Black and white photography is about contrast with me. Sure I like nice grays in an image but certainly not too much. I need whites and blacks. Recently I lucked into a stash of perforated 35mm Fomamures microfilm and set to shooting it in a Leica IIIc. Let me tell you the story and show you the shots.

Theater De Kolk in Assen sloot zijn deuren (in afwachting van sloop en nieuwbouw) op 31 januari 2006.
Op 1 februari meldde ik mij om 10 uur bij de ingang van het (voormalig) theater om foto’s van het interieur te maken, nu alle lichten aan waren. Desondanks had ik een paar flitsers meegenomen.

Some say that the Minolta 7S is lacking. It must be, since there’s a Minolta 7S-II, right? And in the eyes of many, newer is better so a model II should have improvements.
But I’m telling you, the Minolta 7S is the most complete rangefinder I ever encountered. It fits my bill 100% and to me it’s the all-in-one rangefinder camera!

While I truly enjoy my screw mount Leicas, it took me a long time to find their SLR counterpart. While essentially it really shouldn’t have been that hard, once you think about it.
I know Leica built some truly terrific early Leicaflexes, but they are more related to the M series rangefinders than to the earlier screw mount cameras.
Same time, the Russians copied the early Leica II and went on from there to produce a Single Lens Reflex camera. Enter the Zenit line of SLR cameras from the early 1960s! Incredible fun for petty cash!

Medium Format is the bee’s knees for film shooters. It’s where you can shoot film and rival the image quality from digital files, while retaining the signature lower contrast film look. And did you know that 6×7 is the designated press and artist’s format! This article extensively discusses your 6×7 options!
This article contains a list of the screw mount Leica models, from the early 1913 Ur-Leica to the Leica Ig from 1960, the last screw mount model. Brief descriptions and images from official Leitz brochures are included.
At the end of the Second World War, the cover of an American comic depicted a female Army photographer named Linda Lens hitting a German soldier knock out with a Kodak Medalist on a strap.
Impressive for sure but to make a real impression (on a soldier’s helmet or elsewhere), I’d advise the Mamiya RB67.
Jozefkerk. Assen, 6 mei 2018.
Eén van de foto’s uit een serie waar ik aan werk, ‘Assen, Stad van Dromen’. Dit is de Jozefkerk in Assen.
Dromen zijn bedrog, dat weten we allemaal. Maar we hebben ze nodig om de dagelijkse werkelijkheid niet allesoverheersend te laten worden.
Mijn bedoeling met deze serie in wording is om de dromen van verre reizen, witte stranden en andere culturen, een ‘evenknie’ te geven uit de dagelijkse werkelijkheid. Zodat die daarmee wat meer te verdragen wordt.
Mamiya RB67 with 50mm Mamiya-Sekor C and Fomapan 100 film.
