Yesterday I was in an odd mood and tried to make some backlight shots
Sony Alpha 900
Minolta AF50mm f1.4 @f14
Developed and slightly cropped in LR3.6
I think I've had enough with micro 4/3 sensors. Next stop is probably an aps-c camera again but in a similar size as the GX1. The new Nex-6 seems nice. Fuji X-E1 is too slow and cumbersome. Not that the Nex series have understandable menus on the other hand but you get more bang for the bucks and it feels more modern. I think I'm not really suited for these post-modern retro camera form factors. They feel somewhat counter-productive. As long as you can attach vintage lenses I think the nex series are better for me. I'll see.
- my main purpose in posting this photo is that I'm impressed at the sharpness of this shot at 357mm (which is equivalent to 2000mm in 35mm terms)
Olympus OM2N Film Camera.
24MM Lens.
Filter IR720 with Cokin Diffusser 002.
Rollei Retro 80S.
This was a challenge, the light was changing so rapidly and I was faced with Backlight at the same time, I had no choice but to just Bracket the Exposure, using an OM2n everything must be done by me, these manual cameras are slow to use.Tip: when using a Diffusser on a wide angle lens, open the Apeture up more or else you will lose the effect, this was shot at F4.
A Cokin Diffusser was used, which I knew would calm down the contrast on Rollei Retro, this is more of a contrasty film than Efke IR820.

Wet streets, setting sun, two girlfriends.
Despite the distance, I'm quite sure the girl on the right spotted me.
