Re: GESO - Monochrome Summer
Hi Toralf: What an interesting summer project! It's a nice set. On my monitor the bw rendering looks a tad flat, but YMMV. I like a little more pop, but I know that's subjective. Great set and good luck with your project.

I must admit, though, that I find it hard to judge how much tonal adjustment exactly ought to be applied. Some of it is always needed, as raw bw film scans definitely look flat, at least with my scanner. Great set and good luck with your project.

RE: GESO - Monochrome Summer
Lovely renderings. I wonder what a compare to digital view of same would have been, e.g. take same view with a film and a digital camera.

Re: GESO - Monochrome Summer
A fine gallery, Toralf. T'ain't nuthin' wrong with that lens. Seems like a future classic, well priced too. Funny that some folks have been complaining there's no reasonably fast normal lens in the Pentax lineup.

Like I said earlier, it sort of brings cheap plastic feel to a whole new level, but I can live with that as long as the lens works optically. And this also means it's really light, which can be very convenient. Funny that some folks have been complaining there's no reasonably fast normal lens in the Pentax lineup. Well, you've got to have *something* to complain about... - Toralf On Sun, Aug 4, 2013 at 11:04 AM, Toralf Lund tor...@toralf.net wrote: Some more from my recent experiments with a DA-35/2.4 AL, on a film camera: http://se.toralf.net/post/57242528169/monochrome-summer You may wish to note that these shots are essentially uncropped; I've trimmed the images every so slightly where the scanner left skewed or jagged edges, but that's it.

RE: GESO - Monochrome Summer
It was more to get an impression of how film vs. digital BW looks to the end user/viewer. Is the 'feeling' you get looking at the 2 images the same or somehow different because it is film? If you were to crop them to same view then you could use those to get opinions.
