Re: PESO: ist D black and white

[Paul Stenquist]

Nice shots. Some great moments captured here. In terms of the 
conversion, I find the mid range grays to be a bit too heavy. For 
example, I think the faces of those who are obviously caucasion are 
generally darker than a good tri-x print would render them. You might 
open them in PS, go to curves and pull down the middle of the curve a 
bit. But then again, you might prefer them just the way they are. In 
any case, some very good work here.

Slowly, I am getting familiar with the ist D as a street camera. Today
I went out shooting, trying to forget that it is a digital camera that
takes color, and thinking as I usually do, in black and white.
Of all lenses, I took the FA 16-45, it seemed like a pity to let it
gather dust while I use only primes.
All these six pictures are istD/FA16-45, taken to BW in Photoshop via
channel mixer, using settings that try to imitate how Tri-X renders
color tones:
