The whole point of having an maximum aperture of f1.1 is shooting at it, Otherwise you just end up with a big 50mm lens! A friend borrowed the Nokton 50mm f1.1 and liked it - and found it quite comfortable on the camera.

Rmpty lot at Davie and Burrard. By designating the land as a
"community garden" - the owner of the property doesn't have to pay tax on it until it is ready to be developed!
Small change for downtown parking meters! They are hungry - and though they can take the 1$ and 2$ coins - I like filling them up with dimes and quarters!
Cropped about 50% and shot at f2.8
The focus and sharpness improves markedly once you stop the Orion 28 f6.0 down to f11. Still not as good as the Summaron 28mm f5.6 though. It does have a nice mid tone rendition due to the low contrast.
It is dark under the overhanging roof. This is at f2/8 and the 25 has enough depth of field to hold it together. Damned good lens - probably the best of the ZM lenses overall.
A test shot to determine how exact the R4M's 28 mm frame lines are. I intentionally oriented the stone benches to be diagonal - and "hit" the corners! No cropping - straight scan. Most rangefinders are less than precise under these circumstances - usually show a bit more than you bargained for.
This Magnolia x veitchii is located in the Rhododendron Garden (Bed 71A) in the San Francisco Botanical Gardens
"Magnolia x veitchii is a hybrid created in 1907 by Peter Veitch at the Royal Nurseries in England. Its exquisite pink-white chalice-shaped flowers are the result of Veitch's attempt to create a magnolia as beautiful as its parents, hardier, and with an extended blooming season. To create this hybrid, Veitch placed the pollen from a Magnolia denudata (jade lily) onto a flower of Magnolia campbellii (cup and saucer magnolia). The result was the first recorded hybrid of M. campbellii and a tree that embraced the best traits of both its parents. This new hybrid combined the large pink flowers of Magnolia campbellii with the upright tepals and almost pure-white flower of Magnolia denudata. Other desired traits included the upright growth habit of M. campbellii with an earlier and longer bloom season. Magnolia x veitchii flowered as early as seven years from vegetative propagation and seedlings, from the cross, flowered within 10 years (some of which became named cultivars). Magnolia campbellii can take up to 10–12 years from vegetative propagation and up to 20 years to flower from seed. "

The kid in the lower right hand corner realized that he was not going to be able to jump this roadblock - and promptly fell off his bike.
Classic Thunderbird. Not as good looking as the 1955/56 version but it still has style and presence. OK, with todays diminished parking spaces, it would be a hassle to park - but wafting along freeways would be comfortable.
I was concerned that the buildings out on the horizon would show up in a 360. Yeah, the size of a pinhead, haha. FP4 in Pyrocat
Decorator Dog!
I added some time to my Pyrocat HD in this batch. The Orwo UN 54 came out a bit "died" but still OK. I suspect that the developer has now reached its usefulness. Need to decide what developer t use next, maybe D23 two bath or FX 37. Both work well with 100 iso film, though the D23 allows me to throw 100 and 400 iso films in the same tank.
Photographed September 2017 / Kodak Monitor Six-20 with Kodak 'Special' Anastigmat 101mm/4.5 lens. ILFORD HP5 PLUS rated ASA 320 developed in PYROCAT-HD (5ml A + 25ml B > 600ml, 6min 20 sec, 20*C). Negative was illuminated on a light table and scanned with an iPad mini using film scanner app. The image was then processed and finished in Flickr. Notice the line of evenly spaced dots visible on right edge of photograph. These are an artefact of the Kodak Monitor film transport mechanism.

Photographed July 2018 / Canon FP 35mm SLR with Canon lens mount Convertor 'E' and Meyer Optik Gorlitz Helioplan 40mm/4.5 lens. Film was Ilford PAN 100 metered at ASA 80 developed in PYROCAT-HD (6ml A + 25ml B > 600ml, 5min 50sec, 20*C).Image was scanned in a JUMBL scanner unit, image processed & finished in Flickr. Note the superb tonal scale and tonal seperation obtainable with this film / developer combination especially the whites which are in no way 'blocked up'.
Decorative brick work - stopped down to f11. The old Nikkor 35mm f2.5 is a respectable "oldie" This is a chrome version and heavy - smooth as silk in the focus. and just as unreadable f-stops hidden in the barrel as the other 35mm f2.5s.

5 Day Kirbys Coach holiday to Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Rutland with Hotel stay in Lincoln. First Excursion was to BELVOIR CASTLE home of Duke and Duchess of Rutland. Here are B&W on my 1956 AGFA ISOLETTE III + 75mm f3.5 SOLINAR, outdated ILFORD FP4+ processed in PYROCAT HD I used a YELLOW FILTER to cut the Haze on this one. View from Castle Car Park
Ilford PanF for portraits!
Again I tried to learn the film with a bit different lighting.
Put shadows in zone IV and developed in PyrocatHD.
The results are completely different than with PanF+Tetenal combinations.
Pyro seem to save every bit of information in transitions while preserving high values and the look seems more...even but not flat in any way!
PanF can cetrainly be a choice for man portrait!
Exposure (I think) was about 12 seconds @ F-16 with a Hoya R72 Filter. This was a straight print on an enlarger. No photoshop alterations at all.
