Nikon 60mm f2.8 macro – Page 2

Portrait of a Camera

The photos out of this lens and camera are lovely . . . it’s a year younger than me, too, and in considerably better shape and a lot better looking.

Patterns

Elongated, shortened – cast shadows add so much to our visual worlds.

The Dog Walker’s Shirt

The best shirt of all to wear on brewing day!

Sewing

I’ve had this stuff lying around. More UFOs. When will I learn?

Film

Lately I am shooting a lot of film. Hopefully I will be processing some once I master the Lab-Box, first in black and white, and then later in color if I find the frustration level not frustrating!

Anyway, here are a few pictures taken with my N90s and 60mm macro lens, which I dropped, but do not seem to have damaged either. The film here is Fuji Pro 400H, which is great for color.

If you take a look at the camera in the pictures above, you will see it is a Contax IIIa ca. 1953. It has a rather amazing lens, a Zeiss-Opton Sonnar 50mm f1.5. It’s sharp and lovely when I nail it. Being a rangefinder and a new-to-me camera, I am still learning to “get” the focus. The following images were taken using the camera along with Fuji Super 200. Some pictures I did with the Sunny 16 rule, a light meter, or the suggestions from the camera’s readout.
