Share some RF shots....

[Junyi-]

My first ever shot with a rangefinder,
With a Bessa R (vertically misaligned though blehh)
35mm, F1.7
ISO 400.

But anyway, half my other shots are blurred (keep forgetting to focus), so its a bit frustrating haha.
Diving into street photography now...

Just came back from Bali this morning, attended a friend's wedding in Ritz Carlton. A very beautiful hotel and a super beautiful, romantic wedding... Will post pic of the chapel once my colour negatives are processed. Meanwhile... some B&W which I washed in the afternoon.

This place is in Denpasar market, beside a very big drain. Seems like a temple or place of worship. It was some special day on Saturday, hence people dressed up and gave offerings to their "subject of worship"...

Bali is a very nice place... people are very nice & friendly and love to pose for photo-taking too...

Taken with a 12mm/f5.6 on Lucky SHD 100.

Oooo.. 12mm... Nice!

I noticed that the corners don't seem as sharp as the centre, is that because of DOF or it's the lens?

Thanks...

Very few photos posted with the 12mm... I hope I can wet your appetite further...

Yes, the lens is so wide that it display some distortion and blur on the edge of the lens when there is not enough light.

Another shot taken indoor. It was a very hot Saturday afternoon, stopped by a shop by the street and had a drink. Then I noticed something very interesting the lady was selling... it was like our Singapore ice-kachang, but didn't have the kachang. With lots of flies flying around... I told myself... what the hack! I'm going to get drunk and wasted tonight anyway... so ordered one bowl and tried... She was less than a meter away from my Bessa L + 12mm... and I can capture almost the entire shop.... what a lens....

haha btw, I just snapped that at the bus stop cause I was bored waiting for the bus! I was also poisoned by tt lens.. but bear in one a couple of things:

1. Its big, as large as a DSLR lens (ard size of a 50mm F1.8 nikkor or canon) so it kinda makes your RF bulky : / that's the main reason why I sold it away

2. If you're using a Bessa R, the Nokton will partially block your viewfinder. I partially solved this prob by removing the lens hood and attaching a simple UV filter

3. Color warmth, the Nokton images on the cool side, this will be evident on people shots but not a big deal for most. For me however, I like warm images so Nokton was not the best in this area

4. Spoilt by F1.5 I got poisoned by F1.5.. kept using it indiscriminately... : P so for a while I kept messing up my portrait snaps cus the DOF is super shallow lol

All in all however.. it is a great lens.. esp for the price!

M6 with 35mm Summicron ASPH. Kodak Tri-X in HC110.

IF its soft, its my problem. I can't seem to estimate the distance when shooting from the hip. The Summicron can definitely do much much better than that in sharpness.

Nokton 35mm looks tempting!
