I was excited to get this roll back. I took this alongside some of the Helios 40 and Jupiter 9 pictures that were posted several weeks ago. I really wanted to try the lens at wide-open (f3.5) and close distances to see what kind of character it had. The first picture was the only one where lighting allowed that. It is the closet that the moskva can focus. The others were stopped down a bit. All were taken at 1/250th, handheld. Scanned on the v700.

On a side note: I was having a really rough day. I initially mounted my m39 mir-1 on the A850 but chose not to use that. I only had one m39 to m42 adapter with me so I had to switch it from lens to lens. But when trying to take that adapter off it sliced up my hand. Imagine really deep paper cuts. I gave up on the a850 for a little while, switching to the moskva. The moskva literally had blood all over it when I got it home. So truly, a serious part of myself went into these photos.

Really beautiful photos with an incredibly beautiful light.
This shows to anybody who think you can only take pictures with full sunlight, how wrong they are!
Was the last one posed, or a snapshot? I would have used that beautiful location for a more romantic portrait.

The last is just a 'quick' snap. I probably should have taken another, more formal picture. We were on top of a stone look-out tower in Litchfield Connecticut. It was fairly early in the walk so I wanted to reserve some of the last photos for later on. Unfortunately for that set I exposed more for Anastasia's surroundings than for her, so there wasn't much detail to be pulled from her dark attire.

I see no problem with the exposure. It was correct to expose for the ambient there. I oppose the idea that every detail must be made visible in any part of the photograph. Dark colours are supposed to be dark and you can't see much detail in the dark. Also psychologically this exposure fits well in the scene. I regard it as perfect.
My only objection is that what she's doing takes some of the poetry away.

I agree with you 100%. Actually I was referring to the set taken after the tower. Those were exposed in a way that made her figure very dark. I don't mind her black shirt being dark but without acceptable exposure for the face, the image doesn't work. I can post them if you're interested. Just let me know.

The ones I've shown here are good exposure wise, I think.
