About ten days ago, I trudged out with the SL-66 on a tripod (first time outside the studio!). It turned out to be very windy. Wind bad for macro work! So I plucked a few fluffy subjects and brought them into the studio.
These were converted to black and white from Fujichrome Astia. If I do more of this, it'll be with proper black and white film (whenever I can score some 77mm filters for the RB and 140mm macro).
Some of these were shot with a 40mm tube, some with lens reversed. The detail is pretty amazing but hard to convey at 72 PPI! |

My gawd! That frikkin' Planar sure shows its mettle, doesn't it?
Way to go, making the best out of a windy day and thinking of going
inside! I need to get that into my head someday instead of giving up
too easily.
I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the SL-66, a true classic
camera with a build that shows the old skill at machining the parts
with critical tolerances.
And again, the Planar shows a clarity and "essence" that can't be beat.
Mark, I'll look for my old Hoya 77mm yellow filter and send it to you
(if I actually find it!). I don't have any more 77mm lenses, so it's
sitting still and not being used. I THINK it's in a box in the attic.

axer, thanks!
Laurence, thanks so much! I appreciate it!
If I were forced to only have one camera, the SL-66 would be it. So versatile, great lenses, fairly light (some would say heavy).
Yes, the Planar is my favorite too. It's a non-HFT version, but I've never had issues with flare as I always use the hood and the glass is recessed quite a bit. Love to try an HFT one day.
Thanks again for hunting for the filter and for your kind comments!
You guys have encouraged me to explore this subject further. |

Regarding "heavy"...how about two years ago when I went to the
backcountry Olympic Mountains for my annual 10-12 day solo outing?
I had an RB-67 Pro with three lenses. And, of course, a small digital
backup. I think the camera gear alone weighed about 15 pounds, or
possibly even more. And here I am, always finding ways to lighten my
pack. EXCEPT for photography equipment.

You have your priorities straight! That's heavy! I'm just a light day-hiker these days.
Very cool that you do an annual solo outing. I used to do the same, the longest being eight days.
There probably aren't many people who know what if feels like to not talk or see another person for days! So good for your soul. Re-entry to the "civilized" world can be harsh. |

Lawrence, I once went on a five day trip in what had just been named The Ansel Adams Wilderness (Yosemite).
We parked on a rugged gravel road. Five days later when we returned to the car, the whole area around the road had been logged!
It was a shocking end to a great five days.

Man oh man, I can only IMAGINE...what a shock to come out of the
wild area and when you get to the car it's totally logged. Probably
almost knocked you back on your heels - or maybe you wanted to
turn around right there and get back to the real world -
which of course is the AAW world.
