I had an opportunity to take a walk in DUMBO / Vinegar Hill in Brooklyn NY this past Sunday, with two dogs and my Tamron adaptall SP 35-80 01a on the K100D. This area is Down Under the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges - full of old warehouses, lofts, some very gentrified, other parts still low cost artist's havens. There's a lot of street art, some sampled here.
All photos have some post processing - typically I dup the image, and blend it in 'soft light' to do a sort of selective contrast curve & color intensifier effect, and then adjust levels. The 01a responds well to this process, as it has very good resolution but tends to have lowish contrast.

Its nice to see areas we don't often see. I'm glad they are renovating. Sad to see areas go down and down and down.
I like the fancy double doorbell. Were the people all dressed up in #7 in a wedding or play or what?
Numbers 3-4-7-8 and 9 are my favorites. I think #9 is just fantastic. I love it. I never would have thought of it. _________________ Ron |

Love the peeling paint and brickwork!
I too shoot a lot with this lens, usually on the Pentax K10D but also the Panny L-1... What settings do you find best in Photoshop to bring out the contrast etc.? I have noticed that this lens is rather flat compared with my other favourite the eye popping Planar F1.4 50mm
Thanks,

As I use elements, and though I got a curves freeware via Bill, I have developed a method that seems to work, I gave a quick summary above, but will do it more justice here:
I dup the image. I blend it in 'soft light' - the % varies, but usually around 25-33% is a start, and then add a levels layer to take care of too much space to the left or right of the histogram, and perhaps adjust the mid point.
Soft light is a sort of situational contrast adder - it is less strong than (what is that other mode right above it?) - which deepens color in the dark areas and brightens up the lighter bits. The main impression I get it gives a bit of clarity or brilliance. Or something like that Makes it a bit film like. This particular lens benefits here, it has very good resolution but the contrast tends to be a bit flat. (On film I tended to shoot the contrastier formulations as a result)
Thanks for all the comments - I love finding those wheatpaste posters and photographing them, but their audience tends to be limited
I've had this lens for 25 years now.
It has always had some curvature at 35mm, and I like this on film. On digital crop, a) 35mm is a bit limited and b) the curvature is more bothersome for a 'normal' focal length. _________________ -Jussi
