I assume, because Pentax and Ricoh is one company now, I can post the first roll from my diy restored Ricoh Diacord G. Ilford fp4 + 125. Processed and scanned in store.

Nice ones.The first two are particularly good; crisp and sharp.

Here is a portrait I took one late evening around 10-11 o´clock in summer bright Reykjavik. I shot it hand held and braced, with the mirror locked up, wide open and, as I recall it, at 1/30sec. So, Im happy it came out this good

This is a downsized copy of a 25mp 1200dpi Epson V750 scanned tiff file using Silverlight 6.6 ai set at manual USM and auto correction of levels and curves, with a slight Photoshop color adjustment afterwards.

Thank you arnold.
I'm not very happy with this shop scan. DR is very narrow so some details were lost on left side of histogram.

Here's a Thanksgiving morning twilight shot from Sausalito, CA. I used the SMC A-120mm Macro on the 645D for this. 2-exposure HDR.

Is it some kind of wedding thing? Or just a really odd coupling of sorts? Great shot anyway. Regards

It was an elopement, so we just went around town and took some pictures.
Thank you!

Okey, as i promised here a couple of photo's of my pentax 645d, all photo's are made with the FA 55 mm 2.8

typical shot of the eifeltower

Arabic libary in paris

big cow

@blackcat
Eifeltower is an nice shot
Libary is far to abstract for me
Shot from the cow could use some more contrast in my opinion

The Eiffel Tower shot is not typical...it's quite good. I like the abstract library shot. As for the last one...moo

Enjoy them. I do not normally work with zoom lenses but that FA 45-80 is a very special lens. Big, but absolutely stunning images. Once you start shooting you forget all about the size and weight. I actually enjoy and use all my 645 lenses but I think I could actually live with just that one.

Blackcat · 12-03-2013, 01:55 PM

Hello Pioneer,
on my analog camera's i also didn't use any zoom lenses (i've tried the pentax 67 55-100mm, but that lens is huge and heavy

. Compaired to my pentax 67 lenses even the 45-80 is a normal weight lens

.
This lens gives me just a bit more freedom and it is on my camera 90% of the time.

In the futher I would love to compair the 35 against the 33-55 but at the moment i have enough lenses (and the 25 is out of my reach at the moment).

grtz
