Hustle & Bustle
View On Black to really see this old lens and it's character
Experiment with an old classic Voigtländer Vitomatic IIa with F/2 50mm Ultron lens (1962 - 1963) .
I love this old vitomatics and how they render colour, you can see results in some older sets. I decided to try it with B&W Film using my usual mix of Ilford HP5+ and developed in XTOL 1:1 so I could compare the results to my usual Nikon F80 with 50mm F1.4 D lens.
These are straight neg scans untouched by digital malarkey. I am frankly loving the results and contrast it gives. It is hard to estimate if it is as sharp , I don't think it is but it has a characteristic that is not unpleasant , View Large to see for yourself.
