The Bessie and Sonnar lens is a great combo! I like the second shot of
Monica, and the one right after it, the column and arch study. Orio, do
you like the Bessie? And are these your own scans?

Edit: The Pancolar lens is purty good, too! |

Yes, because of the viewfinder. I have many M42 lenses and so far could never focus them really well, because I had only old and dusty Prakticas.
With the Bessie, I have a large, bright and totally clean viewfinder. Manual focusing is a joy with the Bessie and I would recommend it just for that.
Another bonus is that it's light meter is very accurate.

yes

And consider that I left these two shots unsharpened, because if I did sharpen them, it wwould have been too much for a portrait.

Thanks Laurence. That was precisely my purpose, I wanted to make the crowd anonymous, you read into the shot very well.
I personally am very happy of shot #3.
Reading the light was very difficult, I was on film, so no histogram etc., and I did not have a hand meter either. So my experience went in measuring that. It turned out absolutely perfect.

With the revelation that you used no meter, this is a fabulous outcome. With slide film there are no compromises!
There are many variables to consider here, with the range of light values being almost stultifying. You are correct in saying it came out perfect. The light areas did not wash out, yet you preserved the shadow detail.
An exceptional image, actually. One needs to only look at the area at the top of the column and see the fine detail. The image truly was a great candidate for B&W conversion, and you did it justice.
You should consider a print from something like this - perhaps a nice 5x7 with a large white matting and thin black frame...to sit on a desk somewhere as a classic accessory.
Awesome. _________________

My favs are #2 (what a nice smile!) and #3 (excellent light-shadow-play!).
But #4 is also excellent. It is an atypical photo, one that you do not see often- and that's what I like!
On second thought, you know what? The blurred area (with the people in #4) makes this picture timeless. Since you cannot see the clothing, it could have been taken in the 50s as well as yesterday! I really like that! _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!
