have a unique eye. I really like the photos you post.

I sure will!
It's funny because at the prices I paid for them, it would have been really stupid to let them pass by 😁

I have a pile of film to develop when I get home, whenever that will be.  I’m still enjoying the weekend threads, keep up the great work!
