Re: PESO - Film Day 2
Isn't it refreshing and liberating not to worry about the dynamic range, the pixel count, the signal to noise ratio and white balance settings, Paul? You certainly still got it!

Re: PESO - Film Day 2
Thanks Don. They're scanned negs. I spent about a year shooting almost exclusively with that lens about a dozen years ago. It has a subtlety that I like. The high contrast look came with multi coating techniques. Paul On Feb 22, 2013, at 4:18 PM, Don Guthrie wrote: > I think this is my favorite of the set.

I think this is my favorite of the set. But I agree it lacks a smidge of contrast by today's standard. Still it looks pretty balanced.
