Agfachrome, Bessaflex TM camera.
List of lenses:
Flektogon 4/20, Tamron 2.5/28, Lydith 3.5/30, MIR-24M 2/35, Sonnar 2.8/85 Rollei M42, Jupiter-37AM 3.5/135, Jupiter-21M 4/200.
I also had a 50mm lens but can't remember which one.
Of these photos, I can recall only using the Sonnar for the portraits.

Some different shots from Attila detailed coverage of the castle and views from it...well it looks like I'll have to use "google street view" for the rest of Budapest city Wink

AM I the only one to think that these Agfachromes have done a fantastic job?
They were cheap compared to Fuji, yet I prefer them over Fuji.
Fuji are more spectacular but Agfachromes were more realistic in my opinion.
Also they deliver amazing detail (in spite of the cheap scanning).

Gorgeous rendering of colors and detail from the Agfachrome! Image #13 is simply one of the
better shots I've seen on this forum. Professional all the way. Very Happy

Nice to see this town on a different point of view as Attila, that's a great reportage with indeed very nice colors & details...
why did you take this flat building on the last picture Rolling Eyes ?

Thanks pich 900 Smile
I photographed this building because it's a good example of communist popular architecture, quite clashing with the classic, pre-war Budapest magnificent buildings,
and because I found it moving how people tried to enliven it by adding personal touches of colour.
It shows that even when living under a communist regime, that wanted to make all people feel gray and anonymous, the persons still tried to make their place the more personal and the less anonymous possible.
It's not the only building of this type that shows these touches of colours, I saw others, so I assumed that this was a common trait, and wanted to document it. Smile

I think it's made for mass amount of people , wasn't any homeless , this type of building was cheapest to build and produce all parts in 'house factory' if they not made it many people has no own home, just like at west or today Hungary.

Yes, indeed it was a good social service that they provided. Better big concrete houses than people sleeping in the streets!

It's a great series. But the colours and tones and textures of no.13 are beautiful. Definitely my favourite.

My faves are 1,2, 8,9 (bring sunscreen next time), 10, 11, 14, and 15, excellent series!

This slide film is not available over here, but I like how it renders colors.

Are these from the new scanner? Larger files show some nice detail.

No Bill, these are from the Epson 4490.
Detail in the Epson has always been good for me. It has a different set of problems: chromatic aberration in B&W scans above all. Then also newton rings that seem to come out of nowhere. And awkward operation (flimsy cheap holders)

I particulary like the colours a lot 17 and 18 display this nicely.
Constructivly i find many of the shots place the viewer at a slant with the objects goimg of to the left mostly, in some cases it may not be possible due to confined space, etc in others a step back and to the right may have fixed it
Example 1 a step back would display all the column and not cut the feet off
2' to much floor losing detail in the towers roof a step to the right and a crouch may have worked better
