Also shot with the Voigtländer Color-Ultron 1.4/55 AR in my favourite café at lunch break...

Nice Pics, Carsten.

Do you always take two cameras to lunch? Or the Olympus was just a "model"? Laughing

I notice a very good performance of the Ultron at close focusing range.
Look at the rendition of dark leatherette detail in pic#2
I bet that if you use it with extension tubes, it wil become an excellent macro lens!

These are lovely shots. I like the boxy Oly's - the original Trip's another great looking compact.

*brrrrrr*
And spending much money for this crap Shocked

Don't worry, they are on the way to capture germany. It seems that every day when I visit the town center a small shop closes and some of the coffee chains open one of their shops with plastic emulation of real atmosphere.

Wonderful warm pictures, Carsten.

I have the same coffee filter at home - the heck with Starbucks. Real coffee is a novelty in the US - they used to recycle washing up water until quite recently. Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Carsten and Iha

I love this kind of camera porn. It is fun to take cameras "out to lunch"! No? Plus they always put out if you tickle them just so. Unluck the usual lunch date Twisted Evil Laughing

Nice, I like the second one. Its harder (for me) to deal with out of focus foreground objects.

Thanks for your feedback, guys!
(Strangely I just realised today that there are so many comments in this thread. It did not show up on my "new posts since last visit" list. Question )

Yes, I love to shoot this subject.
And actually I love a good coffee, although my doctor would be mad if she knew about that. My stomach reacts on too much coffee. That's why I mostly drink Espresso - much better for a sensitive stomach. Wink

Believe it or not, I like Starbucks, but we do not have one in Marburg.
But we have this excellent café called "Die Bohne". The owner roasts the beams himself. And he is a dab hand at that!

Something happened to the forum post-counting over the past 24 hours. Now it doesn't mark as read various threads for me unless I manually mark all posts read and quit the individual forum. Then I have to refresh the index manually.

A couple more in the same theme. Unfortunately I don't have any cute collectible retro cameras as subjects so you either get a MF photo of an AF camera, or an AF photo of a manual camera.

Isn't the D4- +CV40 a cute combination, though?

Either combination looks great, but the Nikon with the Ultron is a stunner!!!
(The first shot is the "better" photo, though.)


There is nothing like taking a short break in a nice café during a "photo tour" in a city and putting your cam next to a delicious cup a coffee... Cool

We've had an unofficial "get-togheter" in Barcelona, three affiliates of this great forum: Juanma, jlsa05 and myself.
Chinese food, and some talk about (what else?) MF lenses.
Juanma brought his Praktica with an impressive flekto, I brougth the FED-2 and Jlsa05 his Pentax...
And after lunch, some coffea as well:



(the unfocused one in the picture is jsla05)

And this is a "documental-only" picture...
Juanma is at right side, myself at left.

Whoa! Nice to see you together!
You should have asked a waiter to take a photo of all three!

Fantastic!

I only know very little Spanish but I would have loved to be with you!
Great to see you.

But tell me, I thought the little one was a Minox...

P.S.: That's an Industar-61 2.8/53 at your FED, right? You should try to get a fitting lens hood. Then this lens really is a stunner!

I thought the small camera with the fold-down cover below the lens was a Minox, too.

Carsten you did a bingo!, two of two guesses right.

The little one is the Minox, and the lens is the Industar-61. I know about the need of a hood after my first roll on this sunny country... (Orio diagnosed it after seen the first shots)
I ordered one from FEDKA, I'm waiting for it.

We're planning to meet from time to time, so if it happens that any of you gets dropped in Barcelona for any reason, we'll be very pleased of sharing "camera & coffea" with you. Smile (and lunch, of course!).
