fomapan 400. nikon n75. voigtlander 90mm 1:3.5 diafine #37.

I have 3 portrait lenses. The Nikon 85mm 1:1.8G, the Nikon 85mm 1:1.8D, and the Voigtlander APO-LANTHAR 90mm 1:3.5 SL. The Voigtlander is unique because it can focus up to a foot closer than the other lenses. There is also a close-up lens attachment that moves it within a foot of your subject.

I bought the lens about 6 years ago from the photographer Ming Thein (http://www.mingthein.photography). The lens has been replaced with a 1:2.8 Aperture, but the close focusing is now 3 feet.

These images were shot on a dark day with intermittent showers. I did not push the film. I wanted to see how Fomapan 400 at box speed developed in Diafine works.

I visited Seattle on Saturday. I first went to a camera show where I shot a roll of Ilford Delta 3200 with the Nikon FM3a. I bought a camera at the show for $5. It is a Sears 10B Rangefinder with a 40mm 1:2.8 Lens. I will shoot a roll this week and let you know how it went. I have not found a manual online for the camera. There is one feature I cannot locate. I read that the camera accepts 100 to 400 ISO film, but I do not know where on the camera you set it. Until I learn that, I will meter the scene.

Later I went downtown and shot a roll of Ilford HP5 plus. I also shot some images with the Nikon Df, with a 28mm Lens attached. We will soon see the results.

I scanned the negatives with the PrimeFilm XEs film scanner with VueScan software.
