Alsfeld is a small German town with a very nice old part.
Last sunday, on mother's day, we went there for a short walk and some ice cream.
Of course, I brought my camera. I wanted to try my "new" Kiron 2.0/28. Pretty good lens, that is!
The first 4 photos were taken with the Kiron.

And those two pics were shot with the Zenitar 2.8/16 (which needed to get some fresh air again...). PP with PTLens.

Hope you like them...

Nice work on those old city details, Carsten. It's always nice to have those glimpses at hand when one goes out with the camera!

Hi!
You can use this link, Attila: http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=50.754457&lon=9.271471&z=14.1&r=0&src=ggl
It is about 3/4 of an hour driving from the place we live.
BTW, in picture 3 you see an old pillory.
Nowadays there is a restaurant called "Zum Pranger" (Pranger = pillory). Nice place to eat, isn't it?
@Orio: Yes, f2 is not bad for 28mm. This is the reason why I bought it. I already have really good 28mm lenses: Vivitar 2.8/28 (Komine), Vivitar 2.5/28 (Kiron), Pentax SMC 2.8/28 (and the Canon EF 2.8/28 is not bad either).
But f2 was a good reason. Plus, I got it for € 10,-
Now, to your question: It is pretty good wide open. I yet have to do some really telling shots, but the first ones were more than promising.
This Kiron 2.0/28 has got a PK-mount.
This is what it looks like at my Ricoh:

Yes, Michael, this is always a point of discussion.
I am a black&white fan and esp. for this sujet I need to transfer the pics into b&w. It is just my personal preference, my bias. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

Great B&W series, Carsten! Lots of detail and exposures are spot-on!
Hard to pick a favorite since they are all good captures, but I especially
like the first one, should be in a travel book!

Actually, you have been very good in focusing on this! Because there was something that felt unusual for me too in these photographs, but I could not focus on it. Yes, where is the people, and I would also add, where are the cars, bicycles, etc., as I can only see a couple of cars in the far background of the last picture!
Maybe the historical part of the city is closed to traffic?
But that would not explain the absence of walking people anyway!
Now that with your help I focused better, I have to say that the atmosphere in these pictures feels quite surreal - it somehow reminds me of an old British TV series (I am talking of the 60s or 70s, can't remember), where there was this huge epidemy and almost everyone died except for a few survivors, who walked in the barren streets of these countryside villages.
This does not detract from the beauty of Carsten's pictures, it just maybe gives them a twist in an unexpected direction! _________________ Orio, Administrator

The B&W also accentuates that IMHO. _________________ Orio, Administrator

I think it's cool this way. It's like "The Omega Man" euro-style!
People would interfere with the clean lines of the buildings. In B&W, it
does give it a creepy aspect, like a virulent biological agent was let
loose and this is the aftermath.

Hey, this thread has moved into an interesting direction...
1) No people: Yes, this is kind of striking, isn't it. Actually, I shot those photos without people on purpose. As fas as I am concerned, I either shoot street photography (with people) or architecture (concentrating on the visual effect or even impact that buildings have and thus if possible without people). Still, I find it interesting that these pics create this impression you mention of a deserted city. This was not intended.
2) Zenitar: Excellent lens. You really should get it! Lahnet, I'm sure you will like it. For Zenitar-users I can strongly recommend PTLens - great program! _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

That's right, Rob. I was really happy when I found this lens and I can definitely recommend it, esp. for a crop-DSLR. I mean, at my 350D it's somewhat similar to a 2.0/45...
And thanks again, Rob, for the PTLens recommendation! It is such a great application. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!
