Great set, Carsten, looks like your family had a great time! I like the clouds
you caught in some of these pics, I hardly ever see such formations where
I live.

That Minolta Hi-Matic is certainly a keeper!

Beautifully clean images, I get a feeling of spacious light and excitement from observing these shots. The last image with the Hi-Matic shows GREAT ability to collect the light values and delivers superb color and sharpness.

Carsten, these are lovely. The Jessop's film was excellent.

That marina shot was difficult by the look of it - a nice capture. Overall, they are really illustrative of a great camera, surprisingly good film, decent lenses and somebody who knows how to use them.

Wow, I've been waiting for these! Smile The exposures and colours are superb, even with cheap old Jessops film. You've caught that mystical quality of the light in the North absolutely perfectly, especially the one of Nele on the beach. The graininess is much less noticeable when the exposure is correct.

Do you remember when I had vignetting problems with a shade on the MIR-1 too? Smile

Nice set - I particularly like the chairs and your daughter on the beach.

Thanks very much, gentlemen. I am really glad that you like these shots.

Each of these three cams is a gem: the Spotmatic SPII is my favourite film cam (Peter, that was such a great present!), it just feels so good and produces excellent results, the Leica C2 is an almost perfect AF point'n'shoot cam with a very nice lens (the flares in the cloud-and-sea-shot are pretty harmless for such a situation!) and the Hi-Matic E seems to be a wonderful little rangefinder.

Thank you guys for having me "tasting film blood" again. Laughing
The top compartment of our fridge is filled with rolls now. Wink

Digital really is becoming boring for me now. I seem to get much more sense of achievement using film.

Yeah, funny, isn't it?

I shot with this lens so often digitally that I completely forgot about the wider FoV on film...

Even stranger, I think my shots were taken with the same camera! Smile

Excellent. Someday your children will look back at these.
